What did Kehl say?

“His qualities don't need to be described. He has regained his smile in the six months with us. We will try everything. But Manchester United also sees how well he is playing at the moment. Maybe they also want to sell him for profit. Or bring him back.“

“His qualities don't need to be described,” Kehl told Welt.

“He has regained his smile in the six months with us. We will try everything.

“But Manchester United also sees how well he is playing at the moment. Maybe they also want to sell him for profit. Or bring him back.“

Sancho was in brilliant form during Dortmund’s 1-0 win over PSG in the Champions League semi final first leg on Wednesday.

Sancho joined Man Utd from Dortmund for €85 million in the summer of 2021.

But he has been a major disappointment at Old Trafford.

He has scored just 12 goals in 82 appearances for United and has regularly been a bench player during his time at the club.

Earlier this season, Sancho was frozen out of the squad at Man Utd.

It came after manager Erik ten Hag criticised Sancho publicly for his poor performances in training, which was followed by the winger essentially calling his manager a liar on social media.

Sancho was not called up again after this incident and was barred from training with the first team, as well as using their facilities and canteen.

Sancho was also deleted from the team’s WhatsApp group by Ten Hag.

United transfer listed him and then sent him on loan to Dortmund in January.
