Patrice Evra has heaped praise on Erik ten Hag for the discipline he has instilled in the squad - as shown by the management of Jadon Sancho.
The United winger returned to action for the first time in 2012 days on Wednesday, coming on as a 63rd-minute substitute in the 2-0 Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg win over Nottingham Forest. Ten Hag had cited a lack of fitness for the 22-year-old's omission from both games and first-team training, sanctioning an individual training programme in the Netherlands while the rest of the squad went to Marbella in December.
Sancho returned to training just over a fortnight ago as he continues to build up match sharpness, and Wednesday's introduction was met with joyous cheers around Old Trafford and a beaming smile from the player, who found time to crack a joke with Ten Hag on the sideline - a moment missed by many but one that highlights the respect he has for Ten Hag, even after being left out of action for so long.
