Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund are currently engaged in discussions regarding a potential loan deal for Jadon Sancho.
The 23-year-old winger has been excluded from Old Trafford since September due to his refusal to apologize to manager Erik ten Hag. Sancho publicly expressed feeling like a “scapegoat” after being omitted from the squad to face Arsenal.
In October, 90min reported that Sancho was optimistic about returning to Dortmund on loan, as a reintegration at United seemed unlikely without an apology. Multiple sources from both England and Germany now confirm that the two clubs are actively negotiating the terms of the move.

For the deal to materialize, Dortmund may need to contribute a significant portion of Sancho’s salary. It remains uncertain whether United will seek a replacement signing of their own. Reports suggest that an agreement could be reached by the end of the week.
While other Bundesliga clubs such as Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig, and VfB Stuttgart, along with the cash-rich Saudi Pro League, have shown interest in acquiring Sancho, a return to the club where he gained prominence seems to be the most probable move.
During his four-year tenure at Dortmund, Sancho made 137 appearances, scored 50 goals, and secured titles like the DFB-Pokal and DFB-Supercup. He emerged as one of the most dynamic young wingers globally and was on United’s radar for nearly two years before joining in 2021 in a deal worth up to £73m.
Initially seen as a solution for United’s right-wing issues, Sancho shifted to the left flank, a position he predominantly played at Dortmund. However, he has struggled to meet expectations, experiencing inconsistencies in the lineup. After four months on the sidelines and witnessing United’s European exit and Premier League decline, Sancho’s Red Devils career appears to be concluding on a disappointing note.
