Sancho confirms transfer with a 'Like' hinting at Dortmund return

Jadon Sancho's latest social media maneuver has set the football world abuzz, seemingly confirming the rumors of his return to Borussia Dortmund on a loan deal from Manchester United.

The buzz started when Sancho 'liked' transfer guru Fabrizio Romano's post on X, indicating the near-finalization of a €4 million (£3.5m/$4m) loan deal. This move doesn't include an option to buy, but it's a clear hint that Sancho's return to the Bundesliga is more than just idle chatter.

Sancho's Quest for Redemption at Dortmund

After a challenging stint at Manchester United, Sancho, 23, looks set to revitalize his career at his old stomping ground in Dortmund. His time at United was marred by limited playtime - just three appearances this season under Erik ten Hag - and internal strife. Sancho's clash with Ten Hag in August, following criticism of his training conduct, led to his removal from the senior team. The winger didn't mince words, claiming to be a "scapegoat" at Old Trafford, and reports suggest the rift with Ten Hag is irreparable.

Sancho's first tenure at Dortmund, following his move from Manchester City's youth academy in 2017, was nothing short of phenomenal. He became a sensation in Germany, boasting an impressive tally of 38 goals and 45 assists in 104 Bundesliga matches. This outstanding performance caught Manchester United's eye, leading to his high-profile transfer in 2021.

Now, with his return to Dortmund imminent, Sancho is poised to rejoin his former teammates and possibly participate in the upcoming Bundesliga match against Darmstadt, should the deal be finalized in time.
