Jadon Sancho ‘reluctant’ to give up on Man Utd and willing to stay after Borussia Dortmund loan on one key condition

Currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund, Sancho has done well in his six-month spell with the German club, prompting Dortmund to express a desire to sign him permanently. However, the financial obstacles, particularly Manchester United’s high asking price of over £50 million ($64m), make this a challenging proposition for the Bundesliga giants.

According to The Mirror,Sancho is open to a return to United but only if Erik ten Hag departs Old Trafford. The winger fell out with the manager following his "scapegoat" comments on social media, which led to his exile from the senior team. Moreover, Sancho’s refusal to back down or apologise further exacerbated the situation and he was ultimately shipped out on loan to Germany.

Ten Hag’s future at United is currently under scrutiny, with the club conducting an in-depth review of the season before deciding on his fate. The speculation surrounding his position has opened the door for potential replacements, with former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, Brentford’s Thomas Frank, and Mauricio Pochettino among the names being considered. This uncertainty presents a glimmer of hope for Sancho, who still harbours ambitions of making a significant impact at Old Trafford.

Sancho could also potentially stay back at Dortmund if another loan deal is agreed to between the two clubs. The upcoming weeks will be crucial in determining the direction the club takes. Whether United opt for managerial continuity or decide to make a change at the helm will significantly influence Sancho’s next steps.
