- Sancho is loaned to Borussia Dortmund until the end of the season
- It comes after his public row with Man United manager Ten Hag
- CHRIS SUTTON: I suspect Jadon Sancho will outlast Erik ten Hag at Man United – It all starts
Jadon Sancho caused a stir on social media after he was filmed apologizing in a video posted by Borussia Dortmund following his move from Manchester United.
The England international returned to the Bundesliga on a £3m loan fee after being banned from the United squad.
Erik ten Hag wanted an apology from Sancho after the winger insisted on social media that claims by the Dutchman that his training level was not up to standard were ‘completely untrue’.
The Dutchman did not receive the ‘sorry’ that could have led to Sancho’s return to the United squad.
However, less than 24 hours after Sancho returned to Borussia Dortmund, a video of him saying ‘sorry’ twice within seconds went viral.

Sancho refused to apologize after insisting Erik ten Hag’s claims about his training standards were ‘completely untrue’ – leading to his loan move from Old Trafford
The video posted by the Bundesliga side shows Sancho being shown around the facilities in Dortmund and taking his medical records with him.
Sancho is seen riding the cycling machine as someone in the background says: ‘Last medical check ever.’
The winger laughs off the comment before saying: ‘Sorry guys, I’m sorry.’
Sancho is then shown walking past a clock that reads the time 23:41, showing what time in the day his medical treatment was.
The video caught the attention of football fans, who made light of Sancho apologizing to Dortmund staff when he refused to apologize to Ten Hag.
One fan wrote, “Bro already learned how to say sorry… if only he would have learned it three months ago and none of this would have happened.”
Another supporter commented: ‘Making sure ETH can hear him apologize is insane.’
@SunshineFC15 posted on Twitter: ‘Jadon Sancho actually said sorry twice in less than a second. I’m screaming.’
Fans have joked on social media that Sancho has ‘learned to say sorry’
A Chelsea fan said: ‘Sancho said sorry twice in three seconds but couldn’t say sorry to Erik ten Hag. It was really deeper than we thought.’
One joked: “Bro is already changing,” while another added: “Bro deliberately didn’t say sorry for playing the UCL (UEFA Champions League) knockouts.”
However, United fans joked about the nature of why he said sorry, with one writing: “The man was late for his medical,” while another commented: “Last medical check ever, he’s back up his old foot back.’
Sancho’s timekeeping at United was under debate, with former teammate Nemanja Matic claiming the winger was ‘always late’ to training.
The deal includes up to £3.4 million in add-ons, based on Dortmund’s progress in the Champions League and qualification for Europe next season, as well as the number of games Sancho plays.
There is no option for Dortmund to buy the 23-year-old at the end of the loan period
There is no option for the German club to buy the 23-year-old at the end of the loan, having sold him to United for £73 million in 2021. Mail Sport revealed that United will have to contribute £100,000 to Sancho’s £295,000. -a week’s wages, but both club and player will be relieved to draw a line under a saga that has been dragging on for months.
Sancho said: ‘When I entered the (Dortmund) dressing room today it felt like coming home. I know the club inside and out, I have always had a close relationship with the fans and I have never lost touch with those in charge.
“I can’t wait to see my teammates again, get on the field, play football with a smile on my face, prepare goals, score goals and help the team qualify for the Champions League.”
