Jadon Sancho has seemingly caught the eyes of Zinedine Zidane and Jude Bellingham with his performance for Borussia Dortmund.
The England superstar endured a difficult maiden campaign at Old Trafford due to injury issues and managerial changes in 2021.
The arrival of Erik ten Hag injected some hope initially but in his second season, things went downhill quickly, with the United manager pushing him away from the first-team fold after a public fallout.
Sancho eventually returned to Borussia Dortmund, where he has seemingly rediscovered his scintillating self, mesmerizing fans with his dribbling skills.
In particular, the Englishman has shown his class in the Champions League, delivering exciting performances against Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. In a Neymar-esque display, he toyed with PSG players in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, completing 13 take-ons.

On his day Sancho is comfortably one of the most effective wide playmakers in Europe, and it appears his talents are recognized by the likes of Zinedine Zidane and Jude Bellingham.
Currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund until the remainder of the season, Sancho is unlikely to return to United under Ten Hag’s reign. As such, a sale is being seen as the most likely outcome this summer.
According to Spanish outlet Defensa Central (via Football 365), Zidane and Bellingham have ‘recommended’ Real Madrid to take a look at the United loanee ahead of the summer transfer window.

It is thought that the pair believe Sancho ‘would make a career wearing the white jersey.’ However, Los Blancos president Florentino Perez isn’t very interested, making any move from the La Liga champions unlikely.
Even if Perez was keen on Sancho, his signing would make little sense for Madrid, who already possess a number of elite wingers, including Rodrygo. On top of that, they are expected to add Kylian Mbappe to their frontline.
