Sancho has shown a renewed spark during pre-season training, potentially making a case to Erik ten Hag for his reintegration into the team at Old Trafford. James Ducker of Telegraph Sport observed Sancho’s lively performance in an open training session, where he trained alongside Casemiro, Hannibal Mejbri, and Ethan Wheatley. This spirited display offers a hint that Sancho could remain at the club beyond the summer.

Last season, Ten Hag sidelined Sancho due to concerns over his attitude in training. Sancho then spent time on loan at Borussia Dortmund, where he delivered notable performances, especially in the Champions League, possibly mending his relationship with Ten Hag. Despite this, Sancho’s future at United remains uncertain.

He has been linked with potential moves away from Old Trafford, with Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus expressing interest. However, Manchester United hopes to recover as much of their initial investment as possible, which could complicate any transfer deal.

Sancho has another opportunity to make an impression in pre-season when United faces Arsenal on Saturday. After playing 45 minutes in United’s 2-0 win over Rangers last weekend, he will be eager to add more minutes against the Gunners, who recently drew 1-1 with Bournemouth.
