Thankfully for the Manchester United outcast Jadon Sancho, the Old Trafford club and Borussia Dortmund have reached an outline agreement for the loan of\u00a0the winger\u00a0until the end of the season.<\/p>\n
There is a willingness shown on both sides to get a deal done, albeit with both sides agreeing there are important details still to be resolved.<\/p>\n
Dortmund are hopeful to have Sancho at their warm weather training camp in Marbella next week although there is no guarantee the loan will be finalized this weekend in a deal that will reportedly cost the Bundesliga side around \u00a32,6million and, since Thursday, only tax details were left to be sorted, rding to German newspaper Bild.<\/p>\n
Sancho had exited Dortmund to join Manchester United for \u00a373million in 2021 but has not made an appearance since August after having been exiled from Dutchman Erik ten Hag\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n
The winger\u2019s aggregate of twelve goals in 82 games seems to be a rather modest return on investment for the princely sum United had doled out for his services but he had most promisingly shown his prodigious talents and abilities while enjoying a prolific four seasons at Dortmund, scoring 50 goals in 137 games.<\/p>\n
Goal-scoring machine and former teammate Erling Haaland hailded Sancho as a \u2018proper baller\u2019, as a testament of the high regard in which he is held by those familiar with him at Dortmund.<\/p>\n
It will be an interesting test for Sancho to be returning to regular top-level football, especially since he has not even trained with the United first team since September.<\/p>\n
However, reports had emerged that he was training \u2018like a beast\u2019 in December with suggestions that some of his comrades at United wanted to see him reinstated into Ten Hag’s set-up.<\/p>\n
