Jadon Sancho has re-joined Borussia Dortmund on loan from Manchester United, the German club confirmed on Thursday, bringing an end to the attacker's exile from football over a disciplinary issue.
United will pay a portion of Sancho's wages during his loan, according to reports in British media.
The England international joined United from Dortmund for 85 million euros (AED 342.8 million) in August 2021, signing a five-year deal, but failed to hold down a regular spot and has made just three appearances this season after becoming embroiled in a row with manager Erik ten Hag.
"When I came into the dressing room today, it felt like coming home," Sancho said.
"I can't wait to see my teammates again, go out on the pitch, play football with a smile on my face, prepare goals, score goals and help qualify for the Champions League," he added.
