Manchester United are continuing conversations with Borussia Dortmund over the possibility of sending Jadon Sancho to the c on loan until the end of the 2023/24 season, as transfer expert Fabrizio Romano exclusively provides GIVEMESPORT with the latest internal update from Old Trafford
Erik ten Hag will be keen to see the back of the winger from his Red Devils squad after a public fallout between the pair took place in September 2023.
Man Utd have endured a tumultuous first half of the season but could look towards the 2024 winter transfer window to help solve their issues ahead of the latter stages of the campaign. Sancho will be disappointed with how his career in Manchester has turned out and could be eager to return to Dortmund, where he made his name in European football.
Manchester United were delighted to secure Sancho’s signature from Borussia Dortmund during the summer of 2021, having acquired his services in a deal worth £73m. During several impressive campaigns at Dortmund, the winger made an impression, scoring 50 goals in 137 appearances for the Bundesliga giants
However, Sancho’s time at Old Trafford has not gone how he or the 20-time English champions hoped. Just nine Premier League goals in 58 appearances haven’t represented good value for money, making his transfer a talking point among fans and pundits alike.
Following Man Utd’s 3-1 defeat at Arsenal in September 2023, ten Hag was asked why Sancho had been dropped from the matchday squad that travelled to the capital. The Dutchman implied that the wide man was unavailable, having performed poorly during training that week.
Sancho would hit back in a now-deleted post on X, claiming that he felt he had been made a scapegoat for some time and that he “won’t allow” others to say things he doesn’t believe were true. Unsurprisingly, the former England international has not been involved in the first-team picture in the following four months and is on the verge of an Old Trafford exit.
On 8th January, Romano revealed that Dortmund are increasingly confident of sealing a return for Sancho, with the winger ready to travel as soon as he receives the green light to do so. The German outfit’s CEO, Hans-Joachim Watzke, has also confirmed (via Romano) that his club are in negotiations to bring the 23-year-old back to Signal Iduna Park:
