The Red Devils bought the former Borussia Dortmund player for over £70million in 2021 and Ratcliffe knows the value of the asset is falling as he continues to be unused.
It remains likely that Sancho will leave Old Trafford in January, but Ratcliffe reportedly believes United could get more for him if he were brought back from the cold.
He is currently on a contract worth around £250,000 a week, which doesn’t expire until June 2026.
It is not yet known whether Ten Hag will be able to fully repair his relationship with Sancho or will ever feel like he can choose him again.
The United outcast has recently been the subject of interest from Saudi Arabia along with Tottenham striker Richarlison.
Juventus are also interested in Sancho but could probably only sign him on loan, which would not suit United.
