Manchester United exile Jadon Sancho decides he won't return - reports claim
Jadon Sancho has reportedly decided he doesn't want to return to Manchester United when his loan at Borussia Dortmund ends.
The loan, triggered by a public row with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, has seen Sancho's recent form improve - most notably with his significant contribution to Dortmund's Champions League campaign.
His preference to leave United remains independent of Erik ten Hag's future at Manchesterm where some recent press reports indicate the club may consider moving the Dutchman on.
Sancho's tenure at Manchester United was marred by disagreements and a notable fallout with ten Hag following a match against Arsenal.
Post-fallout, Sancho was relegated to training with the reserves before moving to Dortmund on loan.
Since his return to Dortmund, Sancho has shown significant improvement, particularly highlighted by his performance in the Champions League.
As Sancho's loan expires, Dortmund is eager to extend his stay, either through another loan or a permanent deal, reports claim.
However, financial constraints might limit Dortmund's ability to make an immediate permanent offer.
Manchester United, on their part, are said to be prepared for Sancho's departure and are likely to negotiate a deal around £50 million, a significant drop from the initial £73 million transfer fee paid to Dortmund in 2021.

All current reports of the so-called 'Jadon Sancho transfer saga' are speculative in nature, no definitive statements have been made by either party.
Some media reports emphasize Sancho's improved performance and claim Dortmund's keen interest in retaining him, and given the player's high profile and strong performance in this week's Champions League fixture against PSG, there's some amount of recency bias in this weekend's reporting.
Previous challenges and inconsistencies are featured less prominently.
For some outlets, the narrative around Sancho's public fallout with ten Hag and the managerial issues at Manchester United lean somewhat in the direction of sensationalism, leveraging controversy for engaging content.
