Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund have reached an agreement over the loan of Jadon Sancho, who will join the Bundesliga club for the remainder of the season. The agreement includes a €4 million (£3.4 million) loan fee to Manchester United, as well as a partial payment of Sancho's salary. However, Borussia Dortmund did not have the option to buy the player. Sancho enjoyed a successful period at Borussia Dortmund between 2017 and 2021, which prompted United to initially buy him for £73 million.
However, his time at Old Trafford has been disappointing, with him not playing for the team for more than four months. The winger has been left out of the squad for the match against Arsenal for refusing to apologise to manager Erik ten Hag. Ten Hag cited Jadon Sancho's failure to meet training standards as the reason for his omission. After this, the England international took issue with the explanation provided by his manager on social **.
In addition to Sancho's loan deal, Borussia Dortmund have also managed to sign Chelsea left-back Ian Matsson on loan. Matssen has successfully passed his medical and Dortmund will have the right of first refusal to buy him. Chelsea have agreed to extend Matzsen's contract until 2027 and include a release clause in the agreement. Overall, the loan move offers Sancho the chance to reinvigorate his career and regain form at his former club, while Borussia Dortmund bolster the squad by bringing in Matsson.
