After a turbulent start to the season, Jadon Sancho is now making headlines for all the right reasons. The young winger left Manchester United in January to rejoin his former club, Borussia Dortmund, and has since helped them secure a spot in the semi-finals of the Champions League. It's safe to say that he has proven a point to his former team.
Sancho's return to Germany hasn't been without its challenges. He has only managed to score two goals in 17 appearances, but his recent performances have been nothing short of impressive, especially in Europe. In the round of 16, he scored a crucial goal against PSV Eindhoven and played a key role in Dortmund's comeback against Atletico Madrid, securing their spot in the semi-finals.
Former United defender Rio Ferdinand was full of praise for Sancho's turnaround. Speaking on TNT Sports after the game, Ferdinand said, "We asked for Sancho to put in a performance, a lot to prove, and he's showing it. He's left Manchester United under a cloud, and now he's in a Champions League semi-final against PSG. Who could have written that script? He wouldn't have seen that coming."
Sancho's time at United was short-lived, as he only played three times before being exiled from the squad by manager Erik ten Hag. The young player was dropped from the squad for a game against Arsenal due to disappointing performances in training. Sancho responded by calling his manager a liar and claiming he had been made a scapegoat.
As a result, he was banned from all first-team facilities and ordered to train away from the squad. United tried to find a permanent move for him in January, but eventually agreed to a loan deal with Dortmund. While there have been reports of Dortmund wanting to re-sign him permanently, there have also been rumors of a potential return to Manchester if ten Hag is sacked at the end of the season.
It's clear that Sancho still has a lot to prove, but his performance in the Champions League semi-finals against PSG shows just how far he has come since his difficult start to the season. It's safe to say that he has silenced his critics and is now making a name for himself on the European stage. Only time will tell where his future lies, but for now, he is focused on helping Dortmund reach the final of the Champions League.
