Jadon Sancho has been spotted at Man United‘s training centre for the first time since his fallout with manager Erik ten Hag.
The United winger has been exiled from Ten Hag’s squad as he refuses to back down and apologise to the head coach after hitting out at him in a now-deleted social media post.
Sancho claimed he was being made a ‘scapegoat’ in an online retort after being dropped from United’s matchday squad in a 3-1 defeat against Arsenal at the start of September.
And now, after he was banished from using first-team facitilies, the winger has now been spotted back at Carrington for the first time since the public falling out.
Sancho was seen posing for a picture alongside team-mate Kobbie Mainoo and a young fan at a United 18 match on Saturday.

Sancho can be seen with a smile on his face as he poses for the photo while wearing a Man United puffer jacket.
The caption of the post, on the fan’s account, read: ‘Watching united u18’s with the lads’.
United’s U18’s stormed to a 5-1 victory over Newcastle on Saturday – where both Sancho and Mainoo watched on from the sidelines.
Mail Sport previously revealed that Sancho will train away from the rest of United’s first-team squad as he tries to heal his rift with manager ten Hag.
A club statement read: ‘Jadon Sancho will remain on a personal training programme away from the first-team group pending resolution of a squad discipline issue.’
Sancho has not featured for the Red Devils’s first-team since their win over Nottingham Forest on August 26.
Issues arose between Sancho and ten Hag after the Dutch coach had claimed the winger’s omission from United’s 3-1 defeat by Arsenal on September 3rd was because of his ‘performances in training.’
It prompted a response from the England forward who claimed he was ‘being made a scapegoat’ in a now-deleted social media post.
He wrote on X, formerly Twitter: ‘I have conducted myself in training very well this week’ and ‘I’ve been a scapegoat for a long time which isn’t fair!’
Ten Hag was set to hold talks with Sancho to clear the air, with Mail Sport also revealing that Man United football director football John Murtough and CEO Richard Arnold had taken an active role in trying to repair the rift.

On a positive note for United, fellow winger Antony resumed training at Carrington on Saturday before prior to their 1-0 loss at home to Crystal Palace.
The 23-year-old was questioned by Greater Manchester Police on Thursday over allegations that he attacked his girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin – which he strongly denies – and was allowed to go home without any restrictions.
United issued a statement announcing Antony’s return before Ten Hag’s press conference on Friday, and the Dutchman said: ‘We make the statement so I refer to the statement, everything has been made clear in the statement. No, I don’t think it’s a distraction. We will focus on the games. He will do as well.
‘On Saturday, he will be back in training, so tomorrow. I have to see, but I think, yeah (he’s fit).’
