United Eyes Loan Move for Struggling Attacker, Potentially Involving Dutch Forward Donnell Malen
Manchester United is exploring the possibility of a thrilling swap deal with Borussia Dortmund involving their winger, Jadon Sancho. The English club is currently in discussions with the Bundesliga side regarding a proposed six-month loan for Sancho, whom they signed for £73 million from Dortmund in July 2021.
Sancho has faced challenges at Old Trafford, with only 12 goals and six assists in 82 appearances since his arrival. Struggling to secure a regular spot in the team, the 23-year-old has not played for United since August, citing being a “scapegoat” under manager Erik ten Hag. The Red Devils are now actively negotiating a loan deal for Sancho, even willing to contribute to his wages to facilitate the move.
Reports suggest that Dortmund would pay less than £3 million, including a loan fee and wages, to re-sign Sancho for the remainder of the season. This agreement could potentially pave the way for a permanent return to the Westfalenstadion if Sancho can rediscover his form. United, facing a drop in the player’s market value, would benefit from him excelling at Dortmund.
Erik ten Hag is reportedly considering a player exchange with Dortmund in the summer, with Donnell Malen on United’s shortlist. The Dutch forward, valued at £26 million, could potentially be part of a cash-plus-player exchange, providing a solution for both clubs. United aims to strengthen their attacking options, while Dortmund looks to bolster their squad and manage Sancho’s potential transfer fee.
Anthony Martial’s imminent departure and uncertainties around Mason Greenwood and Antony create a pressing need for reinforcements in United’s attack. Donnell Malen, known for his versatility and quality, could be a valuable addition to address the team’s struggles this season.
With tensions between Sancho and Ten Hag apparent, the proposed swap deal may present a strategic move for Manchester United, acquiring a hungry and determined player in Donnell Malen while potentially rejuvenating Sancho’s career at his former club.
