Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed a new decision regarding Jadon Sancho.
The Englishman has not played for the Red Devils since their 1-1 draw with Chelsea in October last year.

After the turn of the year, amid concerns for his mental wellbeing, Sancho spent weeks on an individual training programme at Carrington following a two-month training spell in the Netherland as he was deemed to not be physically and mentally ready to be with the first team.
On 19 January, the 22-year-old returned to full training with the rest of the squad, but Ten Hag insisted the player would not be rushed back into action.
With United now set to enter another busy period with eight fixtures this month alone, the Dutch manager has now confirmed that Sancho will return to the matchday squad for their Carabao Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night.
"I think that Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho will return in the game squad, but Scott McTominay will still be absent," Ten Hag said in a pre-match press conference.
"I think also the next game [against Crystal Palace] he will be absent.
"We have to see how that process will go.
"And for the rest, I think everyone is fit."
