Jadon Sancho, the 23-year-old English winger, will join and has finally secured a six-month loan transfer to his former Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund following a disappointing two-year spell at Manchester United.
In his two years with Manchester United, Sancho had a terrible time, unable to score goals and missing a significant amount of time due to injury. He has played 58 games in his two years at United, but he has only scored nine goals.

His spell at United was made even more difficult by a disagreement with club manager Erik ten Hag, who claimed that Sancho was not doing well in training, resulting in his removal from the team that faced Arsenal in September 2023.
Following these statements, the player took to social media to deny the manager’s claims, stating that he was being used as a “scapegoat” for the club’s poor results. Sancho has not played for United since the incident in September, even after United took disciplinary actions against him.
The transfer comes at a perfect time for the English player, as it will provide him with the playing time he has been lacking at United.
