Manchester United have set a £40m asking price for Jadon Sancho as he prepares to return to the club following the expiry of his loan with Borussia Dortmund.
The winger first made the move to United in 2021 after leaving Bundesliga outfit Dortmund, but he has struggled to live up to his £73m price tag and was dropped from the United squad after a public disagreement with manager Erik ten Hag.
The club sent him back on loan to his former club Dortmund, with the hope that his career could be revived in Germany. Sancho then went on to see success in the Bundesliga, as well as playing in the Champions League final against Real Madrid at Wembley.
His loan deal, however, did not include the option for a permanent transfer, and United are now looking to restart talks over a sale with a £40m asking price.
Uncertainty still clouds Ten Hag’s future at the club and it was even suggested Sancho could be brought back to the squad if the Dutchman is ultimately relieved of his duties. Thomas Tuchel is even said to have voiced a desire to keep Sancho if he took over, but talks with the former Bayern Munich boss have collapsed.
