Jadon Sancho ‘desperate’ to leave Man Utd and join Borussia Dortmund

Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho could be on his way out the door in the next few days, and he’s desperate to return to Borussia Dortmund.

The England international, Sancho moved to Old Trafford for £75 million ($95m) in the summer of 2021, has found himself frozen out in the 2023-24 campaign. Having been accused by Erik ten Hag of allowing standards to slip in training, Sancho has not figured for United since August 26 and has been forced to work in the Red Devils’ academy system.

According to Bild, an exit route has been found in the January transfer window. It is claimed that Sancho will be retracing steps to Germany on a short-term deal that will cost Dortmund just £2.6m and allow the 23-year-old to resume his professional career in familiar surroundings.

It is suggested that a few minor tax details need to be ironed out before Sancho is free to leave Manchester United, with it possible that he could join Dortmund at their Marbella winter training camp on Friday – prior to BVB taking in a friendly date with AZ Alkmaar on Saturday.

Sancho previously recorded 50 goals and 64 assists for Dortmund through 137 appearances, before posting just 12 efforts of his own and teeing up six more across 82 outings for United. He stepped off the bench on three occasions at the start of the current campaign, but has found himself in exile ever since.
