The winger is heading back to the Bundesliga in a deal which will earn Man United around £3.5million
Jadon Sancho is in advanced talks to end his Manchester United exile and complete his Borussia Dortmund return over the weekend.
The 23-year-old winger is set to re-join the German club in a six-month loan spell, which will see United bank £3.5million in both fee and wages to complete the deal, but Dortmund are not expected to have an option to make the move permanent.
United signed the England international for £73m in 2021 but he is now persona non grata under Erik ten Hag.
Sancho is among the highest-paid players in the Premier League, earning a reported £350,000-a-week, but has not played for United since August after public criticism from his manager over his performances in training.
Sancho hit back at Ten Hag’s “completely untrue” claims and said he has been a “scapegoat for a long time”.
The 23-cap England forward has also not played for his country since he missed a penalty in the European Championships final in 2021 and is highly unlikely to make Gareth Southgate’s squad this summer.
United have been beset by off-field issues this season and have just two wins in seven matches across a poor December.

Man United (& INEOS) are against cheap buy option a as Jadon's current value is not high.
Sancho's future will be decided in June. pic.twitter.com/PhnlC5kiDD
