Jadon Sancho has shown the benefit of his midseason break by scoring his second goal of 2023 for Manchester United, and his relationship with team-mates Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford appears stronger than ever.
England winger Sancho missed out on a spot in his country's World Cup squad after an up-and-down start to the season under Erik ten Hag. The United boss sent the player on an individual training programme in the Netherlands while other members of the first-team played midseason friendlies, and he was not welcomed back to the fold immediately.
The former Borussia Dortmund star finally returned to first-team action in February, coming off the bench against Nottingham Forest in the semi-finals of the EFL Cup. Since then, he has scored twice in the league, with the second of those goals coming against Leicester on Sunday.
