Jadon Sancho's behaviour at Borussia Dortmund after leaving Man Utd speaks volumes as damning report emerges

Jadon Sancho’s behaviour at Borussia Dortmund after leaving Manchester United speaks volumes.

Sancho’s career at Old Trafford was plunged into doubt after a public spat with manager Erik ten Hag back in September.

The Englishman hit back at his manager after Ten Hag criticised his performance during training sessions.

As a result, Sancho was frozen out at United and eventually returned to his former club Dortmund on loan in January.

Since returning to his former club, there has reportedly been a change in Sancho’s behaviour.

A report by The Telegraph stated: “Sancho’s demeanour has been that of a player happy in his surroundings. He has engaged with fans during open training sessions and has undergone media duties, which is a contrast to United.”

Over the weekend, after scoring against RB Leipzig, he became the record English goalscorer in the Bundesliga.

After the match, the 24-year-old wrote on social media: “A result to reflect on… thank you for the travelling fans who came to support us today!

“A bittersweet moment also for breaking the English record goal scorer in the Bundesliga surpassing the legend Tony Woodcock!”

Speaking about Sancho last month, Dortmund boss Edin Terzic said: “He’s enjoying being with his team-mates on and off the pitch and Jadon is a player that needs to smile.

“If he’s smiling then he’s going to shine on the pitch and it’s really for important for us that he can perform like this.”

He added: “He did it really well in the last two games and I think tonight was his best performance and we know there’s a lot more to come.”

Meanwhile, former England boss Glenn Hoddle added: “He’s going into places where at United where he just wouldn’t go.

“He’s going into awkward places where he’s perhaps going to get kicked, perhaps going to get marked heavily. He wanted the ball. In the first half particularly, he wanted the ball so many times. He got annoyed if it didn’t come. That’s when you’re confident. That’s when you’re on top of your game.”
