Jadon Sancho Escapes Manchester United Exile To Rejoin Borussia Dortmund On Loan

Jadon Sancho rejoined Borussia Dortmund on loan for the rest of the season on Thursday, less than three years since Manchester United paid 73 million pounds ($93 million, 85 million euros) for the England winger. Sancho had been frozen out at United for most of the season after becoming involved in a public spat with manager Erik ten Hag. The 23-year-old posted on social media in September that he had been made a "scapegoat" at the club for poor performances after being left out of the matchday squad for a 3-1 defeat at Arsenal.

Sancho has not played a minute for the Red Devils since and been forced to train away from the first team.

Even prior to the breakdown of his relationship with the former Ajax boss, Sancho never lived up to his price tag at Old Trafford.

He scored just 12 times in 82 appearances and struggled to hold down a regular first-team place under both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ten Hag.

But he will hope a return to the club where he made his name as one of Europe's rising stars can rejuvenate his career.

"Jadon is an absolute difference maker and I'm looking forward to seeing him back in black and yellow soon," said Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl.

"He knows this city, the stadium, our fans and our club. Even though he hasn't played any competitive games in the past few months, we are sure that he will quickly settle back in with us, get into top form and use his qualities to help us achieve our goals for the season."

German media reports the deal will cost Dortmund roughly four million euros and that Sancho has agreed to take a significant cut to his reported wage of 300,000 pounds a week.
