Borussia Dortmund icon Paul Lambert has tipped Jadon Sancho to stay with the Champions League finalists and turn down a return to Manchester United.

There is no option in Sancho’s loan deal for Dortmund to purchase him outright, but they are expected to negotiate with the Red Devils over that matter, with Lambert in favour of a permanent stay in the Bundesliga.

“At Dortmund, Sancho has gone into a really good dressing room, a good culture with good guys and he gets respect,” Lambert explained to Betway.

“At Man Utd it could have been an absolute nightmare for him. He may have not liked the way it was or it might not have been what he thought it would be.

“Being back at Dortmund, with some of the players that were there when he left. He’s playing with one of the biggest clubs in European football without a shadow of doubt.

“Why would he want to go back to United? He’s in the Champions League semi-final, he could be a Champions League winner.”
