Borussia Dortmund have opened talks with Manchester United regarding the return of Jadon Sancho, according to reports in Germany.

The 23-year-old winger hasn’t featured for United since August, when a public contradiction of manager Erik ten Hag led to him having to train away from his teammates. Even without this season’s issues, Sancho has struggled to impress since his £73million move to United in 2021, managing just 12 goals and six assists in 82 games in all competitions.

That’s a far cry from his form at Dortmund, where Sancho became one of football’s premier young talents, notching an incredible 50 goals and 58 assists in 137 matches. The outlet reports that Dortmund are asking for £25m for former Arsenal academy star Malen, who has dropped down the pecking order this season.

Ten Hag said Sancho wasn’t selected for the squad due to his performances in training not being at the level required. The England winger responded with a statement on social media, calling the comments ‘untrue’.
