Former Manchester United star, Rio Ferdinand has emphasized that the prospect of Jadon Sancho rejoining the club depends solely on the departure of manager Erik ten Hag.
Sancho, who had a turbulent relationship with Ten Hag, opted to return to Borussia Dortmund earlier this year.
Despite his mixed performance at Old Trafford since his £73 million transfer in 2021, Sancho showcased his talent during his loan spell with Dortmund, notably contributing to their Champions League journey.
While speculation arose about a permanent Dortmund move for the 24-year-old, recent form has fueled talks of his potential stay at United.
However, Ferdinand believes Sanchos return is unlikely as long as Ten Hag remains in charge, asserting that such a move would undermine the Dutchman following their previous discord.
Ferdinand expressed his sentiments on TNT Sports before Dortmunds Champions League semi-final second 1-0 win against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, stating, I think the only way he goes back to Manchester United is if Erik ten Hag isn't there.
I don't think they can undermine the manager and let a player not apologize and then bring him back.
