Manchester United bidder Sir Jim Ratcliffe is reportedly set to demand that Erik ten Hag reaches an olive branch out to outcast winger Jadon Sancho. The United forward has been exiled from the Red Devils first-team squad since September after a falling-out with Ten Hag.<\/p>\n

Ratcliffe is widely expected to have his \u00a31.4billion bid for 25 per-cent of United ratified in the coming weeks. The petrochemicals billionaire will reportedly oversee a sweeping overhaul of the sporting department of the Premier League club.<\/p>\n

One of Ratcliffe\u2019s first tasks could be to resolve the future of Sancho. The 23-year-old publicly hit back at Ten Hag in September when he was accused of not training to a sufficient standard, only to then be removed from the senior set-up at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag demanded that the England star apologise but it is claimed that little remorse was forthcoming. Sancho has since conducted his duties away from his first-team colleagues at the club\u2019s Carrington training base, and Ten Hag reportedly believes that any apology would now be insincere.<\/p>\n

However, the Daily Star reports that Ratcliffe will \u2018order\u2019 Ten Hag to make up with Sancho. The 71-year-old, whose bid is being made through his company INEOS, is concerned that United have an expensive player exiled from the first-team.<\/p>\n

Sancho cost United nearly \u00a370m in 2021 but has struggled under Ten Hag and the pair have barely spoken since their feud. Twelve months ago, the Dutchman gave the former Borussia Dortmund starlet time away from the club to focus on rebuilding his confidence and form.<\/p>\n

He returned after the World Cup but has failed to find the consistency that made him one of Europe\u2019s brightest prospects during his time in Germany. Sancho has scored just 12 times in 82 appearances and has already been strongly linked with an exit amid his uncertain situation at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
