The Red Devils decided to drop the England international winger early in the 2023-24 season due to concerns about his attitude and commitment, raised by manager Erik ten Hag. From mid-September onwards, reports indicated that Sancho had been excluded from Manchester United’s senior squad and was using the club’s academy facilities.

It soon became evident that the 23-year-old forward needed a January transfer to revitalize his career, and his former club, Dortmund, welcomed him back. A deal has been arranged, extending until the end of the season, without an option for a permanent transfer.

Sancho aims to reignite his career by returning to Germany, expressing his excitement for being back on the training field. He is eager to demonstrate his fitness quickly, sending a message of “good to be back on the pitch” following his widely publicized struggles at Old Trafford.

Having previously excelled at Dortmund with 50 goals and 64 assists in 137 appearances, Sancho, signed by United for £75 million ($96 million) in 2021, believes he still has time to fully unleash the potential that convinced the club to make such a significant investment.
