In an unexpected turn of events, Ten Hag and Sancho have put their issues to rest and immediately integrated the player back into first team training.

Just yesterday, Dortmund posted a picture on X.com of Brandt wearing the number 10 shirt. It was strange because that is the shirt Sancho wore last season.

The post basically confirmed that they were not going to buy Sancho this summer window, which is funny if you consider the dumb tweets they were posting during his loan. "We AlWaYs KnEw HiS gAmE." What a load of nonsense.
On my part, I don't know what to make of this recent development. From a football point of view, Sancho shouldn't even play a single minute for the club. There is no way you can abandon your team mates in one of the most difficult season due to injuries, and choose to sit at home while fit to play. What does that do to the harmony of the dressing room?
On the other hand, it makes economic sense to have Sancho back from the cold. First, it reinforces his value on the market. Second, he is a very good asset that Man Utd can use in the team going forward.
However, even though Sancho is back in the team, I still think that United will more than likely sell him once an acceptable bid comes in. I don't think the club accepts a loan move though.
If he stays, he is absolutely getting booed when he comes onto the pitch. I wonder how he handles it. He has already shown how weak his mentality is, so he might struggle.
Well, let's see what happens.
