Manchester United midfielder Jadon Sancho has completed a loan move to former club Borussia Dortmund until the end of the season.

It is understood there is no option to buy when the loan deal has finished in the summer and the Bundesliga side will contribute €3.5m, with up to an additional €4m in add-ons.

The 23-year-old has been exiled from the Manchester United team since a public dispute with manager Erik ten Hag at the beginning of September.

Sancho has struggled to settle during his time with the Red Devils since his £73m move from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 and has played just 82 times, scoring 12 goals and making six assists.

He will now temporarily return to club where he became one of Europe's most sought after young talents after scoring 50 times and making 64 assists in his 137 appearances in all competitions.

Speaking on the deal to join his former side, he 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, prepare goals, score goals and help qualify for the Champions League."
