Man Utd set for Jadon Sancho windfall after Dortmund’s Champions League progress

Manchester United could pocket up to £3.4m from Jadon Sancho's loan to Borussia Dortmund if targets – including reaching the Champions League final – are met by the end of the season.

Sancho's United career was put on hold in September following a highly publicised falling out with manager Erik ten Hag, which saw the winger return to his former club on loan in January.

The 24-year-old has made 14 appearances for Dortmund since then, starting all four of the club's Champions League knockout games against PSV Eindhoven and Atletico Madrid.

Set to receive at least some of it so far, United will get the full pot if Dortmund go on to reach the Champions League final – by beating Paris Saint-Germain in their semi-final tie next month, if Sancho reaches an appearance target, and if Dortmund qualify for next season's Champions League.

There remains uncertainty over Sancho's longer-term future beyond his loan. Dortmund do not hold an option to make the deal permanent, with any such approach requiring a fresh set of negotiations. United are expected to make a fresh judgement about Sancho's valuation if the intention is that he continues his career elsewhere next season. A reintegration at United still isn't out of the question.

Ten Hag was asked on Friday if he watched Dortmund's Champions League quarter-final and the Dutchman confirmed that he had done.

"Of course, I follow international football and follow the players on loan at other clubs," he said. "It was a fantastic game, Dortmund against Atletico Madrid. It was a great performance from Dortmund and for Jadon, it's good news. He made his contribution to the result for Dortmund."
