Sancho did not feel he was treated in the way he needed to be treated. Jadon Sancho, who used to play for Manchester United, had his confidence affected by the manager there, according to Spanish football writer Guillem Balague. He had a public dispute with United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, which led to him being excluded from the squad after he refused to apologize for a social media post. Sancho returned to Borussia Dortmund on loan in January.
Sancho had difficulty performing consistently well for Manchester United since his £73m move in 2021. Dortmund is interested in keeping the 23-year-old at the club next season.
Balague mentioned on the Euro Leagues podcast that Dortmund might not want to buy Sancho at the price United may ask for, which is around £40m. Instead, they might prefer a longer loan deal where they pay most of his wages.
Balague also noted that Sancho’s confidence had been affected by his time at United. It wasn’t just about his actions, like being late or reacting poorly, but also about how he felt he was treated. Sancho feels he is treated better at Borussia Dortmund.
Now, Sancho is gradually starting to show the form he is known for. Balague believes Sancho must have learned a lot from his experiences since August, and he hopes Sancho continues to learn from them.
