Erik ten Hag has offered Jadon Sancho the chance of a new lease of life at Manchester United.
The Dutchman has informed the winger that he has drawn a line under their disagreement that saw Sancho head to Borussia Dortmund on loan.
Sancho has returned to first-team training at Man Utd ahead of the new season after his temporary switch to Dortmund.

Ten Hag will also be in the dugout for the Red Devils ahead of the new season.
And the player could be offered a second chance by Ten Hag. MEN reports that clear-the-air talks were held at Carrington last week and now the pair are working together again in pre-season.
Sancho was banished from the club’s first-team squad in September after he accused Ten Hag of lying. He felt that he had been made a scapegoat after the coach publicly berated his conduct in training following the club’s Premier League loss to Arsenal.

Sancho could stay at Old Trafford
After refusing to apologise he was axed from the first-team and sent on loan to Dortmund.
Man Utd had intended to sell Sancho, with Dortmund keen. But the German club did not follow up on their interest and Julian Brandt has been handed Sancho's No.10 shirt.
Ten Hag has now said that his relationship with Sancho is on the mend and that the pair had drawn a line under the affair.
"As we said, we draw the line. Manchester United need good players and Jadon is a good player. We have drawn that line and we move on," said Ten Hag.
Man Utd are in need of a right-winger and had previously been linked to Michael Olise.
They have Sancho, Antony, and Amad Diallo as their first choices, but there is the feeling that they should look to bring in another name.
