Jadon Sancho is ready to return to Old Trafford, but only if Erik ten Hag steps down as manager. Sancho had a very successful period at Borussia Dortmund, in the second half of the season we left behind. The German club wants to sign a permanent contract with the Englishman, but it will not be easy at all.
The first obstacle is the cost of the attacker's services. Sancho's card is expected to cost Dortmund, or any club that wants the player's services, at least 50 million pounds. The next obstacle in Dortmund's way to secure Sancho is the player's own desire. The Englishman is looking to revive his career at Old Trafford, despite the fact that under the current manager, he does not have that opportunity.
The 24-year-old had a debate with Erik ten Hag over a post on his social networks where he was critical of the coach's decisions. Sancho refused to apologize or delete the post and this led to his departure from Old Trafford on loan to Dortmund. The Dutch technician was satisfied with Sancho's good performances at Borussia, stating that these performances will keep the value of his card high. The comment was further proof that Ten Hag will not back down regarding Sancho's fate while he is in charge of the bench.
Meanwhile, the fate of the Dutch coach is still unclear, as it seems that United's board of directors is divided regarding Ten Hag. In case he is sacked, the most mentioned names to replace him have been: Thomas Tuchel, Brentford coach Thomas Frank as well as former Chelsea, Tottenham and PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino.
