Only four Manchester United players have “liked” the club’s post confirming Jadon Sancho’s reintegration into the first-team squad.
On Friday, United announced that Sancho had rejoined training with the club after a meeting with manager Erik ten Hag.

The 24-year-old had a falling out with Ten Hag last season, leading to him training separately from the first team before securing a loan move to Borussia Dortmund in January.
Sancho made a strong impression as Dortmund reached the Champions League final, and he returned to United on Wednesday for testing, followed by training with his teammates the next day.
Reportedly, clear-the-air talks took place between Sancho and Ten Hag earlier this week, with both sides agreeing to move past their previous issues.
It is unclear whether Ten Hag received an apology after Sancho posted a controversial message on social media in response to the United manager’s criticism of his training performances.
United announced his return on Instagram, with the caption: “Jadon has returned to United training at Carrington, as our pre-season work continues.”
At the time of writing, only four United players have “liked” the announcement—Bruno Fernandes, Mason Mount, Andre Onana, and Diogo Dalot.
Sancho is reportedly not expected to play in Monday’s opening pre-season friendly with Rosenborg.
However, the 24-year-old will be available for the remainder of United’s pre-season schedule, which includes a trip to Edinburgh to play Rangers at Murrayfield and a three-match tour of the US.
Meanwhile, veteran defender Jonny Evans has signed a new one-year deal with the club after making 30 appearances last season.
Evans came up through the club’s academy to the senior team in his first spell before moving to West Brom and then Leicester.
He made a substitute appearance for United in last season’s FA Cup final victory over rivals Manchester City.
“I am delighted to have extended my contract at Manchester United for another season,” said Evans. “To play for this great club and feel the support from our incredible fans is always a privilege.
“Returning to the club last season was an honor; representing the team on the pitch alongside fantastic teammates under an excellent manager.
“Winning the FA Cup together was an unforgettable experience; I know we can challenge for more trophies in the season ahead.”
