Manchester United are looking to offload their out-of-favour stars after an underwhelming 2024-25 campaign.
According to The Athletic, Borussia Dortmund have expressed their interest in Jadon Sancho through the player’s representatives.
The Bundesliga club are in the process of rebuilding their attack and see Sancho as a potential No 10 option, behind Serhou Guirassy.
United signed Sancho from Dortmund in a deal worth £73 million in 2021.
His transfer materialised after two years of speculation and negotiations.
Sancho was regarded as a generational talent after his magnificent displays in Bundesliga.
He was considered a solution to United’s long-standing problem of not having a quality right winger.
His struggles were evident in his debut Old Trafford campaign where he netted merely five goals and provided three assists.
His public outburst against Erik ten Hag forced United to send him back to Dortmund on loan in January 2024.
He spent the 2024-25 campaign with Chelsea but failed to reignite his career.
The London outfit decided to terminate the buy clause in the loan deal after a disagreement with Sancho over his wages.
United are expected to receive £5m penalty fee but face the headache of finding a new suitor for the Englishman.
He took a jibe at the club when he dropped a “freedom” message on Marcus Rashford’s instagram after his departure to Aston Villa.
A move back to Dortmund could be the last hope for the attacker to reset his downward trajectory.
His best days came with the German giants and moving back to a familiar environment could prove fruitful.
The Red Devils have to ensure that they permanently offload Sancho rather than loaning him out.
They cannot keep paying a portion of the wages for a player who will never have a future at the club.
