Winger slipped out of favour at Old TraffordReturned to the Bundesliga in JanuaryHighest-scoring Englishman in German top-flightGettyWHAT HAPPENED?
The England international winger finds himself back at Borussia Dortmund after falling out of favour under Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford. A loan agreement was put in place during the winter transfer window, allowing the 24-year-old to rediscover a spark with Bundesliga giants.

Sancho has looked lively back in Dortmund and was among the goals as they suffered a 4-1 defeat to RB Leipzing in their last outing. Edin Terzic’s side took the lead in that contest, but endured a dramatic collapse to walk away with nothing.
WHAT SANCHO SAID
The final outcome left Sancho with little to celebrate, but he has become the highest-scoring Englishman in Bundesliga history – with his strike against Leipzig taking him to 40 across two spells in the German top-flight. He has said of hitting that mark: “A result to reflect on… thank you for the travelling fans who came to support us today! A bittersweet moment also for breaking the English record goal scorer in the Bundesliga surpassing the legend Tony Woodcock!”
WHAT NEXT?
Sancho may not hold a place in the history books for long, as international team-mate Harry Kane is chasing him down. The former Tottenham striker has only been with Bayern Munich for a season, but he already has 35 Bundesliga goals to his name and will make history at some point if he remains at the Allianz Arena.
