Manchester United flop Jadon Sancho is not a topic at Borussia Dortmund, despite the rumour mill ‘churning’.
[That’s according to Sport 1 reporter](https://www.sport1.de/news/fussball/bundesliga/2025/11/sancho-vor-bvb-ruckkehr-die-geruchtekuche-brodelt) Oliver Müller, who has poured cold water all over the idea today.
Sport 1 explain that Sancho has found himself being linked with a return to his former club once again. He’s currently on loan at Aston Villa from Manchester United.
But the rumours are swirling about a move to Dortmund. And that is causing their fans to ‘gasp for breath’. He’s still considered the ‘prodigal son’ at the German club. Thus, Müller has been forced to discuss the matter on Sport 1’s podcast ‘The Dortmund Week’.
Manchester United transfer rubbished
------------------------------------
“It’s like Groundhog Day every six months,” explained journalist Manfred Sedlbauer.
“Shortly before every transfer window, it’s become customary in Dortmund to discuss Jadon Sancho.”
Müller then refers to the speculation as a “running gag”. The pair then point out that as of right now, the Englishman is ‘not at all a topic of discussion’ at Borussia Dortmund. That’s despite his less than happy situation at Manchester United and Aston Villa.
Reports this week have suggested he could leave Manchester United on a free transfer next summer. It is that which has sparked the Borussia Dortmund rumours.
Dortmund fans are certainly he’d be a good addition and solve the lack of creativity in the current side. There is also a constant belief Sancho would like to return to his former club.
But Müller is not giving it the time of the day. In fact, he wants to pour cold water, and lots of it, all over the idea.
“He’s no longer a hot commodity on the transfer market,” he added.
“It’s true that some fans long for it. But it’s not a realistic scenario. The fans always hope that the sight of Phoenix Lake will ease his tension. But that’s nothing more than a fairytale.”
