Back to the old nest? “Scapegoat” Jadon Sancho is surplus to requirements at Man United and is close to returning to Borussia Dortmund

The transfer period officially started again on January 1. And that means rumors galore. For example, according to various foreign media, Jadon Sancho is close to a return to his ex-club, Borussia Dortmund.

It is July 2021. 21-year-old Jadon Sancho has secured his dream transfer. The winger leaves Borussia Dortmund and moves to Manchester United, which pays 85 million euros for him. At that time, Sancho is the third most expensive purchase ever of the Mancunians. Only for Paul Pogba (105 million) and Harry Maguire (87 million) did Man U pay more.

A large amount, but it was not surprising. In his four years in German employment, Sancho scored 50 goals and 64 assists in 137 games. Nice numbers, and that was also the Red Devils noticed.

However, Sancho never really made waves at Man U. In his first season he recorded five goals and three assists, in his second season he recorded seven goals and three assists. This season, the Englishman’s counters are still at zero. And that should not be surprising. In August, Sancho was removed from the squad by coach Erik te Hag. Reason for this: the winger would not train well enough.

Scapegoat

In the few days that remained in August, Ten Hag even wanted to get rid of Sancho. However, a suitable buyer no longer presented itself, meaning that player and club were tied to each other for another four months. The situation frustrated Sancho, who expressed his displeasure on social media. “Do not believe everything you read. I have been a scapegoat for some time.” There were no apologies to his Dutch coach.

With the start of the winter mercato, Man United is now making a new attempt to get rid of Sancho. And this time things seem to be moving quickly. The Mancunians After all, they are in discussions with Borussia Dortmund about a loan for their attacker. Sancho himself already sees a return to his old love, but now the clubs themselves have to reach an agreement. The main point of discussion is the salary of the 23-year-old Englishman.
