Jadon Sancho’s return to Borussia Dortmund has not gone as planned, with the Manchester United loanee enduring a dismal performance in Dortmund’s 3-2 loss to Hoffenheim. Despite high hopes for Sancho’s return to form, the winger remains goalless and has failed to replicate his early success, managing only two assists in his first two games back.

German outlet Der Westen did not mince words, labeling Sancho as the “worst” player in the game against Hoffenheim. They highlighted the disappointment among fans, who had hoped for Sancho to score his first goal since returning to Dortmund. However, Sancho’s performance left much to be desired, with the 23-year-old failing to register a shot on target or successfully deliver crosses to his teammates.

Sancho’s loan return to Dortmund came after a falling out with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag. Despite his past success with Dortmund, it appears increasingly unlikely that the club will seek to make Sancho’s loan permanent, as indicated by sporting director Sebastian Kehl’s comments to Sky Sports Germany.
