Jadon Sancho

After months of rehabilitation, Jadon Sancho is back, and United have options in attack. They're also in a cup final. Somehow, it's all going to plan.

But his replacement, Teddy Sheringham, scored the opening goal, and a couple of hours later, the treble was two-thirds complete. And then add Balogun to the picture! The general chatter around the Chelsea splurge is that they think they've identified inefficiencies in the market and intend to carry on doing this for another couple of years, on the understanding that the club can double in value. They definitely will end the season with two strikers able to make a serious claim for a single spot. 10, and later explained that he was trying to create a "different dynamic" in the team. He seems to be doing fine, and so do the club. The answer: "A secret third footballer." And to go from 'Christian Eriksen is injured' to 'Hello, Marcel Sabitzer' in the space of nine hours is… Even the weird improvisations in the transfer market appear to be working: Wout Weghorst may not be rattling them in, but he's making a lot of co-commentators admire his link-up play, and that's the real quiz. Perhaps he was trying to make sure that Sancho, on his return, saw plenty of the ball. He didn't come onto the pitch, seize possession, dribble round a million defenders and score, which is perhaps something of a shame. But they turn up, the right result happens, and then they go home again.

Erik ten Hag's triple substitution just past the hour inspired Manchester United to a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest in Wednesday's League Cup semi-final ...

The free-kick was given the other way for obstruction and Antony let Dennis know what he thought of his theatrics with an earful. In the first 20 minutes, the attacker feigned to ground after a shoulder-to-shoulder with Casemiro. The 22-year-old was asked to play behind Martial and linked up the play well in his return and was given marauding freedom. And after a trying period, the attacker was handed his return on Wednesday evening in front of a packed house. Steve Cooper gave Sancho a hug at full-time, the player working under the Forest boss during their England Under-17s World Cup win in 2017. The winger underwent an individualised training programme over the festive period in an effort to reclaim his form.

Jadon Sancho returned to Manchester United action for the first time in over three months last night.

We see that smile, and hopefully, he can keep that and contribute to the team. "He can have more touches on the ball. And [Erik ten Hag](/latest/erik-ten-hag) has suggested two reasons why the 22-year-old can rediscover his best form since returning to England in the coming months and years. "We're playing more in the opposition half [so] his capabilities come in more in front and come in more. He told reporters: "[The] most important [thing is that] players enjoy football, which gives energy. He's [been] back at Carrington for two weeks.

Erik ten Hag has confirmed that he is considering a positional switch for Jadon Sancho, following his return to the first-team squad.
