Commenting on TNT Sports, Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has heaped praise on the performance of forward Jadon Sancho at Borussia Dortmund. In the past winter transfer window, Sancho officially returned to play for Dortmund on a loan deal until the end of the season after a series of conflicts that couldn’t be reconciled with manager Erik ten Hag at Man United.

After 17 appearances for the home team at Signal Iduna Park across all competitions, the English star, despite only scoring 2 goals, has left a strong impression, especially in the Champions League.

The 2000-born player contributed with a goal, helping Dortmund overcome PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League quarter-finals before playing remarkably in the 4-2 victory of the Yellow and Blacks against Atletico Madrid early this morning to advance to the semi-finals alongside other German representatives, despite a 1-2 loss in the first leg.

Sancho has received much praise from Ferdinand.

Witnessing Sancho’s stellar performance in the Dortmund jersey, former football star Ferdinand didn’t hesitate to lavish praise.

“Sancho faced a lot of criticism at Man United, but now he has proven his class and talent,” Ferdinand said on TNT Sports. “He left Man United with many questions, but now he is in the semi-finals of the Champions League with Dortmund.”

This season, Sancho has only made 3 appearances for Man United before being banned from all first-team activities by Ten Hag since September. The future of the 24-year-old forward at Old Trafford remains a question mark, especially with Ten Hag still in charge.
