Jadon Sancho has rejoined Borussia Dortmund on loan from Manchester United for the remainder of the season.
Sancho, 23, has been banished from the United first team since publicly hitting out at the manager, Erik ten Hag, after not being included in the squad for the defeat at Arsenal in September.
Confirming the loan move, Dortmund wrote on X:”BVB has signed Jadon Sancho on loan until the end of the season.
“Currently with Manchester United, the loan contract runs until June 30th, 2024.”
Dortmund are set to pay a loan fee of €4m (£3.4m) and part of Sancho’s salary.
The winger, who spent four seasons with Dortmund from 2017 before joining United, said: “When I walked into the changing room today, it felt like ‘coming home’. I know the club inside out, I’ve always been very close to the fans here and I’ve never lost contact with the people in charge.
“I can’t wait to see my teammates again, get out on the pitch, play football with a smile on my face, get assists, score goals and help the club qualify for the Champions League.”
Dortmund won a Champions League group containing Paris St-Germain, Newcastle and Milan, but falling behind Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.
They are fifth, 15 points behind leaders Leverkusen.
The Bundesliga restarts on Friday and Dortmund face Darmstadt away on Saturday.
