Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says he will be patient reintroducing Jadon Sancho to his team as “footballers are not robots”.

Sancho has struggled for form since his £73m move to United from Borussia Dortmund in July 2021.

The England winger has not featured for United since the 1-1 Premier League draw at Chelsea on 22 October.

United have won nine of their 10 matches in all competitions in the 22-year-old’s absence, with Sancho currently following an individual training programme devised to get him back to the level required to play in the Premier League.
