Jadon Sancho has reportedly been told he must apologise to Jadon Sancho before returning to Manchester United's squad.
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has reportedly given Jadon Sancho the condition that must be met for him to return to training with the first-team squad.
The 23-year-old winger has been relegated to training alone, according to a club statement released yesterday, which suggested the former Dortmund forward is serving punishment.

Jadon Sancho seen at Man United training ground for the first time since fallout with Erik Ten Hag
For the first time since his in-public altercation with manager Erik Ten Hag, Jadon Sancho has been photographed at the Manchester United training facility.
Why Sancho is being punished
The Manchester City academy graduate infamously put out a post on social media in reply to Ten Hag, claiming he was being scapegoated by the club.
Following the Red Devils’ 3-1 defeat to Arsenal, the Dutch coach was questioned about Sancho’s lack of involvement, and he cited the England international’s poor form in training as the reason.
The player, seemingly aggrieved by the comment, put out the following statement:
“Please don’t believe everything you read,” Sancho stated in a statement on X.com. “I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue.”

“I have conducted myself in training very well this week. I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won’t go into. I have been a scapegoat for a long time which isn’t fair."
Sancho must apologise
The parties have seemingly begun a journey towards reconciliation, as Sancho has since removed the post from his X account.
However, according to a report this morning by Sky Sports, he will not be reinstated into squad dynamics until he tenders an apology to Erik ten Hag.
The former Ajax manager has earned a reputation as a disciplinarian and has dished out punishment to prominent members of the squad like Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford. It remains to be seen how many games Sancho will be frozen out of.
