Jadon Sancho isn’t set to be short of options when his contract at Manchester United expires in the summer, although the club do have the option to extend by a further year
Manchester United wantaway star Jadon Sancho is reportedly open to a return to Borussia Dortmund this summer and is ready to accept settling for a reduction in wages to do so.
The Athletic have reported that the winger, who is currently on loan at Aston Villa, would be willing to return to Dortmund for a third time.
He has featured 158 times for the Bundesliga side across two periods, the most recent being at the end of the 2023/24 season.
Sancho hasn’t featured for United since August 2023 and has spent the last two seasons at Chelsea and Aston Villa, who he helped reach the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday night.
His contract expires at the end of the season and despite the club holding the option to extend it by a further year, it is likely that his five year spell at Old Trafford will come to an end.

Dortmund were linked with Sancho briefly last summer before he moved to Villa. Niko Kovac’s men moved to a 3-4-2-1 system this season, using two attacking midfielders behind a striker.
But the report from The Athletic claims that they are planning to return to a winger-based formation.
As well as interest from Germany, Sancho is also said to be attracting interest from Italy and Turkey.
It’s currently unclear whether Villa will look to sign the United winger on a permanent basis in the summer on a free transfer.
It’s reported that the budget available to Unai Emery will depend on their Premier League finish and which European competition they qualify for. Last month, the Villa boss was asked about the possibility of extending Sancho’s move in Birmingham.
“He will need another contract, and maybe it could be here,” Emery said. “If he plays his best football, we will want him. But other teams could also be interested in him.
“This is football, and each match is important for every player’s and the club’s future, and for how we can achieve our objectives.”
