Jadon Sancho will complete his third season with Manchester United at Borussia Dortmund. The 23-year-old returned to Dortmund on a loan deal until the end of the season.
Sancho's Manchester United exit was envisaged following his fallout with Erik ten Hag since September 2023. The wantaway winger saw his Old Trafford career grind to a halt after his public spat with Erik ten Hag.
He was frozen out of Manchester United's first team, barred from accessing first-team training facilities, including dining halls, and demoted to the academy team.
Erik ten Hag repeatedly extended an olive branch to Jadon Sancho to apologize and return to the squad but the English winger refused to budge. With no end in sight to the fallout, an exit solution for Sancho was a reasonable option.
Sancho has sealed a loan move to Borussia Dortmund and is hoping to 'play football with a smile on his face again.'
His loan move to the Bundesliga giants brings to an end a difficult phase in his career due to the tense relationship with Erik ten Hag.
