Jadon Sancho loan agreement between Man United and Dortmund close to being confirmed

The agreement for Jadon Sancho to complete a return to Borussia Dortmund on loan is close to being confirmed, talkSPORT understands.

Sancho's Manchester United nightmare is on the verge of being brought to an end, albeit for a temporary period, with the 23-year-old set to return to Germany on loan until the end of the season.

The England forward has made just three appearances this season having banished from the first team since a social media attack on manager Erik ten Hag in September.

His outburst was in response to Ten Hag suggesting that he played no part in Man United's defeat to Arsenal due to his performance level in training not being good enough.

The player said he was being made a scapegoat by the Dutchman and refused to apologise, leading to him being banished from the first team.

He took over two months away from football last season, with issues surrounding his mental health being cited.

Sancho rose to prominence with Dortmund after joining them from City in the summer of 2017.
