Sancho returned to his former club on loan in January after a fallout with Ten Hag at Old Trafford. Despite a slow start, he has been reminding fans and pundits of his quality, especially after an impressive performance against Paris Saint-Germain. Dortmund’s official club account posted in support of Sancho, with an accompanying image of him in possession during the game. After the fallout with Ten Hag, Sancho was forced to train away from the first team and didn’t play any further minutes for Manchester United before going out on loan.
However, his recent performance against the French champions earned praise from ex-United icon Rio Ferdinand, who highlighted his return to form and praised his skills on the pitch. Sancho, who has won 23 international caps, has not featured for England since missing out on the 2022 World Cup squad in Qatar. His future could be influenced by the decision of Sir Jim Ratcliffe this summer, as it may depend on whether Ten Hag remains in position. Sancho is contracted with United until 2026, and a potential permanent return to Dortmund would involve considerations regarding wages and the financial implications for his parent club.
