German football legend Lothar Matthaus has slammed the decision of Borussia Dortmund to sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United.
Sancho left Old Trafford during the January transfer window to return to Dortmund on loan. The England international had signed for United from the Bundesliga club in 2021 in a £73million deal.
However, this season saw Sancho make just three appearances for United under manager Erik ten Hag. The forward scored seven times in 41 appearances last season in Ten Hag's first campaign in charge of the Reds, but fell out of favour with the United boss this term and was banished from first-team duties.
Sancho's last appearance for United came against Nottingham Forest at the end of August. Since his move to Dortmund, the 23-year-old has made six appearances for the Bundesliga club, including most recently against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League.

The on-loan United forward has two assists to his name but is yet to score a goal since his return to Germany. Sancho also featured in last weekend's draw with Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, which saw Dortmund drop points for the second time in the last three games.
Matthaus, who made more than 400 appearances for Bayern Munich during his illustrious playing career, has criticised the decision of Dortmund to sign Sancho. Matthaus pointed to Sancho's lack of minutes this season as a reason why Dortmund should have reconsidered a move for the United forward.
"Sancho cannot be the saviour for me," said Matthaus on Sky 90, via Ruhr 24. "This has been exaggerated by the media again. He didn't play for a year.
