  • Jadon Sancho reportedly turned up late for his medical tests at Borussia Dortmund
  • The winger departed Manchester United following a dispute with Erik ten Hag
  • Sancho had previously been fined and suspended due to indiscipline issues

Jadon Sancho has amused fans after he reportedly showed up late for his medical tests following his move to Borussia Dortmund.

The winger finally got his move out of Manchester United after his former club moved in for him for a loan deal until the end of the season.

Sancho had fallen out with Erik ten Hag after the Red Devils' Premier League game against Arsenal last September. The manager criticized the English international for not displaying sufficient effort in training.

He fired back with a social media message (that has since been deleted) stating that he won't accept being used as a scapegoat. This back-and-forth started the winger's banishment from first-team activities after he refused to apologise to ten Hag.

Sports Brief has previously documented Sancho's young, troubled career, from his days in the Manchester City academy to the Three Lions' set-up under Gareth Southgate.

Among the issues highlighted then was his lateness to training and team meetings. In 2019, he was fined 100,000 euros for showing up late in Dortmund.

Sancho arrives late for Dortmund medical

After his exile in Manchester, one might have thought the 23-year-old would return to Germany with a point to prove. But from the initial videos from his first day back in Dortmund, maybe that's not the case.

Sancho is observed touring the dressing room before undergoing a medical, with a voice in the background confirming,

"Latest medical check ever."

The winger apologised as he works on a treadmill. Fans were quick to jump on the development, with @UTDShakes saying,

"Jadon Sancho hasn't even been at Dortmund for 24 hours and is already late. But apparently, Ten Hag is the problem."

@UTDKara said;

"Sancho apologised already for coming late for his medical but couldn't apologise to Erik Ten Hag. Make it make sense."

@Musteia said:

"Jadon Sancho being extremely late to his medical is the most on-brand thing ever."

Dortmund head coach, Edin Terzic will be hoping Sancho can rediscover his form and help his side climb up the ladder from their current fifth place standing on the Bundesliga table.

Dortmund taunt United after getting Sancho

Sports Brief has also reported on how Dortmund took a swipe at Manchester United after unveiling him on January 11.

The German club used the identical social media message the Red Devils had used when they signed Sancho in 2021.
