Jadon Sancho has spoken about his Manchester United departure in a new interview.
Sancho returned to Borussia Dortmund this January on loan, after a falling out with United boss Erik ten Hag saw him him frozen out from first team proceedings for four months.
The 23-year-old initially left Signal Iduna Park in 2021 for £75million, beginning an ill-fated spell that saw him produce just 12 goals and eight assists across 82 appearances for United.

Now back in Germany, Sancho admitted that his return was first discussed with Marco Reus during a pre-season friendly between United and Dortmund in July.
Speaking to Dortmund’s YouTube channel, Sancho said: "That Vegas clip, he [Reus] was telling me to come back to Dortmund.
"That's inside information and he said 'Whenever you're ready bro I'm here'. I've always had it in my mind that if it didn't work out somewhere, BVB is a place I know and everyone knows me inside out.
“It's good to know the club and the players back me."

Having already registered two assists in his first two appearances since his Dortmund return, Sancho expressed his delight at being back in familiar surroundings.
On the move he said: “Happiness, enjoyment, fun and energy. Those would be the words and ever since I departed Dortmund, I always kept in touch with the players here, always watching the games.
“BVB will always be part of my life and no matter what I do in my future, the club will always have a soft spot in my heart.
“It's mainly Marco [Reus] and obviously Jamie [Bynoe-Gittens] who I kept in touch with. Me and Jamie are both from London, so we kept in contact.”

The England international is expected to secure a permanent move away from United in the next transfer window, though it is uncertain that would be a permanent move to Dortmund.
