Jadon Sancho has been outcast from the Manchester United team after falling out with manager Erik ten Hag in the early days of the season in September. Seemingly, his time at Old Trafford is certainly over, as the dispute between the player and boss is far from being resolved anytime soon.
Despite attempts from his well-wishers and teammates to motivate the forward to issue an apology to the boss, the 23-year-old has remained adamant on the non-apologetic stance. Amid the ongoing absence, Jadon Sancho’s profile takes a poetic feature in Manchester United’s calendar as his move to Dortmund advances.
Is Jadon Sancho returning to Borussia Dortmund?
Jadon Sancho was sidelined from playing due to his response to Ten Hag on social media after the Dutch manager criticized him. In his post, the winger denied Ten Hag’s assertion of not being up to the standard in training to be included in the team’s squad. Since then, he has not returned to first-team action.
The anticipation of his loan move out of the club has been fueled by his prolonged absence from the pitch. He was initially linked to a loan move to Serie A side Juventus. Recent reports suggest a possible return to Borussia Dortmund in a sensational swap deal.
In addition to Dortmund, another Bundesliga club, RB Leipzig, expressed their interest despite hindrances regarding the high wages that the player enjoys at the Premier League club. Despite several interests, Jadon Sancho’s preferred destination remained Signal Iduna Park, where he initially broke into the big stage.
According to recent developments on Sancho and Dortmund, a loan deal is underway, with the player having faith that the Bundesliga club would be an ideal destination to regain his lost form. Both clubs are negotiating factors like salary and loan fee details. If things go well, the talks will advance to the next stage.
Details on Jadon Sancho’s contract with Manchester United
Manchester United secured Jadon Sancho’s services back in 2021 by paying a huge £73 million fee to Borussia Dortmund, agreeing to a long-term deal of five seasons valid until the summer of 2026. At Manchester United, he earns nearly £250,000 per week and is estimated to earn £13,000,000 annually.
As it stands, Manchester United is seeking to reduce its expenditure on Sancho after the 23-year-old failed to justify his hefty price tag during his three-season spell in the Premier League. A possible six-month loan spell to Borussia Dortmund appears imminent, with a potential permanent transfer on the horizon in the summer.
