UNITED'S LOSS, DORTMUND'S GAIN

Sancho can show at Wembley his rebound stems from the Red Devils’ dysfunction

- 

DORTMUND Jadon Sancho is seeking redemption on home soil when he returns to England with Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final clash with Real Madrid on June 1.

The Wembley showpiece will be a chance to prove that his unhappy Manchester United spell was a result of the dysfunction at the club, rather than a personal failing.

The 24-year-old returned to Dortmund in January, the club where he made his name as a teenager before his big-money move to United in 2021.

He has impressed during his sixmonth loan, particularly in the Champions League, where he helped Dortmund reach the final for just the third time in history.

Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl, who was crucial in bringing Sancho back to the club, said the Englishman showed his resolve during a difficult period.

"It was not an easy situation in January to bring Jadon to Dortmund," he said on May 28.

"But we knew Jadon had the skills to perform, to be decisive and to bring us to another level. Jadon is such a great person, a great player, and the experience he had in Manchester helped him to perform now.
