The Jadon Sancho saga is dragging on, with the England international still banned from the training facilities of Manchester United. The England international had a fallout with manager Erik Ten Hag over ‘effort in training’ in September and has been banished from all first team activities. However, reports have now emerged that the English winger may be welcomed back to the team if he apologises to Erik Ten Hag. It is being said that the apology will be made public.

If he doesn’t come out to issue an apology, Jadon Sancho will likely leave Manchester United this January.
According to various reports, a loan is more probable than a long-term move at the moment, while a return to Borussia Dortmund is unexpected but possible.
Sancho saga
Ten Hag is determined not to give in to Sancho’s demands, who has been out of action since August after claiming on social media that he had been used as a sacrificial lamb.
This came after Ten Hag revealed that the winger had not been included in the team for the 3-0 loss at Arsenal because of his “training form”.
United were hopeful that a settlement could be reached, with Murtough, the director of football, and Arnold, the chief executive, both attempting to broker a deal, but there has been no sign of compromise from either side.
However, it is possible that Sancho may soften his stand now. It is being claimed that any apology Sancho issues to Ten Hag for his indiscipline will be made public by the Manchester United board. If it happens, it will be victory for Ten Hag who has kept Sancho out of the team.
Reports claim that the treatment meted out to Sancho has not been taken kindly by some of the players who have doubted the Dutchman’s uncompromising approach and believe it has negatively impacted team unity.
