The potential of moving Jadon Sancho to Borussia Dortmund on loan till the conclusion of the 2023–2024 season is still being discussed by Manchester United and the German team, according to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, who exclusively gives GIVEMESPORT the most recent inside information from Old Trafford.

After a public rift between the two in September 2023, Erik ten Hag will be eager to see the winger go from his Red Devils team.

After a turbulent first half of the season, Man Utd may be looking to the 2024 winter transfer window to help resolve some of their problems before the later parts of the campaign. Sancho, who established his reputation in European football at Dortmund, may be itching to return after being dissatisfied with the direction his career in Manchester has taken.

Ten Hag and Sancho’s falling out at Man United
After paying £73 million to get Sancho’s talents, Manchester United was thrilled to have him sign with them from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2021. The winger left his mark throughout many successful seasons at Dortmund, making 137 games and scoring 50 goals for the Bundesliga’s top team.

But neither Sancho nor the 20-time English champions had anticipated how their tenure at Old Trafford would proceed. His transfer has generated discussion among fans and commentators alike because he has only scored nine Premier League goals in 58 appearances, which hasn’t been excellent value for money.

In September 2023, after Manchester United lost 3-1 to Arsenal, ten Hag was questioned about why Sancho had not been included in the matchday squad that went to the capital. The wide player didn’t do well in training that week, so the Dutchman hinted that he wasn’t available.

In a since-deleted post on X, Sancho would respond, saying he “won’t allow” people to say things he doesn’t think are real and that he felt like a scapegoat for a while. Unsurprisingly, for the last four months, the former England international has not been included in the first team lineup and is close to leaving Old Trafford.

Romano stated on January 8 that Dortmund is getting more and more optimistic about getting Sancho back, and the winger is prepared to go as soon as he gets the get-ahead. Hans-Joachim Watzke, the CEO of the German company, has further verified (via Romano) that his team is in talks to bring the 23-year-old back to Signal Iduna Park:

“We are definitely in talks to sign Jadon Sancho. We would like to loan him money. It is not a secret. However, we are not yet prepared to declare a transaction completed.

On January 8, Romano previously revealed to GIVEMESPORT that Man Utd and Sancho are “discussing the final details” of a possible Sancho transfer to Dortmund.

Fabrizio Romano: “Very positive” chat between Man Utd and Dortmund
Romano has declared that talks between Man Utd and Dortmund over a transfer that would see Sancho go on loan out of Old Trafford are “very positive.” The transfer specialist suggests that there will be extensive discussion on crucial elements including the loan cost and wage covering. According to Romano, GIVEMESPORT

This week has great significance for Sancho’s transfer to Dortmund. I have heard that Man Utd and Borussia Dortmund are still talking. It’s a really constructive dialogue. It’s not a tiny player or a young player when this kind of large player takes out a loan; in this situation, the loan amount and the salary coverage are always up for debate. There are crucial aspects that need to be clarified between the two clubs, such as taxes.

Amadou Onana transfer update from Man Utd
Ten Hag is hoping Man Utd can make some progress in the upcoming weeks of the winter window before the market closes on February 1st. The Red Devils are interested in acquiring Everton midfielder Amadou Onana, according to Football Transfers.

During the summer transfer window of 2023, Man Utd reportedly desired to sign the Belgium international above Sofyan Amrabat of Fiorentina, but financial constraints prevented them from doing so. According to reports, Everton is also interested in acquiring Scott McTominay, a midfielder for United, suggesting that a transaction between the two players may be imminent as the Old Trafford team looks to stay in compliance with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations.

In an attempt to get revenge for their 2-0 loss in north London in August 2023, Manchester United will face Tottenham Hotspur when they return to Premier League play on January 14. Ten Hag will then take his team to Eastleigh or Newport County for the FA Cup Fourth Round match, which is scheduled for the weekend of January 27.
