A German news outlet blasted Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho after another underwhelming showing in Borussia Dortmund's 3-2 defeat to Hoffenheim on Sunday.
Sancho, who turns 24 next month, rejoined the Bundesliga club last month, signing on loan for the rest of the season. The winger previously spent four years at Dortmund before joining United in July 2022 in a deal worth £72.9million.
After a public fallout with United manager Erik ten Hag back in September, Sancho was banished from all first-team related activity, last playing for the club on August 26. He did not play again until making his second Dortmund debut on January 13.

Having gone so long without playing, it was only natural that Sancho would require time to get back up to speed, but his performances for Dortmund thus far have been even more underwhelming than first thought. Just days after being informed he was capable of better by head coach Edin Terzic, he produced a lacklustre performance against Hoffenheim that saw him withdrew after 75 minutes.
His performance was, as a result, heavily criticised by German newspaper Der Westen, who described him as the "worst player on the pitch".
Their assessment said: "BVB was so happy when Jadon Sancho was brought back during the last winter transfer period. The prodigal son is finally back.
“He really sent the fans into a state of euphoria. A few weeks later there is no sign of it anymore. Against TSG Hoffenheim, the supporters hoped that the 23-year-old would finally score his first goal. But they were disappointed once again.
