Jadon Sancho is on the verge of a return to Borussia Dortmund and the winger’s arrival could see one of the German club’s stars move the other way to Man United.
The Englishman is eager to move back to Germany and according to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, both Man United and Dortmund are actively in talks over a six-month loan deal with the Premier League club paying part of the winger’s wages.
This will eventually lead to Sancho leaving Old Trafford for good in the summer and his arrival could see Donyell Malen leave the Bundesliga club during the current window, reports Fabrizio Romano.

There were reports of Man United being interested in Malen in the build-up to the January transfer window and that the Holland star was offered to the Manchester club for just £26m.
Malen has been rotated a lot by Edin Terzic this season and is not one of Dortmund’s most important players but he could still be a useful asset to Erik ten Hag.
The 24-year-old is a versatile forward which the Man United boss needs and the price tag is not very high, which means that it is essentially a low-risk move.
