The 24-year-old last appeared in a Premier League game on August 26, 2023, for the Red Devils against Nottingham Forest. After that game, the player had a public fallout with manager Erik ten Hag which led to him being frozen out of their first-team squad. Sancho moved to Borussia Dortmund on a short-term loan in January and went on to reach the Champions League final.
