Dortmund aims dig at Man Utd as Sancho returns 'home'

Borussia Dortmund seemingly aimed a dig at Manchester United after announcing the return of Jadon Sancho. 

The Bundesliga side appeared to have mocked the Red Devils by using the same caption the English club used when they first signed the winger in 2021.

Sancho completed the short-term loan move, returning to the club where he rose to prominence and gained the attention of the footballing world. 

The forward will be hoping to recapture that form after falling out of favour with United boss Erik ten Hag last year. Since joining United, the England international managed to make 82 appearances, scoring 12 goals and assisting eight times.

However, since the beginning of the 2023/24 campaign, the winger has made only three appearances after he issued a public response following Ten Hag criticising his performances on the training pitch. 

The 23-yar-old will now be looking to put the controversy behind him after the move was made official on Thursday. Dortmund, however, seemed to be unable to resist the chance to take a dig at the star's parent club, captioning one of their social media posts: "You love to see it".

Speaking after the announcement, Sancho said that his return to Germany made him feel at "home", adding that he is excited to play with a smile on his face again. 

"When I came into the dressing room today, it felt like 'coming home'," Sancho said, as per the club's official website."

"I can't wait to see my teammates again, go out on the pitch, play football with a smile on my face, prepare goals, score goals and help qualify for the Champions League," he added.
