An Arsenal legend has recommended that rival club Dortmund sign Jadon Sancho Former France international and Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit, 54, spoke to sports betting company Grosvenor Sports on Thursday (Aug. 14) about Sancho, who is currently on loan at Dortmund after leaving the Gunners, saying he was impressed with him while commentating on the Champions League: “He looks like a new player, very fit, slim and explosive. “He's like dynamite on the pitch, so he's quite explosive alongside Karim Adeyemi (22, Dortmund) on the left flank, so it's not easy to keep up with him,” he added. Sancho was an outspoken defender of coach Eric ten Haag, who left him out of the starting lineup against Arsenal in September last year. He eventually had a falling out with ten Haag and was sent out on loan to his hometown club Borussia Dortmund in the January transfer window. It was a call back. [토토사이트](https://www.safetotosite.pro/) Just a few months after his return to Dortmund, Sancho reached his first UEFA Champions League final by beating Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Notably, Sancho completed 12 dribbles in the semifinal first leg alone, surpassing the record set by Lionel Messi (37, Inter Miami) against Manchester United during the 2020-2021 season while playing for Barcelona. Sancho will have to return to United after this season. However, he has made it clear that he will not return to United as long as Van Gaal is in charge. Some media outlets have suggested that Sancho has no intention of returning to United, whether Van Gaal stays or not. Sancho has already been linked with a move away. Dortmund are said to be unable to afford his transfer fee and weekly wages. Sancho is wanted by Juventus, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and others. Petit continued: “He's back to his best. If Arsenal want Sancho, why shouldn't they,” he said, before pointing out that ‘if you put the best player in the world at the moment at Man United, they will be mediocre in two months.’ United legend Rio Ferdinand, 46, also praised Sancho in a recent British “team talk,” saying, “He's shaking and cooking the best players,” and “He's putting people on the floor or making them dance. “What he did today was ridiculous,” he said of his performance against PSG. We probably never saw him like this before he went to Dortmund,” he added. “Sancho is not just a dribbler. He's a footballer who wants to play one-two, who wants to be part of the game, who wants to dictate the tempo,” he said. “What I saw today, more than anything else, was something I haven't seen and that every United fan wants to see. “Sancho playing cage football,” he said, adding: “He's got the arrogance and a little bit of cockiness that comes from being in a cage. I've sat here and said I think there's a bit of that in him, but we didn't see it,” he lamented. Meanwhile, United are looking to sell Sancho this summer. The player is valued at £40 million and United are also reportedly planning to sell Bruno Fernandes at the end of Euro 2024.
