Sancho, 24, has not played for Manchester United since August 2023, after a publicized dispute with the team’s manager. There have been rumors of Sancho leaving Old Trafford, but following a meeting with Ten Hag, he is now back in pre-season training. Ten Hag agreed to move on from Sancho’s past issues during a meeting at their training base this week, with no clear indication from United about whether he is still available for transfer.

Since his transfer from Dortmund three years ago, Sancho has reportedly underperformed. During Ten Hag’s first season, Sancho trained alone to refocus himself mentally and physically after a challenging first 18 months in Manchester. McCarthy, speaking about his conversation with Sancho, mentioned that the player felt apologizing would imply admitting to lazy and irresponsible behavior, and was hesitant to do so.

McCarthy attempted to reason with Sancho, drawing from his own background, but was unsuccessful in convincing him to apologize. It appears that the situation between Sancho and the manager has been resolved, with Sancho back in training. There is still uncertainty regarding his potential transfer.
