And Ten Hag hailed his returning star, who only rejoined full training with the first team recently.

He said: “It’s good to have Jadon back.

“It’s most important players enjoy football. It gives energy and that gives them the motivation to perform. The reception from the fans to him was great and that will also give him more of a push to continue.”

Ten Hag looked delighted to have Sancho back, as the pair enjoyed a laugh on the touchline before the Dutch coach gave the youngster a pat on the head before he entered the fray.

He brought on Sancho just after the hour mark, and the youngster could not keep the smile off his face as he entered to chants of “Sancho, Sancho”.

The ex-Dortmund ace had last played away to Chelsea on October 22 before being left out of Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the World Cup.

Sancho was made to focus on an individual training programme after linking up with coaches Ten Hag had previously worked while teammates were in Qatar.

However, there now appears to be light at the end of the tunnel for the attacker following his cameo.

And Ten Hag believes Sancho can make a difference in the key games ahead, adding: “He already showed that this season.

“For instance in the game against Liverpool he scored a great goal. He scored against Leicester, he had some good games like Spurs — so he already showed his great capabilities. He has high standards.”

Below are some of the reactions culled from Twitter by infoexpert24:

No doubt it’s been a tough 3 months for Jadon Sancho but I can’t express how incredible it is to see him back in a United shirt.🤩

Looked lively when he came and brilliant that he received a welcome reception.

The way Ten Hag handled it has been outstanding. pic.twitter.com/NjV69pxZ4Q

This is an example of management, Erik Ten Hag wasn’t happy with the first half even though @ManUtd won 2-0 and got to the #CarabaoCup final, yet the way he helped @Sanchooo10 over the weeks just shows how he just gets it! pic.twitter.com/x5wPCD9o0L
