Jadon Sancho: Man Utd misfit closes in on loan return to Borussia Dortmund
Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund are in negotiations over a deal for Jadon Sancho to return to the Bundesliga club on loan.
The England international, who moved to United from Dortmund in 2021 for £73 million, finds himself in a tough situation at Old Trafford, which has led to a period of exile from the first team.
Challenges under Erik ten Hag
The issues between Sancho and Ten Hag escalated following a match against Arsenal after Sancho was left out of the squad due to performance issues in training.
Sancho responded to this decision by disputing Ten Hag's assessment on social media, stating that he had been unfairly made a "scapegoat." This public disagreement led to Sancho training separately from the team and ultimately to the potential loan move.
Potential Loan Move to Dortmund
Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund are reportedly close to finalizing a loan deal for Sancho. The deal is said to cost Dortmund around £2.6 million, including the loan fee and a portion of Sancho's salary.
Sancho's return to Dortmund, where he previously had a successful spell, scoring 50 goals and providing 58 assists in 137 games, is viewed as an opportunity for him to rediscover his form and enjoy his football again.
Ten Hag's stance and Sancho's future at Manchester United
Ten Hag has indicated that the door remains open for Sancho at Manchester United, emphasizing the need for players to meet certain standards and culture at the club.
He suggested that Sancho's return to the team would depend on his willingness to adhere to these standards.
The move could be beneficial for all parties involved. For Sancho, it's a chance to get regular playing time and regain confidence. For Dortmund, it's an opportunity to bolster their squad with a familiar and talented player. And for Manchester United, it allows them to potentially rehabilitate the value of a significant investment, either for a future role at the club or for a better transfer outcome.
In his last season at Borussia Dortmund before moving to Old Trafford, Sancho scored 16 goals and assisted 20 more in 36 matches and he will be hoping to rediscover that sort of form with a move back to Germany.
