ERIK TEN HAG revealed Jadon Sancho is making progress but is still not ready to return to the squad.
Sancho was made to train alone earlier this month, with his manager suggesting he has dropped a level.
Ten Hag was unable to offer an update on when Sancho may be available for selection when asked earlier this week.
He has now revealed the winger is back in Manchester but not ready to return to the squad.
The United boss said: “The time is not now [for him to return to the squad] but he is making progress.
“We will see when he is ready to return into the squad. He’s back in Manchester, he will start individual training.”

Sancho’s last appearance came before the World Cup against Chelsea on October 22.
He also travelled to the Netherlands during the World Cup break to train with coaches recommended by Ten Hag.
The trip was designed to help Sancho in his fitness and mental wellness.
Sancho was also left out of United’s warm weather training camp in Spain to focus on an individual programme.
