Awkward! Sancho's loan row with Man United, but returns post-season?

Iti911

After a falling out with coach Ten Hag, Manchester United player Sancho finally managed to leave Manchester United and join Borussia Dortmund on loan during the winter transfer window, as he had hoped. Despite being heavily criticized for his performance, he found a resurgence in form at his new club. However, due to Manchester United's high asking price, even his excellent performances may not secure a permanent transfer to Borussia Dortmund in the next season.

In his return to Borussia Dortmund, Sancho started in two out of three games and provided an assist. While his statistics might not be particularly outstanding, he noticeably boosted the team's attacking prowess, contributing to three consecutive victories and an improved position in the Bundesliga standings. One would expect such a commendable performance to prompt Borussia Dortmund to consider purchasing Sancho from Manchester United. However, this may not be the case due to Manchester United's inflated asking price.

Reportedly, Sancho's impressive displays at Borussia Dortmund led Manchester United to value him at £50 million. Considering that Manchester United purchased Sancho for £85 million, £50 million would be a loss for the club. Moreover, Sancho struggled to adapt to Manchester United and fell short of the expected standards, especially after his fallout with the coach. Hence, Manchester United's £50 million valuation appears unreasonably high.

This situation might deter Borussia Dortmund from acquiring Sancho, despite his willingness to stay. Other clubs are also unlikely to be willing to pay such a high price for a player who failed to deliver at Manchester United. Therefore, Manchester United's inflated asking price has sparked controversy. Ultimately, in this free market, both buying and selling are choices made by the parties involved. However, Sancho, as the player caught in the middle, may end up being the biggest casualty. Given his promising start to his career, it's difficult not to feel regretful for him.

Sancho's career choice to join Manchester United was undoubtedly the worst decision he could have made. He probably regrets it deeply now, but what good does that do? At the time, he couldn't have known how things would turn out.

Despite Sancho's choice to join Manchester United and his struggles to adapt there, he still managed to perform consistently. Hopefully, in the future, Sancho will choose a better club.

With things having turned out like this, how could he even go back to Manchester United? Even if he did, he would probably just warm the bench, feeling awkward and embarrassed...

"Dortmund has always been known for buying low and selling high. How could they possibly spend £50 million on Sancho? With that amount, Dortmund could buy five or six promising young talents to nurture. These talents might even be sold for £80 million back to Manchester United or even £100 million to Real Madrid if they develop well. However, Sancho shouldn't worry too much. As long as he performs well during his loan spell at Dortmund, he will have firmly proven his worth and gained confidence, whether he stays at Manchester United or moves to another club. Of course, it all depends on his performance. Otherwise, he'll just be stuck by the water cooler.

But it's still early to say anything. There's still half a season left, and Sancho needs to play around 20 games for Dortmund. Manchester United is currently some distance away from Champions League qualification, so by summer, Ten Hag might have been sacked. In that case, Sancho would likely have a better chance. After all, any new coach would be unlikely to ignore Sancho's talents and opt for the square pegs. Even if Ten Hag stays, Manchester United could negotiate the £50 million price tag, or if Dortmund can't afford it, there are plenty of wealthy Premier League clubs who might be interested. As long as Sancho proves himself, there will be a club willing to sign him.

So for now, Sancho just needs to focus on one thing: performing well at Dortmund and achieving excellent results. That way, he can secure a bright future for himself."

With Dortmund's current financial situation, £50 million does indeed seem excessive. Manchester United could consider continuing to loan Sancho. For such a young athlete, not playing regularly would be detrimental.

Finding a new club at this valuation is indeed challenging. Manchester United will undoubtedly incur losses in any potential sale, but they wouldn't want to sell at such a loss that it leaves them with nothing. Asking for £50 million to recoup half seems reasonable for Manchester United, but it's not buyer-friendly.

No matter how much he's eventually sold for, the transfer of Sancho to Manchester United is definitely a loss. Bringing in a forward on £300,000 a week who can't contribute to the team is a significant setback. It's possible they might even have to pay to offload him now. It's truly a very painful transaction.
