Jadon Sancho breaks silence after sealing Man Utd loan exit

Jadon Sancho has revealed that walking back into Borussia Dortmund's dressing room «felt like coming home».

The 23-year-old endured a frustrating four months on the sidelines at Manchester United, having been ostracised from the first team by Erik ten Hag, and sealed a loan return to Dortmund on Thursday.

Sancho left BVB to join United in the summer of 2021 — the Red Devils agreed to pay up to £73m for his services — but he has failed to live up to expectations at Old Trafford. Signed primarily to become then-manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first choice right winger, he quickly found himself fighting Marcus Rashford for a place on the left — the role he'd been successfully playing at Dortmund.

Indeed, Sancho was twice named in the Bundesliga Team of the Season, with his contribution of 114 goals and assists in all competitions evidence of his importance to the Black and Yellow, and he was starting to become a prominent player for Gareth Southgate's England.

Sancho now has the opportunity to get his career back on track in familiar surroundings, and the winger revealed to Dortmund's club media channels exactly what returning to the club means to him.

«When I walked into the changing room today, it felt like 'coming home',» Sancho said.

«I know the club inside out, I've always been very close to the fans here and I've never lost contact with the people in charge. I can't wait to see my team-mates again, get out on the pitch, play football with a smile on my face, get assists, score goals and help the club qualify for the Champions League.»

Sancho has officially rejoined Borussia Dortmund on loan until the end of the season...

Will we see him perform to levels he reached previously in Germany?
