And the club issued a short clip depicting his first day in a behind-the-scenes video. The Slovenia international showed up in a red Jeep and posed for pictures with the Red Devils' home jersey on.

‘He got one?' – Man Utd fans confused as frozen out player is given locker in dressing room
MANCHESTER UNITED fans were left baffled to see a frozen out player's name on a locker in the redeveloped Carrington training base. Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Co. toured the new facilities and in the dressing room there was one locker tucked away in the corner.

Sancho is part of Ruben Amorim's 'bomb squad' alongside Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia - who are set to be exiled. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK The banished quartet have reportedly been kept away from the first-team after recently returning from the US. Advertisement But they have not been forgotten in the £50million revamp of Carrington. Garnacho, Antony, Malacia and Sancho all have a peg and locker in the new look first team dressing room. Each spot also has a touchscreen pad to let them know their schedules for the days ahead. The four players will be allowed to continue using the facilities at the club's Carrington training ground. Advertisement But they will be given a "different schedule" to their team-mates to keep them separate. Sancho and Co were all left at home for the pre-season tour of the US. They were also told by hardline Red Devils boss Amorim to use the time to find a new club. Marcus Rashford escaped by signing for the Spanish giants on a season-long loan last month.
