Why Is Jadon Sancho’s Exit a Win-Win for Both Manchester United & Borussia Dortmund?

Looks like the time is up for Jadon Sancho at Manchester United. Following months of absence due to a public spat with boss Erik ten Hag, the England international is finally leaving Old Trafford, only to reportedly return to his former club, Borussia Dortmund. While it’s sad to see the player exit the club this way, a pundit has shed light on the brighter side, revealing ‘there’s no future for him at United‘.

A six-month loan deal until the end of the season has been agreed. Reportedly, the Bundesliga outfit will pay $3.2 million, with Sancho expected to join Dortmund’s winter training camp in Marbella in the coming week. This became a topic of discussion at ESPN newsrooms, where French journalist Julien Laurens was asked to present his thoughts. He said, “I think personally it’s an amazing deal from a Dortmund point of view because they’re only going to pay 3 million euros for the six months that Jadon Sancho is going to spend there, which includes wages.” 

Laurens insisted that Dortmund is paying ‘ridiculously low‘ for Sancho, who not only cost the Red Devils the transfer fee but the wages as well. However, the commentator claims that it’s understandable for United to pay his salary and see him play somewhere else. Laurens also expresses his confidence that if Sancho has ‘six good months‘ in Dortmund, then United can sell him for a better price as his ‘stock would have risen‘. 

He finally acknowledged that Dortmund’s current boss Eden Terzic will bring the best and already has a ‘good influence‘ on the winger, given that he coached him in 2021 as an interim manager. 

A clean slate for Jadon Sancho?

It’s only logical to think that there is a silver lining for Sancho’s exit from United and a surprising return to Dortmund. Throughout this season, the 23-year-old played just three Premier League games, all of which came due to a substitution, as he managed to play just 76 minutes. Hence, returning for a loan spell presents Sancho with a lot of opportunities. The winger will get a chance to prove himself and hit back at critics. Meanwhile, the Red Devils can move forward from their $92 million signing and start looking somewhere else. Likewise, Sancho’s departure means youngster Alejandro Garnacho can seamlessly fill the Dortmund-bound winger’s spot and can even cover for Rashford, Antony, and Facundo Pellistri’s sloppy form.

Youngster Amad Diallo is also back from his long-term injury but is reportedly eyeing the AFCON for Ivory Coast. Meanwhile, Dortmund is struggling in the Bundesliga as they occupy 5th place, with expectations to get past PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League round of 16 also looming. Furthermore, Sancho can also give Edin Terzic relief for the attacking options as Karim Adeyemi, Julien Duranville, and Sebastien Haller are sidelined due to injury. Overall, it’s a good move for both clubs as well as Sancho. The only thing that remains to be seen is whether these six months will turn him from zero to hero. Will it?
