Manchester United's Jadon Sancho 'wants January move to Borussia Dortmund'

Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho is reportedly keen on a January return to Borussia Dortmund.

Sancho has been exiled from the Man United first team following a public falling-out with manager Erik ten Hag.

The Man United boss dropped Sancho from the squad for September's defeat to Arsenal due to his poor performances in training, before the player hit back via social media to say that he has "been a scapegoat for a long time".

Although Sancho has since deleted the social media post, he has allegedly stopped short of offering an apology to Ten Hag.

As a result, the Englishman has been told to stay away from the first-team facilities at the club's Carrington training base.

Ten Hag has no intention of backing down in the dispute, while Sancho remains reluctant to offer an apology despite being urged to do so by his teammates.

With the situation at a stalemate, a recent report claimed that Sancho is expected to leave the Red Devils in the January transfer window.

According to 90min, Sancho is hoping to complete a move back to Dortmund, where he spent four years before joining Man United in 2021.

The report claims that a number of German clubs are showing an interest, but Sancho is prioritising a return to Dortmund.

Dortmund are also believed to be keen on the move, and there is a possibility that a deal could be struck before the January transfer window if Sancho's situation at Man United fails to improve.

During his time with the German club, Sancho scored 50 goals and provided 64 assists in 137 appearances across all competitions.

Man United would want to recoup a significant part of the £73m that they paid Dortmund to sign Sancho, but agreeing a high-value transfer in the winter window appears to be unlikely.

As a result, there is a belief that the two clubs could reach an agreement over a loan move, which may include an obligation to buy.
