Manchester United have included Jadon Sancho their 29-man squad for their pre-season tour of the United States but defender Tyrell Malacia has been left out.

The Red Devils announced the travelling party that jetted off to the US on Wednesday afternoon ahead of eye-catching fixtures against Arsenal, Real Betis and Liverpool. 

Erik ten Hag will be able to call upon the likes of Harry Maguire, Rasmus Hojlund, Marcus Rashford and new signing Leny Yoro. 

While notable absentees include fellow recent addition Joshua Zirkzee, Kobbie Mainoo and Luke Shaw, due to international commitments. But Sancho has made the cut despite reports linking him with a move away this summer. 

According to L'Equipe, Sancho is close to agreeing a shock move to Ligue 1 giants PSG.

MAN UNITED CONFIDENTIAL: Red Devils lighten the load in La La Land as they kickstart pre-season tour

The 24-year-old made his first United appearance in almost a year when he featured in the friendly victory against Rangers last weekend.

Sancho has called a truce with United manager Erik ten Hag, who froze him out of the squad due to his performances in training.

Ten Hag expressed hope recently that Sancho could now have an important part to play for United.

In an interview with AD, Ten Hag said: 'We spoke well. Anyone can make a mistake. If the player reflects well on that, then draw a line and continue again.

'This club needs good players, and one thing is for sure: Jadon Sancho is a terribly good player. I hope the click will come after all, and that it will contribute to our success.'

Since joining from Dortmund for £73million in 2021, Sancho has played 82 times for United and has scored 12 goals, while he has provided six assists. 

Meanwhile, Malacia has not featured in a competitive game for more than 13 months since his signing from Feyenoord. The defender underwent knee surgery last summer. 

The 24-year-old was expected to be fit last autumn before a revised return date in February. He continues his rehabilitation from the issue at United's Carrington training ground.
