Jadon Sancho marked his return to Borussia Dortmund with an assist and says his aim is «to be happy again» following his loan move from Manchester United.
Sancho came off the bench in the second half of Saturday's 3-0 Bundesliga win over Darmstadt to set up Marco Reus for Dortmund's second goal (77) just two days after ending his Old Trafford exile.
The 23-year-old had previously left Dortmund for United in the summer of 2021 but has made just three appearances for Erik ten Hag's side this season after becoming embroiled in a row with the Dutchman.

Despite a lack of game time, Sancho looked right at home on his first competitive appearance since August 2023 as Dortmund earned their first win in five league games following a three-week winter break.
His assist helped Dortmund take a 2-0 lead following Julian Brandt's first-half opener (24) and the visitors added a third in stoppage time through Youssoufa Moukoko (90+2).
Speaking after the match, Sancho said he is hoping his return to Germany will help him rediscover his love for football.
