‘He can also play in wide areas but it could be that he is a good option.’
Sancho has featured in five of United’s opening six pre-season matches, coming off the bench during their FA Community Shield defeat by Manchester City on Saturday afternoon.
Sancho would subsequently step up to take a penalty in the resulting shoot-out, but missed his spot-kick.
But Ten Hag once again delivered the backing to his winger, stating: ‘He’s a very good penalty taker and I had — and have — no doubts to let him score a penalty. Also in the future, he will take penalties.’
The pair appear to have set aside any previous tensions after the winger left the club midway through last season, following a spat with the Dutchman.
