Chelsea faced with difficult Jadon Sancho transfer dilemma with Borussia Dortmund return linked

Jadon Sancho's future at Manchester United continues to look bleak. The England international has not featured under Erik ten Hag since the second game of the season after his stand-off with the Red Devils boss.

Teams across the footballing world have begun to circle around the 23-year-old's situation at Old Trafford since his fall-out in Manchester. Sancho's time in the Premier League has, so far, been underwhelming since his blockbuster £73million move from Borussia Dortmund in 2021.

Just as it did at Manchester City, Sancho's frustrations over the lack of first team opportunities at United has resulted in his relationship with Ten Hag hitting an all time low. After being left out of the squad in the 3-1 loss to Arsenal, the United boss revealed that Sancho's performance in training was behind his exclusion.

«Jadon [Sancho] — performance in training so we didn’t select him,» said Ten Hag. «You have to reach a level everyday atManchester United and we can make choices in a fortnight and yeah, so for this game he wasn't selected.»

Sancho replied by issuing the following statement on his personal social media accounts: «Please don't believe everything you read! I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue, I have conducted myself in training very well this week. I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won't go into, I've been a scapegoat for a long time which isn't fair!

»All I want to do is play football with a smile on my face and contribute to my team. I respect all decisions that are made by the coaching staff, I play with fantastic players and grateful to do so which I know every week is a challenge. I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what!"
