Borussia Dortmund’s players are reportedly voicing their support for a potential reunion with Jadon Sancho, the Manchester United winger who has endured a turbulent spell in England. Once a fan favorite at Signal Iduna Park, Sancho is remembered as a dynamic playmaker capable of turning games on their head. Now, with his future at Old Trafford increasingly uncertain, his former teammates see him as a “difference maker” who could reignite Dortmund’s attack.
During his time in the Bundesliga, Sancho developed into one of Europe’s brightest young stars, dazzling crowds with his dribbling, creativity, and ability to deliver in big moments. Between 2017 and 2021, he amassed 50 goals and 64 assists in all competitions for Dortmund, forming a deadly partnership with Erling Haaland and Marco Reus. That track record has many in the Dortmund locker room eager to see him back in black and yellow.
At Manchester United, however, things have been far more difficult. Since his high-profile move in 2021, Sancho has struggled with consistency, fitness, and reported clashes with manager Erik ten Hag. His lack of playing time has further fueled speculation about a possible transfer, with Dortmund widely seen as the ideal landing spot should United be open to letting him go.
For Dortmund, the timing could be perfect. The club is looking to strengthen its squad following key departures and inconsistent attacking displays in recent months. Sancho’s familiarity with the system, connection with several current players, and proven Bundesliga success make him a natural fit.
While finances and negotiations with Manchester United remain major hurdles, the push from Dortmund’s players highlights just how valued Sancho still is in Germany. A homecoming could not only revive his career but also provide Dortmund with the spark they need to compete at the highest
level.
