Manchester United are set to earn some extra cash from the Champions League, all thanks to Borussia Dortmund.

The Red Devils have endured a frustrating run of form and results, with Erik ten Hag's charges in danger of missing out on Champions League football at the end of the season.

United further recorded a dismal display in the European competition, as they failed to go past the group stages.

Ten Hag's charges were unable to make it to the knockouts from a group which included Bayern Munich, FC Copenhagen, and Galatasaray.

Despite their early elimination, the Premier League side are still set to make some significant cash from the competition due to Dortmund's impressive run.

According to The Times, United could earn as much as £3.4 million after they inserted a unique clause in Jadon Sancho's deal that saw him rejoin Dortmund on loan in January.

It is understood that other clauses in the deal are based on Sancho's appearances for the German club during his short stay.

Dortmund sealed a place in the semi-final of the Champions League after they stunned Atletico Madrid 5-4 on aggregate last Tuesday.

Will Sancho return to Man United?

Meanwhile, it remains to be seen if Sancho will continue playing at Old Trafford once he returns from his loan stint with Dortmund.

According to beIN Sports, the winger is open to playing for the Red Devils once again, provided that ten Hag is not the manager.

The duo fell out last September, with the player publicly differing with the manager after the Dutchman claimed he was not impressed with the forward's performance in training.

The former Ajax boss is already facing an uncertain future with the Manchester club ahead of the summer, with a section of fans calling for his sacking.
