Jadon Sancho takes brutal swipe at Erik ten Hag as Man Utd flop seals emotional Borussia Dortmund return
JADON SANCHO has completed his loan move to Borussia Dortmund.
The 23-year-old will spend the rest of the season with the Bundesliga giants.
Dortmund announced the move with a short statement that read: “I’m back.”
Sancho appeared to make a dig at Erik ten Hag as he sealed the move, saying he “can’t wait to play football with a smile” again.
On rejoining his former club, the winger said: “When I came into the dressing room today, it felt like coming home.
“I know the club inside and out, I’ve always been very close with the fans here and I’ve never lost contact with those in charge.
“I can’t wait to see my team-mates again, go out on the pitch, play football with a smile on my face, assist goals, score goals and help qualify for the Champions League.”
Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl said: “Jadon is an absolute difference player and I’m looking forward to seeing him back in black and yellow soon.
“He knows this city, Signal Iduna Park, our fans and our club.
“Even though he hasn’t played any competitive games in the past few months, we are sure that he will quickly settle back in with us, get into top form and use his qualities to help us achieve our goals for the season.”

Sancho is looking to revive his career after spending four months in exile at Manchester United.
He has not played any football since his public fall out with Ten Hag.
Sancho was left out of the squad for United’s trip to Arsenal in September with the boss citing his “performances in training.”
The attacker then took to social media and claimed he was made a “scapegoat” by Ten Hag.
He then refused to apologise and was banned from training and all first-team facilities.
Sancho returns to Dortmund after spending four years there from 2017 to 2021.
The fans’ favourite scored 50 goals and got 64 assists in 137 games, earning him a £73million move to Man Utd.
But he has suffered a nightmare at Old Trafford, struggling to hit top form as he found the back of the net just 12 times in 82 games.
The 23-time capped England star also managed a paltry six assists.
Ex-United star Louis Saha slammed him as one of the club’s “biggest transfer failures” ever when speaking to Paddy Power.
Sancho’s Red Devils contract runs until 2026 and his parent club are reportedly paying £100,000 of his weekly £290,000 salary while he is in Germany.
Dortmund supposedly do not have an option to buy included in the loan deal.
They will pay United £3m for the loan, which could rise to £3.4m if clauses relating to appearances and Champions League qualification are met.
Sancho deleted his Instagram account following his spat with Ten Hag but prior to his transfer becoming official, he reactivated his profile.
