Wilcox Era Dawns at Manchester United As Sancho Transfer Secured

  • He is currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund
  • His future at Manchester United on returning from loan could resurrect
  • If Wilcox joins Manchester United, Sancho could be in a better position to join the team

Jason Sancho could rejoin his team Manchester United after his loan at Borussia Dortmund, if Wilcox joins the team as their technical director of football, following his falling out with the current manager Erik ten Hag.

Initially, Sancho declared his interest in joining his former team but it was on condition that Erik ten Hag had to step down if he was bound to rejoin. The two fell out when the manager denied him a chance to play and he cited allegations that the winger had not trained enough, and did not show commitment.

The 23-year-old was sent on loan at Borussia Dortmund after his big bust-up with the Dutch manager and it may be a challenge working under him especially now that they do not see eye to eye.

The player has weighed an option of joining Borussia Dortmund permanently if the Man United manager will not be fired. Manchester has been given a transfer deal for the player to return to the club permanently.

He refused to apologize to the manager for calling him a liar and this has caused additional tension with the manager, which might affect their relationship if he decides to return to the club and affect his performance as well, giving him the option to accept the permanent contract with Dortmund.

Wilcox might be joining Old Trafford this summer and having worked closely with Sancho at Manchester City academy, the winger has a perfect chance of joining his favourite team and his performance might even improve having a conducive playing environment.

Sancho secured a transfer to Manchester United but he had challenged adapting to the club and was sent on loan to Borussia Dortmund.

Sancho’s career journey

Born in London, he joined Watford’s youth team at the age of seven for four years before moving to Manchester City’s academy. At the age of seventeen, he had a breakthrough by joining Borussia Dortmund in Germany.

His talent blossomed in the Bundesliga and his eye for goal made him a fan favorite. He played for the club for four seasons and during this time, he made 137 appearances, scoring 50 goals and also lifted the 2019 DFL-Supercup in 2019 and the DFB-Pokal the following year. 

Another turning point came when he was signed by Manchester United in a big-money transfer deal, though replicating his Dortmund form turned out to be challenging, and this saw him on loan at his former club Borussia Dortmund.

He represented the England youth teams and won the Player of the Tournament award at the 2017 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, since making his senior debut, he has earned 22 caps for the national team.

What transpired between Manchester United boss Eric ten Hag and Sancho?

The two have had a public dispute, a tension that arose after Sancho was left out of the squad for a crucial match, with Hag stating that his training performances were below standard, implying a lack of commitment.

Sancho’s return to Manchester United might be faced with challenges as he and the boss can not see eye to eye which might affect his performance. In his opinion, he would want to sign a permanent deal with Borussia Dortmund or if he will return to Man United, he suggests that the manager be fired.

Wilcox could be Sancho’s saviour

Having worked closely, Wilcox could recommend Sancho to the Manchester United team. This will be a good opportunity to showcase his talent in an environment that is conducive as he earlier stated he would want to go back to United if the current manager Erik Ten Hag steps down.
