Jadon Sancho has made his first appearance at Manchester United’s Carrington training ground since being exiled by United manager Erik Ten Hag.
The 23-year-old was spotted wearing a United training coat and posing for a photo with a young fan and midfielder Kobbie Mainoo.
Sancho held a mobile phone and cap in his hand and smiled for the camera, appearing to have made the young fan’s day by stopping for the pic.
The picture is reportedly taken yesterday, meaning Sancho was present at the training ground whilst United played out their 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
Sancho has not featured for the Red Devils since their win over Nottingham Forest on August 26.
He was dropped from the squad entirely for their visit to Arsenal a week later before being publicly criticised by Ten Hag.
The former Borussia Dortmund star then hit back on social media before later deleting his post.
A late move to the Saudi Pro League was then floated, but a transfer failed to materialise before the deadline.
Sancho has since been banished from the United first-team and made to train alone. He has also been prohibited from accessing all first-team areas at the training ground, including the club canteen.
Ten Hag was again asked about Sancho’s situation as he spoke ahead of United’s clash with Palace yesterday and made no secret of showing his frustration with the dispute.
When asked about the prospect of Sancho reviving his United career, Ten Hag replied,
“Many of you ask me this question so often, and I have said everything.”
Asked how long the situation can last, Ten Hag responded,
“What I said, I have said everything.”
It seems that the only solution to the saga will be a January transfer for the 23-year-old.
