During the highly anticipated Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain, all eyes were on Jadon Sancho as he delivered an outstanding performance. The young footballer caught up with Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel after the game, where they discussed his future plans. Sancho, who is currently on loan at Dortmund, admitted that he is uncertain about what lies ahead for him.
Last January, the 23-year-old was welcomed back to Dortmund on a six-month loan deal after being excluded from the United squad by manager Erik ten Hag in September. Sancho played a vital role in helping his team reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, showcasing his talents against PSV Eindhoven and Atletico Madrid in the previous rounds. However, it was Wednesday's first leg clash where he truly stole the show.
The talented winger proved to be a nightmare for PSG's left-back Nuno Mendes, and could have easily secured three assists if his teammates had been more clinical in front of goal. Despite his impressive performance, it seems that Sancho's future at Old Trafford is uncertain, with reports stating that almost the entire squad is up for sale this summer. On the other hand, Dortmund is eager to make his loan deal permanent if they are able to raise the necessary funds.
In a post-match interview with CBS Sports, alongside a slightly intoxicated Jamie Carragher, former United goalkeeper Schmeichel asked Sancho if he plans on staying with the team. The young star remained coy, stating that he is solely focused on the present and has yet to make a decision about his future.
Ten Hag, who is also under pressure at Old Trafford, was questioned about the possibility of Sancho's return to Manchester United in April. He shared that he follows international football closely and keeps an eye on players who are on loan at other clubs. After Dortmund's impressive semi-final win against Atletico, he praised Sancho for his contribution to the team's success.
In 2021, Manchester United paid a hefty fee of £72 million to acquire Sancho's services. With the footballer's future still uncertain, fans eagerly await to see where he will end up.
