Jadon Sancho has made somewhat of a mockery of “finished” allegations during his time on loan at Borussia Dortmund.
However, the decision to loan him cannot be questioned with the benefit of hindsight since he never produced such displays at Old Trafford.
His fallout with Erik ten Hag, which ultimately led to his departure, has some thinking of a possible scenario where Sancho still has a future at the club.
The manager is under pressure and there is a chance he won’t be at the club next summer, paving the way for Sancho to return under new leadership after a world-class loan spell.
So much for those narratives…
Sky Sports’ German football expert Patrick Berger reports that Jadon Sancho doesn’t want to return to United in any circumstances.
This means that Ten Hag’s future at the club has no bearing on his decision, as he has made his mind up about leaving the club.
🚨 Jadon Sancho (24/🏴) does not want to return to Manchester United – regardless of whether Erik ten Hag remains in charge or not, sources telling. #MUFC preparing for his departure. But no price tag set yet by @ManUtd. 🔴
Jadon is happy to be with #BVB and wants to stay.…

Berger states that Sancho has found a home back in Dortmund, where he first ascended to stardom, and will look to continue there.
However, Dortmund’s finances will make it difficult for them to engineer a permanent deal, even though recent events have made it more likely.
If a deal can’t be struck, Dortmund will try to negotiate another loan deal with an obligation to buy this time.
Therefore, Sancho will be a Dortmund player in the summer of 2025 instead but how that would benefit United is questionable.
The club needs money this summer to strengthen their squad amid financial distress and a reinvigorated Sancho is an unexpected asset to cash in.
So it remains likely that United force Dortmund to cough up the cash or re-route Sancho elsewhere to a club that is willing to pay for a permanent deal in the summer.
There will be no comeback at Old Trafford.
