DORTMUND, Germany -- Jadon Sancho was a man alone during a miserable autumn in Manchester. Ostracised by Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag and forced to train, eat and change away from his teammates, sometimes taking his lunch break in his car, the €85 million signing was left wondering where his once-glittering career was headed. Six months later, he is 90 minutes away from winning the UEFA Champions League with Borussia Dortmund.
Life can come at you pretty fast, and Sancho's story of sporting redemption is already complete, regardless of whether he walks off the Wembley pitch on Saturday with a winners' medal following Dortmund's clash with Real Madrid.
