Erik ten Hag was all smiles as he welcomed Jadon Sancho back into the fold during Manchester United 's win over Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.
The Red Devils eased past Forest in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final, completing a 5-0 win on aggregate. The clash at Old Trafford also marked Sancho's first appearance since before the World Cup.
He has spent time away from Old Trafford in recent months before returning to first-team training in January. After building himself back into Ten Hag's plans, Sancho finally made his long-awaited return to a matchday squad for the visit of Forest.
