Jadon Sancho’s return to Borussia Dortmund on loan has reportedly been delayed after a last-minute hitch.

The exiled Manchester United star was said to have agreed a temporary deal to join up with the German giants until the end of the season as he aims to get his career back on track.  

On Thursday, German newspaper Bild reported it was close to being a done deal, with the move only set to cost Dortmund around £2.6million overall as United will continue to pay most of the player’s £300,000-per-week wages.

The report similarly claims it is highly unlikely there will be a buy option within the deal, while he probably won’t appear at Dortmund’s aforementioned training camp on Friday, with some issues ‘dragging on’.

Local Dortmund outlet Ruhr Nachrichten also reported Sancho’s private jet out to Marbella, which he should have been on this morning, was cancelled at short notice.

Sancho has already agreed to the move – which is still expected to go ahead – and is just waiting for the green light from the Red Devils.  

The England winger, who cost United £73million when they signed him from the Bundesliga club in 2021, was banished by Erik ten Hag to train with the club’s academy teams in September.

That came after Sancho accused Ten Hag of lying over his performance levels in training after he was left out of the United squad to face Arsenal on September 3.

After the game, Ten Hag explained Sancho was not in the squad because he had not performed well enough in training, adding players ‘have to reach a level every day at Manchester United.’

Within minutes, Sancho posted a response on social media in which he directly contradicted Ten Hag’s comments.

He wrote: ‘I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue, I have conducted myself very well in training this week… I’ve been a scapegoat for a long time which isn’t fair!’

On September 14, United confirmed Sancho would be training away from the first team group pending the resolution of the matter.

However, with no sign of a rapprochement with Ten Hag, United were open to offers to move Sancho on during the January window and a return to Dortmund was the player’s favoured option. 

It also emerged Sancho was training and eating with United’s academy players and was being kept entirely separate from his first team colleagues. 

Sancho has struggled to make much impression at Old Trafford, with 12 goals and six assists in 82 games over two-and-a-half seasons.

Dortmund are currently fifth in the Bundesliga table and sit six points behind RB Leipzig in fourth and 15 points shy of leaders Bayer Leverkusen.

Having topped a tough Champions League group featuring Paris Saint-Germain, Newcastle United and AC Milan, they will face PSV Eindhoven in the last-16 next month.

It’s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.

Sancho, 23, spent four years with Dortmund between 2017 and 2021, scoring 50 goals and contributing 64 assists in 137 matches.

He helped them lift the German Cup in 2021 shortly before his move to United, scoring twice in the 4-1 final win over RB Leipzig.

Dortmund have two friendlies scheduled during their stay in Spain – against AZ Alkmaar on Saturday and Standard Liege on Tuesday.

They return to Bundesliga action at Darmstadt on January 13.
