Talented winger Jadon Sancho will be returning for the upcoming campaign with Manchester United. Sancho would have a falling out with Ten Hag in 2023. Subsequently, Borussia Dortmund would capitalize on the situation by signing the 24-year old on loan.
Sancho was unable to bring his A-game at the Theatre of Dreams. He was subpar throughout his stint at the Old Trafford. However, upon his return to Dortmund, the 24-year old would return back to his best. Sancho would put incredible performances and impress everyone with his dribbling yet again. The winger would show everyone just what he is capable of. Sancho would propel Dortmund to the Champions League final against Real Madrid. Unfortunately, the Bundesliga side would end up on the wrong end of the results.
Followingly, Dortmund wanted to make Sancho deal permanent. Although they would eventually fail to materialize a deal for him. Consequently, the 24-year old has returned to Carrington to continue training with the Red Devils.
It seems that Ten Hag and Sancho have managed to resolve their issues and work past them. Sancho is still young and could become a fan favorite soon if he continues his good run of form at the Theatre of Dreams!
