MANCHESTER UNITED will not include an option to buy in Jadon Sancho’s loan move to Borussia Dortmund, according to reports.
The winger is set to end his Old Trafford exile by rejoining his former club on a six-month loan deal.
Sancho, 23, has been frozen out at Old Trafford since falling out with boss Erik ten Hag in September.
Ten Hag, 53, criticised Sancho’s training levels after dropping him for a trip to Arsenal, subsequently banishing him from the first team when the England international refuted his claims.
Sancho has since trained with the reserves, even being banned from the first team canteen after refusing to apologise.
This week it emerged that the United outcast is on the verge of rejoining Dortmund on loan, with BVB paying just £3.4million to cover the deal and a portion of Sancho’s wages, which are said to be around £300,000-a-week.

The Bundesliga club received £73m for Sancho back in 2021.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Man Utd do not want to include an option to buy in the loan deal.
He adds that new partial owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe accepts that Sancho’s value is not high at the moment, and do not want to allow the opportunity for Dortmund to get him back on the cheap.
His future will instead be decided in June, when he will have two years remaining on his United contract.
