With Jadon Sancho having not been pictured in Manchester United training since October 31 - while he has also not played since the 1-1 draw at Chelsea - it remains unclear when Erik ten Hag will reintroduce him into the first-team squad. Even with a Carabao Cup clash against Burnley to come on Wednesday night, the England international has still not returned to Carrington.
The Manchester Evening News reported that the 22-year-old would not be available for selection against Vincent Kompany's side in midweek, with Sancho - who started an individual training programme in the Netherlands four weeks ago - having not travelled to Spain for the recent warm-weather training camp.
Sancho has made 14 appearances under Erik ten Hag so far this season, with 12 of those coming as a starter. While the attacker has scored three times and recorded one assist, his overall performances, particularly prior to the break in the domestic campaign, were below the level that he, and his manager, were expecting.
