It has been reported that Dortmund is eager to secure Jadon Sancho's services on a permanent basis. This news has caught the attention of Italy's legendary player, Alessandro Del Piero, who believes that it is Sancho's destiny to return to Manchester United.
Sancho recently reminded everyone of his exceptional talent with a stellar performance in Dortmund's 1-0 victory against Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals. This was a timely display, especially since Sancho did not have a single minute of Champions League action with United this season. In fact, Sancho had a fallout with United's coach, Erik ten Hag, which resulted in him being excluded from the squad back in September.
The reason for their disagreement was Sancho's refusal to apologize to ten Hag for being blamed as the 'scapegoat' for United's poor performance. While Dortmund is keen on keeping Sancho, there is uncertainty surrounding ten Hag's position at Old Trafford. If he were to be sacked, it would open up the possibility of Sancho returning to the club.
However, Sancho still has three years remaining on his contract with United. Del Piero believes that it is Sancho's destiny to return to the Theatre of Dreams. In an interview with CBS Sports, he expressed, "When a player of his caliber can deliver such outstanding performances, it is only natural for him to want to join Manchester United. Perhaps it may happen next year, or maybe even another year, depending on the coach and other factors. But a player like Sancho needs to play at the top level every year."
He further added, "Dortmund deserves to be where they are, and they may even go on to win the Champions League. However, for a club like Manchester United, it is expected to compete at this level every year. This is the destiny of both United and Sancho, and I truly hope he can showcase his talents at his former club with the same confidence and skill he displayed tonight."
Del Piero was in awe of Sancho's performance against PSG, stating, "Tonight, he was unbelievable. He was dribbling past everyone with ease." With such high praise from a football legend, it is clear that Sancho has a bright future ahead of him. As for United, only time will tell if they will be able to bring back their talented winger to the club.
