85 million euros. This is the amount Manchester United paid to acquire the services of Jadon Sancho two years ago. Today, after two seasons, we can say it: the winger’s return to England is not a real success. He is clearly struggling to repeat what we saw with Borussia Dortmund, and across the Channel, many consider him a flop.
In addition to fairly poor performances, there would be problems in the locker room. The English press reports that he alienated his teammates following his not always correct behavior. He is at war with coach Erik ten Hag, and in this conflict from which the two parties do not even hide, the Red Devils players are on the side of the Dutch tactician.
Back home ?
Suffice to say that the management of Manchester United wants to get rid of him as quickly as possible. There had been talk of a departure to Saudi Arabia, but there was ultimately no agreement. According to The Sun, there is already a club that wants to enlist him for the winter market. And this club is his former home, Borussia Dortmund.
The Germans, who started their season with a victory and two draws in the Bundesliga, wish to repatriate their former player in January if Sancho’s situation has not changed. It should be a loan offer, with a good part of the player’s salary which would still be covered by the Mancuniens. A solution that could, temporarily at least, satisfy all three parties…
