Borussia Dortmund are reportedly prepared to make a loan offer for unsettled Manchester United attacker Jadon Sancho when the winter transfer window opens for business.
The 23-year-old has not featured for the Red Devils since the Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest on August 26 due to his falling-out with head coach Erik ten Hag.
Sancho was a notable absentee from the squad list for the Arsenal match on September 3, with Ten Hag claiming that the forward had been left out due to some poor performances in training.
The ex-Manchester City youngster took to social media to deny his manager's version of events, and he has since been removed from the first-team picture at the club.
Sancho is again set to be absent against Sheffield United in the Premier League on Saturday, and it appears increasingly likely that he has played his final match for the club.
An apology had allegedly been all that was required for Ten Hag to bring him back into the fold, but according to ESPN, the damage has now been done.
The report claims that even if Sancho changed his stance at this stage it 'would mean very little', with the forward widely expected to depart when the January transfer window opens.
Juventus and Barcelona are among the clubs to be linked with the Englishman, with a loan exit the most likely outcome to the situation at the start of 2024.
However, Dortmund are reportedly planning to make a move for Sancho, with the Bundesliga outfit expected to offer him the chance to return to the club on loan for the second half of the campaign.
Despite reports of dressing-room unrest, Sancho allegedly has 'very little support' among senior Man United players, and the club are prepared to take 'a financial hit' in January.
The forward starred for Dortmund between 2017 and 2021, representing the German side on 137 occasions, scoring 50 goals and registering 64 assists in the process.
His form in Germany made him one of the most in-demand attackers in world football, but it has been difficult for the former Watford teenager to make his mark at Man United.
Sancho has only managed 12 goals and six assists in 82 appearances for the Red Devils, and he was also absent for a period towards the end of last year due to a personal issue.
