Sancho 'will not return to Man United unless Erik ten Hag is sacked'

Jadon Sancho has no intention of returning to Manchester United unless manager Erik ten Hag is fired, according to a new report.

Sancho is currently on loan at his former club Borussia Dortmund, after his big bust up with the Dutch manager, and he has no intention of returning to Man United at present.

He was purchased for £73m in 2021, but if ten Hag remains on the touchline for the 2024-25 season, then 23-year-old Sancho might be open to moving back to Dortmund permanently, with his future in England looking limited.

The Sun report that Manchester United may accept a £35m offer from Dortmund for Sancho's permanent services, leaving the Red Devils to accept a £40m markdown for the star.

However, it might be a challenge for Man United to even get that kind of offer, with Sancho and ten Hag not seeing eye to eye, after the player effectively called the boss a liar for claims he had not performed well in training.

The 23-year-old refused to apologise for his actions, which has caused additional tension with the manager.

There is a slight chance that Sancho might be coming back to Old Trafford if the Dutchman is sacked after an underwhelming season, but it is more likely the club would look to sell and boost their balance as they turn to alternative options.

Man United's new part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has refused to publicly back ten Hag to remain in charge of the team next season, and they are closely watching how their loanee does in the German top flight.

Sancho has recovered some of his form in a Dortmund shirt, putting in a man-of-the-match performance during their Champions League success against PSV Eindhoven.

Sancho was given a standing ovation by home supporters at the Signal Iduna Park after being taken off in the 75th
