He England international was frozen out of the first team and forced to train on his own by the Manchester club after publicly criticising Ten Hag on social media, an act for which he has refused to apologise.

Sancho to Dortmund loan deal details

Sancho, who is under contract at Old Trafford until June 2026, will now re-join Dortmund on a six-month loan deal until the end of the season, with the Bundesliga side paying a fee of €4 million ($4.3 million) and covering a percentage of his wages. The deal doesn’t, however, include an option to buy in the summer, but United could be tempted to sell the player anyway given his frosty relationship with Ten Hag.
