Dortmund‘s current coach was basically Sancho‘s nanny at Dortmund. I assume they (think they) know how to handle him.

It makes even more sense then. Will be interesting to see how it plays out actually.
He will be pampered and babied, and I’ve no doubt it will work in their favour. We couldn’t afford to do that, especially with his performances for us massively underwhelming.
I do think he’s got a chance to come back if Ten Hag is given the boot, but it wouldn’t sit right with me.

Wouldn't be surprised if now Nuri Sahin takes over "nanny duty" as new assistant who also has played together with Sancho. There should be some kind of connection between the former wonderkid and youngest captain Sahin and Sancho.
How this "Jobs for the boys" approach on Dortmund's bench will work however will be interesting to see.
That’s also interesting. Had no idea about those changes. Who have they got involved in some capacity?
Andy Moller should be brought in! Top character and doing some interesting work currently.
We could do it but this Football club is poorly run., to the point where doing things that suit its interests is overlooked. If I spend that much on players, you can bet that I will do nearly everything to make it work in my favour and be damned my misplaced pride.
Thanks
And I consider those 15% my best reads by far!85% of the times he posts good content and I agree with most of his takes. But the other 15% @Zehner is rambling about his hatred towards everything Bayern
Nuri Sahin and Lars Bender just now start as new assistant managers to Terzic, they were Klopp's young midfielders. Their "predecessor" Sebastian Kehl who was a senior backup under Klopp is Dortmund's DoF. Terzic himself never played for Dortmund but started during Klopp's time as scout, later coached multiple youth teams (mostly as assistant) before becoming Lucien Favre's assistant and later his successor as manager. During Rose's season in charge he moved to a "technical director" position before taking over as manager again. So quite a bunch of "Klopp era" guys running the show now, and they even increased that after their terrible first half season.
Otto Addo, another former player is officially their "talent manager", which seems to be a similar role to what Fletcher does at United- helping young players transitioning from the academy to senior football.
I’d agree if he had shown more in the league, but he’s been average at best. He got special treatment last year, and for what?
I get why you say that but there is one small issue. Being sent away isn't a special treatment or at least not a positive one but most importantly, the "special" treatment isn't supposed to be a reward for the player but for the club, it's simply what man management is about, you treat everyone individually and try to find what trigger them positively. Some players, you leave them alone, others you nanny them and actively nudge them in the right direction.
Currently United seem to use a one fit for all approach outside of punishing players which has had no positive effect. It has just been a costly management approach that saw us have zero players fulfill their potential in the last decade.
There was an article from Honigstein earlier that suggested that part of the reason Sahin and Bender came in was to make it easier to sack Terzic if they need to. Sancho's nanny doesn't seem to be at all on solid ground.
As others have said, having former teammates on the coaching staff could help him. Hopefully he does well and gets a bit of value, but I'll be pretty surprised if achieves anything like the numbers he had there previously.
I won't be happy if he leaves. He still has so much potential and I feel like he could do much better with the right guidance. I suppose he can only really blame himself but it seems like we got it wrong somewhere too.
Dude had chances galore. Didn't cut it. Time to press on.
The man has had long enough to get things right; he was given an awful lot of support last season to get his head right. He’s clearly not of the mentality that’ll succeed here and it’s better for both parties to part ways. I really don’t think there’s much more United could have done.
To be fair he also cried when Rooney left. So...
It's over. Potential means nothing without the right mentality and professionalism. It's also quite obvious that he doesn't really care about the club and the fans. So why should you?

Dortmund's business model is something to behold.
You love to see it!
He heard Marbella and was all over it. Wouldn't be missing a chance at that
This beyond any business model. When a generational talent is available for cheap you just have to pounce.
It's a good move for him and club, I think Eth will be gone sooner or later this season but if he plays well the club can recoup some of his initial fee. It's a hit on FFP but end of the season there could be 100m (euros) in sales between Sancho / Greenwood. I hope he performs well for the good of his career.

Do Dortmund have any money to buy him if the loan goes well? Around £30m feels like it'd be a good deal for both parties
I don't think they were planning on spending a lot of money on an attacking player, so it kind of depends on how well Sancho does and maybe if Malen can get sold for a decent fee, it's been reported that Manchester United are considering to pursue him.
The whole incident has shown that there's no real leadership at United, Arnold and Murtagh were phoning it in as they probably both thought/knew they were getting shoved out the door when the new owners arrived.
The whole thing should have been nipped in the bud and sorted out months ago.
Yeah, that is an explanation

Yes I agree with this, I'm hoping he goes away to Dortmond, has a good few months under his belt and comes back ready to fight for his place
Haven't a clue who zol is mate
Sancho has failed to perform under three different managers. I've no expectations that another change at the top would result in any sort of improvement. He just hasn't been a good footballer for Manchester United. He won't come back to United a changed player as he has never bothered to do it in the past.
I don't think the club realised what kind of player he was when we signed him either. He was used very similarly to Rashford whose strengths lay in isolating a full back and beating him in duels. Sancho doesn't have the explosive pace or dribbling ability to consistently separate from a defender.
The discipline issues are solely on him and if he can't be relied upon to train adequately he has to go. I don't blame Ten Hag for discipling him this season.
It's disappointing as I'm sure we all had such high hopes for him. But I think we bought the wrong player at the wrong time and didn't do our due diligence on helping integrate him into the side.

Good riddance to the petulant child.
It’s ok to disagree, but truth speaks. We are in deep shite under ETH management now, and turns out Fergie was right about Pogba too.
Best united news all season
All that is good, how about on field performance and also apparently lack of training performance.
People are not blaming or criticizing Sancho for being a shit human, it's for professionalism and performance.
Longish shot but I think he’ll come back in the summer after an unspectacular loan and Brailsford will hire some psychologist and a minder to get him up for and into training and whatever else he needs to reach peak performance. If he gets the mental side right he’s got all the tools. If he shines at Dortmund and doesn’t diss Utd during this loan I think there’s a way back if INEOS want him and the manager to make up. I think he’ll want to be part of us going forward with new owners. Nobody is going to pay him the same as us either. I back the manager getting him out and laying down a marker but a determined and focused Sancho could still be a really good player. If he comes back and knuckles down they’ve both won.
If , maybe , hope and wish will lead to disappointment. The only wish I have is someone is daft enough to buy him after pulling the wool over some coaches eyes on load at Dortmund.
He’d have a Pogba-ish return to Dortmund.
