Sancho is currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund after the player and ten Hag had a spectacular bust up earlier this season.

Ten Hag jettisoned Sancho, 24, from the first team squad for United’s clash against Arsenal in September after accusing him of not having the right attitude in training.

Sancho responded furiously in a statement posted on Instagram, accusing ten Hag of making him a “scapegoat”.

The £73m man was never selected again by ten Hag and joined Dortmund on loan in January.

Now the pair face an awkward reunion after Sancho purchased a £3.8 million stunning new home just a few minute’s walk from ten Hag’s home in Hale, Gtr Manchester.

The five-bedroom home boasts an indoor swimming pool, cinema room and a huge open plan kitchen, living room and dining room.

A source said: “Jadon and ten Hag have clearly struggled to get on this year and both have very strong views on each other.

“Ten Hag is adamant Sancho should apologise, Jadon is equally as firm that he has nothing to apologise for and if anything he has been mistreated.

“They struggle to get along when they are working, so the idea of them bumping into each other in the street could make for a very awkward encounter.”
