Jadon Sancho is reportedly willing to return to Manchester United on the condition Erik ten Hag is no longer at the club.
The Englishman has enjoyed a successful second stint back at Borussia Dortmund and played an integral part in his side’s run to the Champions League final.
He couldn’t make much of a mark on the actual final itself but certainly did his reputation in the game no harm at all after his loan spell back in the Bundesliga.
Sancho was originally left out of the United squad by Ten Hag back in September and the coach later explained this was due to his attitude in training.
The 24 year old took exception to this and posted his defence on social media, which naturally did not go down well with his manager.
It has recently been revealed by United coach Benni McCarthy that Sancho refused to apologise as it questioned his professionalism and he could not stand for that.
Dortmund would clearly be happy to keep the English winger permanently or on loan but it has been reported recently that United will not offer any sort of discount for the Champions League finalist and will demand £55 million for his services, a figure beyond the Bundesliga side’s financial reach.
It had also been thought that Sancho did not want to return to Manchester as he feels at home in Dortmund but The Mirror contradict this school of thought.
“Jadon Sancho is ready to go back to Manchester United – but only if Erik ten Hag leaves this summer,” the outlet claims.
“England international Sancho, 24, is reluctant to give up on his United career and still has an ambition to make it work at Old Trafford. But there is also a realisation that Sancho will not have a future under current boss Ten Hag.”
However, the Dutchman’s future hangs in the balance as INEOS continue to carry out their internal review.
“Sancho still harbours ambitions of playing at the very highest level and his performances in helping Dortmund reach the Champions League final have only served to underline his talent. That is why Sancho is reluctant to give up on United even though he is wanted at Dortmund and adored by their fans.”
Therefore, when INEOS do eventually tell the world what they intend to do with Erik ten Hag, the Sancho situation should be that much clearer in what promises to be a summer of immense change at Old Trafford.
