Manchester United's recent draw with Burnley dashed their immediate Champions League dreams, delaying hopes of a top-four finish until at least 2026, according to Manchester World.
Despite this setback, one United player is still chasing a Champions League win this season.
Jadon Sancho, currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund, stands at the chance as Dortmund faces Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals.
Sancho's recent performances for Dortmund have been promising, as proven by a spectacular goal in their recent match against RB Leipzig.
With three goals and an assist since rejoining in January, Sancho seems to have found his rhythm in the German club's environment.
However, doubts lingers whether his success in Germany will translate back to the Premier League with Manchester United.
While Erik ten Hag's tenure remains uncertain, discussions about Sancho's potential return continues with United insiders hinting at possible managerial changes post-season, leaving Sancho's future open to revision.
Financial considerations also play a crucial role. United's initial £73 million investment in Sancho may lead to a significant loss if he departs permanently or on loan with a buy-back option.
Wage negotiations further complicate matters, with potential pay cuts or subsidy discussions looming.
On the bright side, United benefits from Dortmund's Champions League success through contractual bonuses.
These bonuses not only offset Sancho's loan costs but also strengthen United's financial standing, aiding compliance with financial regulation
