Sancho’s initial stint with the German side was nothing short of sensational, and it was these performances that drew the attention of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Starting his career in Manchester City’s academy, the English winger transitioned to Dortmund’s reserve team before making a significant impact in the first team at just 17 years old. From 2017 to 2021, he showcased electrifying skills on both the left and right wings, establishing himself as one of Europe’s most exciting prospects.

His journey took an unexpected turn when he joined United in 2021, becoming part of a trio of high-profile signings alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane.

The signings fueled expectations of a title-contending season. However, things didn’t pan out as anticipated, leading to the departure of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer just three months into the campaign. Under interim manager Ralf Rangnick, Sancho faced a shifting role, with the German emphasizing the need for the then-21-year-old to take initiative:

“We can give him a helping hand and show him we are trying to accompany him and give him all the necessary assistance that he needs, but in the end, it’s up to him to take the next steps.”
