WINGER Jadon Sancho may be within hours of packing his bags to head back to Borussia Dortmund.

A six-month loan deal expected to provide Manchester United with a fee of around £3million was being thrashed out on Wednesday night.

Negotiations have also involved how much of the ostracised player’s £270,000-a-week wages will have to be stumped up by the Old Trafford club.

United bought Sancho from Dortmund for a whopping £73m in 2021.

And there is likely to be a clause that could see Sancho return permanently to the Bundesliga side where he starred.

Appearances and form will dictate how much that would cost if both parties agree on a sale but any return would see United take a huge hit on the troubled 23-year-old.

But for now, Dortmund, also poised to sign Chelsea’s Dutch ace Ian Maatsen, 21, for £30m, are desperate to bring back Sancho.

They want the England man to join their mid-season training break in Marbella which starts next week.

Sancho was made an Old Trafford leper by boss Erik ten Hag four months ago after publicly accusing him of lying over allegations he had under-performed in training sessions.

But after refusing to apologise to Ten Hag it has seen Sancho frozen out of the United setup.

Before being banished he scored 12 goals and grabbed six assists in 82 appearances, often struggling for consistency.

Yet with Dortmund, he racked up 50 goals and 64 assists in 137 games.

United hope his exit could be confirmed at any moment over the next two days.

The 23-year-old has not played for United since August having been dropped for the 3-1 away loss at Arsenal.
