Jadon Sancho played a crucial role in Borussia Dortmund’s 3-0 win against Darmstadt, entering as a substitute just 10 minutes into the second half. Making a comeback appearance since August, Sancho assisted Marco Reus for the second goal, showcasing his skills with a well-timed run and precise pass. This marked his return to action after facing exclusion and criticism at Manchester United under coach Ten Hag.
The 23-year-old forward, who expressed his belief of unfair singling out on social media, returned to demonstrate renewed determination with Borussia Dortmund. Despite previous critiques of his work ethic, Sancho showcased defensive contributions and a willingness to track back, challenging narratives surrounding his commitment.
The differing approach towards Sancho at Manchester United, compared to Ten Hag’s public support for Antony despite performance shortcomings, raises questions about the coach’s methods. Sancho’s strong performance with Dortmund prompts reflection on the dynamics that led to his exclusion from the English club and the subsequent impact on his form.
Contrary to rumors, Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans Joachim Watzke denied any discipline issues during Sancho’s earlier stint with the club, adding complexity to the ongoing discussion about his situation and the circumstances surrounding his return to form with the German club.
