Man Utd loanee Jadon Sancho has rediscovered his form playing for Borussia Dortmund.

Jadon Sancho says the support he has received at Borussia Dortmund has helped him rediscover his form after a difficult time at Manchester United.

The 24-year-old was frozen out by Erik ten Hag last summer after a falling out with the United manager, before he left the club on loan in January to return to former club Dortmund.

Sancho has endured a mixed spell since he went back to Germany, but has saved his best performances for the biggest stage of all, as he helped Dortmund reach the Champions League final.

The English forward will be looking to prove a lot of his doubters wrong when he faces Real Madrid at Wembley this weekend and ahead of the game he was asked what has changed for him since he switched clubs earlier in the year.

“It’s a big family, everyone respects each other, everyone helps each other," he told TNT Sports. "Especially for me, a young player, you need this foundation and especially the fans.”

“The fans always support me through good and bad times, and that is what keeps me - and young players - motivated to do their best.”

He added: "I always knew one day I would play in a game like this. "For it to be London, and for me to be only 24, to get my first experience in a Champions League final is actually surreal. It hasn't really sunk in yet, but when we travel to London the occasion will start to hit me."
