Could Jadon Sancho be reintegrated at Man Utd? Manager Erik ten Hag gives unwavering response to questions over handling of outcast winger

The Dutchman has defended his decision to banish Sancho from the squad in September for speaking out against him on social media after being left out of the squad to face Arsenal. Sancho has not played for United or trained with the first team since he suggested he was being made a scapegoat for the Red Devils' struggles, leaving the club without a £74 million ($92m) asset.

"No, I would not do anything different," Sancho told the United We Stand fanzine in an interview.

Sancho last kicked a ball for United in August, playing 30 minutes in a 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest. He has not been included in a matchday squad since, and has been linked with a potential January move to Juventus.

According to a report in The Mirror, several United players want to see Sancho reinstated to the squad. But that seems highly unlikely after Sancho refused to publicly apologise to Ten Hag for the incident. The most likely solution to the impasse is that Sancho leaves United in the January transfer window.
