  WHAT HAPPENED?

  It was reported this week that Sancho has agreed to a temporary return to the German side in a loan deal worth €4 million (£3.5m/$4m), which does not include an option to buy him. Sancho hinted that an agreement is all wrapped up as he 'liked' transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano's post on X (formerly Twitter) about the imminent completion of the move.

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The 23-year-old will hope to get his career back on track at Dortmund following a difficult period at United. He has featured on just three occasions this season under Erik ten Hag and was banished from the senior team in August after hitting back at the manager following criticism over his conduct in training. Sancho claimed he has been used as a "scapegoat" at Old Trafford, and it was later reported that the relationship between player and coach is "beyond repair".
