Erik ten Hag is happy for Jadon Sancho as the English international gradually regains his feeling of football in a Dortmund shirt.

Yesterday, Sancho played well (in Dortmund’s 1-0 victory over PSG),” Goal quoted Ten Hag as saying. “He proved himself to be a good player. Sancho showed why Manchester United spent money to buy him.”

Sancho represents the high values of Manchester United. That’s good. I’m happy for Sancho for that performance. We’ll wait to see what happens in the future,” the former Ajax coach added.

Earlier, after Dortmund secured a spot in this season’s Champions League semi-finals, Ten Hag also affirmed: “I follow international matches, especially loaned players. Sancho is a great player. I’m not surprised to see him play so well.”

In the match against PSG, Sancho won the most duals (13), created the most chances (3), and notably, completed the most dribbles (12 times).

Sancho is among the most promising players in Europe. In 2021, Manchester United spent £73 million to persuade Dortmund to sell the English talent. However, his time at Old Trafford has been a sad memory.

Sancho only appeared in 3 matches for MU this season before getting entangled in the “turn-on” controversy with coach Ten Hag. As a result, Sancho was expelled from the team and didn’t feature much for the first team before joining Dortmund on loan in January 2024.
