Jadon Sancho is said to be able to return to MU after ending his loan period at Dortmund, but only if a specific condition is met.
Sancho’s Man United career seemed to be over after he returned to Borussia Dortmund on loan last month. The Red Devils paid £73 million to sign the English attacker from Dortmund in the summer of 2021, but two years later he was dropped from the first team after falling out with coach Erik ten Hag.

The Dutch coach removed Sancho from the squad in Man United’s 1-3 loss to Arsenal in September 2023, citing poor training standards. Sancho has publicly denied this and said that he is being used as a scapegoat for MU’s poor start to the season.

After the 23-year-old refused to apologize to Ten Hag and his teammates, he was banned from using the first team facilities at Carrington training ground and forced to train with the U21 team. After 3 months off, Sancho returned to Dortmund on loan until the end of the season. However, despite what has happened in the past few months, MU has not completely ended their relationship with the England player.

According to Football Insider, Man United will not make a final decision on Sancho’s future until the summer because the club’s owners consider this issue tied to Ten Hag’s future.

The report says that Sancho could return to Old Trafford, but only if Ten Hag leaves the club. The Dutch coach has not yet signed a new contract after an unstable start to the 2023/24 season. This means his contract will expire at the end of the 2024/25 season. Meanwhile, Sancho still has a contract until 2026.

Dortmund’s sporting director Sebastian Kehl recently admitted that it will be difficult for the Bundesliga club to sign a long-term contract with Sancho. “Unfortunately for both players (Sancho and Ian Maatsen), the option to buy under their loan terms is not really realistic,” he told Sky Sports Germany.

“If you know what we got for Jadon Sancho two and a half years ago, then you know that now it can be very, very difficult.”
