Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic delivers 24-year-old Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho verdict ahead of Man United return after UEFA Champions League defeat against Real Madrid One of the biggest questions on the minds of Manchester United fans everywhere is whether Jadon Sancho will be returning to Old Trafford next season. And now, the Dortmund manager, Edin Terzic, has finally weighed in on the situation, offering a sobering verdict on the English winger’s future that’s sure to set tongues wagging among the Red Devils Fans.
Edin Terzic, the head coach of Borussia Dortmund, firmly believes that Jadon Sancho, now with Manchester United, is destined to compete in another Champions League final during his career. Despite Manchester United’s recent 2-0 loss to Real Madrid at Wembley, Sancho’s potential remains indisputable.
Sancho’s career has been on an upward trajectory in recent months, showing signs of a strong resurgence. His ambition was evident: he aimed to conclude his loan spell with Dortmund by capturing their first Champions League title since 1997. Although Dortmund delivered a commendable performance, they couldn’t stop Real Madrid’s relentless drive for their 15th trophy in the competition.
The match saw the Spanish giants score two crucial goals in the final 20 minutes, courtesy of Vinicius Junior and Dani Carvajal. Real Madrid, benefiting from a bit of luck in the first half, managed to keep the game level at 0-0 until halftime, setting the stage for their eventual victory.
Looking ahead, while Sancho’s exact future remains uncertain, Terzic is confident that the winger will have another shot at Europe’s grandest stage. He believes a return to the Champions League final is inevitable for Sancho.
During the match, Sancho was a key player on the right wing for Dortmund, playing 87 minutes before being substituted by Jamie Bynoe-Gittens. Despite Dortmund’s defeat, Terzic praised the Manchester United loanee in the post-match press conference, highlighting Sancho’s significant impact on the team throughout his time with them.
“In the past six months, Jadon has been phenomenal for us,” Terzic stated. “Although it took some time for him to regain his form, his inherent quality and skill were evident. His presence on the field immediately elevated our gameplay.”
Terzic emphasized that Sancho’s return to form not only boosted his own performance but also positively influenced his teammates. Describing Sancho as a natural talent, Terzic noted that his first touch and technical abilities are instinctive and require no second thought.
Reflecting on the significant occasion, Terzic chose to focus on the present rather than speculate about the future. He highlighted the importance of Sancho playing in a Champions League final in his hometown, recognizing it as a pivotal moment in the player’s career. Terzic expressed his gratitude for having Sancho on the team, noting the positive impact he has in the locker room and the joy he brings to his teammates.
Terzic concluded by reaffirming his pleasure in working with Sancho, underscoring the winger’s integral role within the squad. Despite the setback in the final, the experience has only strengthened the belief that Sancho’s journey in top-tier European football is far from over.
Jadon Sancho, currently a Manchester United player, made a significant appearance for Borussia Dortmund in their Champions League final against Real Madrid at Wembley on Saturday, demonstrating the talent and promise that continue to define his growing career. Terzic remains optimistic that Sancho’s best days in European football are yet to come.
