According to Mirror, Jadon Sancho might be on the verge of leaving Manchester United, with Borussia Dortmund currently in talks about his potential return. Having been sidelined at Old Trafford, he could be heading back to the Bundesliga, where he initially gained prominence. Negotiations for a loan deal are in progress, and there’s increasing confidence that an agreement will be reached.
Sancho’s Struggles At Manchester United
Sancho faced ups and downs during his time at Manchester United last season, showcasing both moments of brilliance and inconsistency, particularly in his attacking contributions. Across 41 appearances, he secured seven goals and three assists in various competitions.
His attacking prowess was evident, averaging 0.8 shots, 1.7 key passes, and 1.3 successful dribbles per 90 minutes in Premier League games. Moreover, his passing accuracy stood at 85% in the opponent’s half in the Premier League, highlighting his distribution skills (statistics from Whoscored).
However, this season, the former Borussia Dortmund player has encountered difficulties finding his form, leading to speculations about an exit from Old Trafford, especially after his clash with Erik ten Hag.
Will Ten Hag Push For A Permanent Deal?
Sancho’s arrival at United generated much excitement and anticipation initially. However, his performances have been erratic, showcasing occasional brilliance overshadowed by prolonged periods of underwhelming displays.
The current season presents a stark contrast. Sancho has struggled to mirror his past form, finding it tough to make a notable impact on the field. His reported fallout with manager Erik ten Hag adds complexity, sparking concerns about his integration into the team and future role at the club.
Given his recent lack of impact, the board might consider including a permanent deal as an option while arranging a loan move with Borussia Dortmund for the rest of the season. Even if a permanent move doesn’t materialize immediately, it seems evident that ten Hag doesn’t have long-term plans for him, potentially leading to a permanent exit by the end of this season.
