Jadon Sancho completes Borussia Dortmund loan move from Manchester United

Jadon Sancho has officially moved on a six-month loan move to Borussia Dortmund from Manchester United after Erik ten Hag exiled him from Old Trafford.

Jadon Sancho has not stepped foot on a football pitch since the end of August after a public spat between Erik ten Hag and the winger left him banished from all first-team activities at Manchester United.

Sancho was dropped from the squad to face Arsenal due to poor training performances, according to Ten Hag, with the player releasing a social media statement in the aftermath of the loss that he was being scapegoated by the manager for the bad results of the team.

This resulted in Ten Hag banishing Sancho from all first-team activities, stating that an apology is the only way back into the squad, but this has not materialised, and Sancho will now spend the remainder of his season on loan at his former club Borussia Dortmund.

In a club statement, Manchester United said: “Manchester United forward Jadon Sancho has rejoined former club Borussia Dortmund on loan until the end of the season.

“The 23-year-old spent four seasons with the Bundesliga team from 2017, registering 50 goals and 64 assists, before completing a transfer to Old Trafford in the summer of 2021. 

“Sancho has made 82 Reds appearances so far, scoring 12 goals across all competitions and winning the Carabao Cup in 2023.

“Sancho will now return to Germany on a temporary basis as Borussia Dortmund prepare to resume their Bundesliga campaign after a winter break. 

“The England international of 23 caps leaves with our best wishes for the remainder of this season.”

Dortmund will pay a £3 million loan fee rising to £7.4 million for the player’s services during the six-month loan, with them and Manchester United splitting the payment of his wages.
