Jadon Sancho: If Jadon Sancho’s issues at Manchester United persist, Borussia Dortmund reportedly wants to give him a way out in January. Sancho and United are at odds after the player attacked manager Erik ten Hag. This was in a devastating social media post following the team’s loss to Arsenal. Sancho reacted fiercely, saying he was being used as a “scapegoat,”. This was used in retaliation to Ten Hag’s explanation that he had removed him from the team because he hadn’t met the necessary performance standards in practice.

Borussia Dortmund looking to sign Jadon Sancho on loan
Borussia Dortmund is eager to re-sign the star if United are prepared to consider offers, according to the Sun. His future at Old Trafford is seriously in question.
The 23-year-old made the £73 million switch from Germany to England two years ago. But his time at Old Trafford has been mainly disappointing. Sancho has struggled to play at the same level as he did at Dortmund, which has led to frustrations. He has also been benched by England as a result.
Dortmund sought to bring Sancho back to the club in January, but United quickly rejected their loan offer. If negotiations with Ten Hag don’t end the current dispute, Dortmund will try again. Club executives are keeping an eye on the issue. They are prepared to provide United a loan in exchange for them continuing to pay a substantial portion of his salary.
In 137 games for the Bundesliga’s powerhouses over four years in Germany, he scored 50 goals. But in 82 games for United thus far, he has only managed 12 goals. There is currently a time of reconciliation, and discussions are set to take place. This is going to happen before United’s match against Brighton in their first game back from the break.
Sancho’s defiant stance, which has drawn harsh criticism from many, has caused Man United stars to get ‘fed up’ with their teammate and support Ten Hag. Long-standing issues have been voiced about Sancho’s punctuality and temperament. The England team has already expressed worry about his conduct when playing for Manchester United.
Sancho’s feud with Ten Hag
Jadon Sancho’s manager attributed his exclusion from United’s travelling team for the 3-1 loss at the Emirates on “performances in training.”
Ten Hag said, “We did not select Jadon because of his performances in training. You have to reach a certain level every day at Manchester United and we can make choices in the front line. So for this game he was not selected.”
Jadon Sancho though is not one to sit back and hold his thoughts. The English winger quickly put out a statement against his Dutch coach.

Sancho’s statement
In his statement, Jadon Sancho said, ‘I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue, I have conducted myself in training very well this week. I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won’t go into, I’ve been a scapegoat for a long time which isn’t fair.’
He continued, ‘All I want to do is play football with a smile on my face and contribute to my team. I respect all decisions that are made by the coaching staff, I play with fantastic players and grateful to do so which I know every week is a challenge. I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what.’
Sancho’s social media post remains pinned to the top of his X profile. United stars have been unimpressed with the way the youngster has handled the situation.
This season, Sancho is competing for a spot on the wing alongside players like Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Alejandro Garnacho. He has appeared in each of United’s first three Premier League games, although only as a substitute. Ten Hag is not known to take well to clap-backs. This statement by Sancho might come to bite him back as well.
