Jadon Sancho has broken his silence with an emotional message following his return to Manchester United this week.
The 22-year-old, who made his first appearance since October against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday, provided a statement on social media, acknowledging fans after his time away from the club.

He wrote: "Wow! Just want to say a massive thank you to everyone for the support I've received over the past few weeks, especially to the fans.
"My focus is to give my all to my team and the club. I'm so happy to be back out on the pitch. See you soon."
The last time the former Borussia Dortmund played for the Red Devils was in their 1-1 draw at Chelsea over three months ago. He has trained individually since then, while Erik ten Hag even sent him away to see specialists to get his fitness up.
But the Dutchman finally deemed him ready to return midweek, putting him on as part of a triple substitution in the side’s win against Forest at Old Trafford.
Sancho had not posted on social media since September, but his feature in the FA Cup clash also marked his return to Instagram and Twitter, along with a new profile picture featuring Ten Hag.
Against Forest. Sancho was brought on after 63 minutes alongside Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial and played for half an hour as United booked their place in this month's Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium against Newcastle.
Sancho gets warm reception
He received raucous applause from the fans inside the ground mid-week and was seen joking with Ten Hag on the touchline before entering the field of play.
Sancho has struggled for consistency since his £72million move from Dortmund last summer.
The Red Devils look to continue their challenge for a Champions League spot - they are level on points with Newcastle (39), and one place below the Magpies, in fifth.
