England international Jadon Sancho remains a Manchester United player as he’s currently on a season long loan at Aston Villa.
Sancho spent last season on loan at Chelsea and has continued his adventure elsewhere this season with United willing to move on from the former Borussia Dortmund winger.
According to new report, Dortmund are prepared to sign Sancho for the third time in his career as they prepare for life without Julian Brandt.
After seven years of creative service in North Rhine-Westphalia, 29-year-old Brandt has decided to seek a new challenge abroad rather than renew his expiring contract.

The German international has been learning Spanish, fuelling rumors of a move to Barcelona, while Arsenal also remain long-term admirers, per Sky Germany.
Dortmund’s hierarchy is now seeking a perfect replacement with Sancho topping the list. The 25-year-old is not expected to be offered a new contract at Man Utd, so he will become a free agent this summer.
According to Sky Sports, his availability on a free, coupled with his willingness to accept a pay cut, makes him a financially attractive option for BVB management.
However, the same report also mentions that there are still doubts within the backroom team, given head coach Niko Kovac’s emphasis on defensive discipline and hard work.
It’s still undecided if Sancho is the right man and this will be decided in the coming weeks as BVB prepares for a crucial summer transfer window.
