Erling Haaland shares throwback Dortmund image alongside Manchester United star Jadon Sancho amid latter's links to German club

Amidst Manchester United attacker Jadon Sancho's reported links with his former club Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City striker Erling Haaland shared an image of the two while playing for BvB.

The two attackers have experienced contrasting fortunes since leaving the Bundesliga side and arriving in the Premier League. Sancho, 23, landed at United in the summer of 2021 but has struggled to get going.

In 82 games across competitions, he has bagged just 12 goals and six assists. In three games this season, Sancho is yet to make a goal contribution and hasn't appeared since August after a public fallout with manager Erik ten Hag. As per Sky Sports, he's linked with a move back to BvB.

Meanwhile, Haaland has made a rousing start to life on English shores since arriving at City in 2022. His 52-goal campaign inspired the Cityzens to their maiden continental treble. The Norwegian has started this campaign in a similar vein, bagging 19 goals and five assists in 22 games across competitions.

Recently, Haaland shared an Instagram story featuring a picture with his former BvB teammate Sancho while at the German club, captioning it:

"Proper baller that"

Here's the screenshot of his Instagram story:

As per Sky Sports, Dortmund are looking to sign Manchester United attacker Sancho on loan for the rest of the season. BvB's loan fee and total financial commitment in the deal will be around €3.5 million.
