Manchester United have reportedly rejected an approach from Borussia Dortmund to take Jadon Sancho on loan.
In the summer of 2021, the England international moved from the Bundesliga team to Old Trafford for a cost of £75 million ($95 million).
At a time, he was regarded as one of the most promising young players in all of football.
But for the former City academy star, things have not gone according to plan back in Manchester.
Sancho only managed five goals in his injury-plagued debut campaign with the Red Devils, and his productivity only increased to seven the following campaign when Erik ten Hag benched him during the World Cup break and had him practice separately from the rest of the first-team group.
The Daily Star reports that Dortmund have now asked about a possible return to Germany for Sancho on a season-long deal, but that approach has been given short shrift.
Sancho previously registered 50 goals and 64 assists through 137 appearances for BVB.

While Manchester United have turned down a loan approach for Sancho, they are leaving themselves open to offers.
It is suggested that a bid of around £45m ($57m) would tempt them into parting ways with the 23-year-old forward.
