BORUSSIA DORTMUND chief Michael Zorc has backed misfiring Jadon Sancho to return to goalscoring ways this season.
The England winger, 20, has scored just three goals and assisted a further four in 12 games after being strongly linked with a £108million move to Manchester United last summer.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was desperate to bring Sancho back to the Premier League after he scored 20 goals and bagged 19 assists last term.
The campaign before saw Sancho score 13 and assist 16 more, making him one of Europe’s top forwards.
A move to Old Trafford never happened after United refused to meet his buyout clause.
And Sancho is now struggling to live up to his glittering reputation this term.
But Dortmund sporting director Zorc believes it’s just a matter of time until Sancho regains his confidence.
He said: “I believe it is easy to see he is not in the best of form.
“I can tell he tries hard when he’s subbed onto the pitch.
“He tries to force the lightness and fluidity that he has onto himself.
“Jadon is a player who doesn’t talk a lot but who delivers answers on the pitch.
“Whether this is tomorrow, in a week or at some other point, I don’t know. What I do know is that it will happen.”
Whether United return for Sancho remains to be seen.
SunSport understands Leicester City’s Harvey Barnes has emerged as an option for Solskjaer.
But he could cost £60m and the Foxes are reluctant to sell this January.
