Sancho Returns to Dortmund on Loan

Jadon Sancho, the 23-year-old English footballer, has rejoined Borussia Dortmund on loan for the remainder of the season. This move comes after being frozen out by Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.

Sancho's Football Icon

During an interview with Borussia Dortmund, Sancho revealed the identity of his football idol. He expressed his admiration for former Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho and explained that the number ten, which he will be wearing at Dortmund, was his favorite number growing up.

Inspired by Ronaldinho

Sancho stated that Ronaldinho's influence on his style of play was significant. He mentioned watching Ronaldinho's YouTube clips and how they shaped his own skills on the field. When Dortmund offered him the number ten, Sancho jumped at the opportunity without hesitation.

A Missed Opportunity at Manchester United

Sancho previously wore the number seven shirt during his first spell at Dortmund. However, at Manchester United, the number was already claimed by Marcus Rashford, and Cristiano Ronaldo's return to the club secured the iconic number for himself. As a result, Sancho opted for the number 25 at Old Trafford.

Sancho's return to Dortmund and his choice of the number ten demonstrates the impact of football idols on young players and the importance of finding inspiration in the game.
