During his first match back at Dortmund, Jadon Sancho made an impressive assist that helped his team secure a 3-0 win against Darmstadt. After his much talked-about departure from Manchester United, the star player has returned to the German giants on a six-month loan, and his comeback was met with mixed reactions.
Unfortunately, not all fans were happy to see Sancho back in Dortmund's jersey. One particular fan even went as far as shouting 'Sancho! Erik ten Hag wants to talk to you. You're a lazy f*****' at the player during the match. This is a reference to the public feud between Sancho and his former manager, Ten Hag, which led to the player's exclusion from the squad.
The whole controversy started when Ten Hag publicly criticized Sancho's performance levels in training, causing a rift between the two. Sancho, feeling unfairly targeted, hit back at his manager in a now-deleted social media post, calling the claims 'untrue' and claiming to be a 'scapegoat'.
This ultimately led to Sancho's return to Dortmund, a move that he seems to be happy about. In an interview after the match, the player expressed his joy at being back with his former team and his friend, Marco Reus. "I just feel like it was meant to be," Sancho said. "Me coming back, seeing Marco again, he is a great friend of mine and I appreciate him. I am happy to set up his goal today."
Sancho's assist was not the only news surrounding him. Reports have emerged that Manchester United has offered a winger in exchange for a £69 million star who has been mentored by Christian Eriksen. In addition, former player Kieron Dyer has accused Chelsea star of causing Sancho to 'quit on his teammates'. However, it seems that Arsenal is also interested in the young player, considering him as an alternative to Ivan Toney.
Meanwhile, Dortmund's chief has appeared to hit out at Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag, over his claims about Sancho's performance. And former United player, Louis Saha, has even gone as far as calling Sancho 'one of Manchester United's biggest transfer failures'.
Despite all the drama surrounding his time at Manchester United, Sancho seems to have found his place back at Dortmund. He has already made a positive impact on the pitch and is happy to be playing alongside his old friends once again. "Since I came back, I have felt at home," Sancho said. "I am just happy to be back on the pitch again."
