He gets the Rashford treatment. Keep persevering with him until he hits a temporary bit of form and then offer him a new lucrative contract just before he turns shite again.
While I have no interest in him getting another chance here, I am curious to see if he performs over there or if he's just lost his motivation for it on the whole
Not sure if Ill even bother checking how he is doing. One of the worst wastes of time in recent history considering the outlay for him
Came in as a potential world class winger who seemed to genuinely want to be here, he leaves (for now at least) as in my opinion the biggest disappointment in our modern transfer history and an attitude worthy of a school playground.
Hope he does well there so we somehow get rid in the summer for a half decent fee.

Straight out of the Woodward school of business strategy
can you you moral warriors use the other sancho threads to moan about him. this one should just be for his performances. i don’t want to hear any other rubbish about him.
In the sense of overstaying while doing fek all. Probably.
Hopefully the last we'll see of him at United. Fingers crossed he does well enough to get us a decent fee.
He’ll got too Dortmund, do amazing, ETH will get sacked, new Utd manager will happily welcome back Sancho
We need a manager and coaching team we can trust, yes.
Someone who can coach and manage players and individuals. No player is unmanageble.
To me it doesn't look like we are managing the players we have very well. We are among the biggest clubs in the world, with an enormous apparatus around the players, and their only job is to get the most out of a pool of 30 players. Dealing with someone who's unmotivated and comes in late for training should be easy to handle. It's the managements job to coach and if needed guide this player into better habits, making sure he understands what is expected of him in a way that makes sure we get the best out of him. What works for one player doesn't work for every player. Players that have shown WC-talent and performed well at other clubs, that fail here, is on us. Getting the best out of every asset we have is the managements responsibility. If the player just doesn't have the potential to play on the top level, that is another thing, but Sancho has that potential.
We failed miserably with him and it's obvious ETH doesn't have the right set of keys to unlock some of our players.
Hopefully he plays well enough that we can drive up the fee for him in the summer. One distraction less
Here’s hoping
Wow imagine hoping ETH will get sacked and thinking Sancho is the solution after stinking up the place for 3 years.
He's been here 3 fecking years and you are talking about Sancho having potential to play at the top level when he has shown nothing of the sort under 3 managers here. ETH even gave him time off to get his head together and still people have a go at him for answering a question in a fecking interview.
"I'm back" absolute tosser. Pray we don't bring him back.
Hopefully does well
It’s like a kid having to go back to school after the summer break
He’ll be fecking fuming not being able to play fifa all night

Official announcement
Good riddance. Hope he does well so we can recoup some of the fee in the summer. Can't see it though, he doesn't strike me as the character who would have kept himself fit during this break despite claims he will "fight for the badge".
Sancho for me doesn't cut it in English football but the manager hasn't handled the situation adequately at all. To give an ultimatum of apology or exile is extremism as the situation wasn't severe enough to determine those course of events. It should have been resolved behind closed doors (even if there was an agreement for the player to leave). The hope should be that Sancho does well so the club can demand a good fee for him in the summer. Between him and Greenwood that's potentially 70-80 million if those within the new structure are worth their positions. A contribution towards FFP and the club which historically have undersold players can recoup value to reinvest into the market.
Holy shit, it's actually real. That's extremely embarassing.
Enjoyed these Reddit comments, though:
Back in February 2023, I thought that maybe Sancho kickstart his career here.
It hasn't worked out, so it's another example of our recruitment (loaning out a £72m player back to the club we brought him from)
I've seen this opinion touted around a lot but Sancho crossed a line from which their should be no return. If anything Ten Hag was generous allowing a path back to the squad if he apologised.
What would Fergie have done if one of his players called him a liar to the world? The player would have had to have gone into hiding.
His complete lack of pace and pressing from the front kills him in English football. Hes good at ball carrying but not when he has an actual obstacle in his way. Otherwise it’s stand still and hope to wrong foot a FB time and time again
Fergie held the line with much better players. And I mean MUCH better… Sancho doesn’t get in the match squads for most of our 90s and 00s
It’s not one thing in isolation, it’s about too standards and expectations and sticking to them so everyone knows they do that or will likely be leaving.
Im all for it
he’s more brazen than a returning spouse who lost loads of weight and thought she could do better. she ran off with her gym instructor, who soon traded her in for a new model, and now she’s trying to worm her way back. he’s basically carol partridge.
I think the fundamental difference with Sir Alex is his man management was remarkable and preceded his credentials as a top manager. I don't see the same with Eth so there's no equilibrium as you would have with Sir Alex.
For instance, if Sir Alex falls out with a player given his credibility in this area (many of his former world class players big egos referring to him as a father figure etc) the consensus for me would always be that the player was at fault without question. But on the other hand, when I hear of a fallout with Erik I subconsciously already need more context considering he doesn't have the reputation for man management and his lack of charisma and very dry personality only consolidates that curiosity further.
It's subjective of course but if Erik and Sir Alex made the same decision over something it's not a black and white predicament one was a master of knowing how to manage, inspire, motivate and demand more out of people.

What disappoints me is that he is a good player - better than some still at the club. He has all the ability, but seemingly the wrong attitude.
Good luck to him, hope he does well at Dortmund and hopefully he can sort out his professionalism issues too. He might not want to apologise for his statement but hopefully this will be a kick up the backside to start getting to training on time, all of the time. It would be a shame for a player to not achieve their potential because for whatever reason they can't or won't do some of the basic things right.
Exactly the type of comments I expected from him upon re-signing for Dortmund. Pathetic attitude, good riddance.
But that's my point the extremism lies in the apology or the exile. Eth would have made a more impactful decision sticking with one course of events. To be given an ultimatum in any professional field is poor practice. If the player overstepped the line and it's to the extent of no return (from the managers perspective) than let that be the case.
Not good enough for the Premier League. I'm sure he'll thrive now he's dropped down a few levels.
Perfect analogy
It's sad times when Germany is declaring a national holiday because a mediocre player has returned on loan.
It will be even funnier when Kane gets a statue built in the centre of Munich because he scored a few goals.
I went to Germany once and I was actually the 187th best footballer in the country which says it all

ETH got asked a question, he answered it, there was nothing wrong with what he said. If he lied, everyone would have called him out for lying. The reaction from Sancho was what caused the issue. Someone else would have used it as motivation to get ass into gear from a manager who supported him by giving him time off but he threw a strop then played video games for 3 months. He's been here 3 years, had 2 managers before ETH. He's been dreadful since he's been here when we had high hopes for him.
The cnut that keeps on giving. Tell you what Jadon, take a pay cut and feck off there for good in the summer if you love it so much.

His pace isn’t an issue at all. It’s his lack of ability to cope with pressure especially physical and also mental that killed his premier league career so far.
