Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has said he does not know when winger Jadon Sancho will return to the first-team squad, with the 22-year-old currently not in the right physical or mental state.
Sancho is not with the United squad on a two-match tour of Spain preparing for the return of the Premier League later this month following the end of the World Cup in Qatar.

Instead, Ten Hag said, Sancho is in the Netherlands working individually with coaches in attempt to get him back in playing shape.
“He’s not fit enough,” Ten Hag told reporters in Spain. “We didn’t see him in the last games for United as he wasn’t in the right fitness state and he is now on an individual programme.
“We want him to finish that and hopefully see him back soon. We want to bring him back as quickly as possible but I can’t give a prognosis of when that will be.”
