Reports from Germany suggest that Jadon Sancho is inclined to decline a potential return to Manchester United in favor of playing under Erik ten Hag. The England international is currently bound by a contract with United until 2023, thus the pivotal decision regarding his future lies primarily with the club and its managerial staff.
In an optimal scenario, Sancho would excel in the Bundesliga, prompting a flurry of offers for the 23-year-old from various clubs this summer. However, this may not be the case. Sancho recently marked his first goal since returning to Borussia Dortmund in a match against Werder Bremen over the weekend.
Despite the financial disparity between Dortmund and United, Dortmund’s sporting director, Sebastian Kehl, is purportedly committed to securing Sancho’s services until at least 2025. This commitment may necessitate Sancho to accept a reduction in his salary.
German publication BILD reports that Dortmund is devising a clandestine strategy, potentially involving loaning out Sancho for another season. Allegedly, Sancho harbors reservations about reuniting with United’s coach, Ten Hag, whom he holds accountable for his career regression.
Sancho’s reluctance to assume accountability for his performance may raise concerns within the club. It prompts contemplation on the implications if footballers responded negatively to constructive criticism from their managers via social media or other means.
