Borussia Dortmund 'not considering Jadon Sancho return'

Borussia Dortmund reportedly have no interest in re-signing Jadon Sancho from Manchester United.

The 23-year-old's future at Old Trafford remains uncertain following his social media outburst towards Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag.

Sancho was left out of the Man United squad for the defeat at Arsenal before the international break, with Ten Hag explaining that the decision was made due to the winger's poor performances in training.

The Englishman later took to social media to criticise Ten Hag for his public comments, stating that he had been made "a scapegoat for a long time" and that the Dutchman's claims were "completely untrue".

Sancho has since been banished from training for his actions and Ten Hag allegedly wants the winger to apologise before he can be reintegrated into the first-team fold, although it is understood that the former Manchester City youngster is refusing to apologise.

Sancho will remain unavailable for selection until the matter is resolved, and Ten Hag recently admitted that he 'does not know' whether the winger will represent the club again.

Man United's No.25 was strongly linked with a move to Saudi Arabia towards the end of the summer transfer window, but a move ultimately failed to materialise.

Sancho still has three years remaining on his contract at Old Trafford, but speculation has emerged in recent weeks over a possible January departure from the club.

A recent report claims that La Liga champions Barcelona are considering a loan move for the winger in the winter window, but a permanent move is considered very difficult due to the Catalan club's financial troubles.

A possible return to Dortmund has also been mooted for Sancho, but Bild claims that the Bundesliga club are not currently considering a move for the Englishman.

At the age of just 17, Sancho decided to move abroad and joined Dortmund from Man City for around £8m in 2017, and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular with the German club.

Sancho scored 50 goals and provided 64 assists in 137 senior appearances for BVB across all competitions, contributing with 16 goals and 21 assists in 38 games in his final season at the club before joining Man United for around £75m in the summer of 2021.

However, Sancho has since failed to reach the heights expected at Old Trafford, scoring just 12 goals and registering six assists from 82 appearances across all tournaments.

Sancho, who is allegedly valued by Man United at around £65m, is also understood to have attracted interest from Nottingham Forest ahead of the January transfer window.
