Following his transfer to LA Galaxy in Major League Soccer, Jadon Sancho, a former Borussia Dortmund star, shared a brief yet deeply meaningful message with Marco Reus. Reus, who had a remarkable 12-year tenure at Signal Iduna Park, had been a key figure in Dortmund’s squad. Sancho, currently with Manchester United, had the opportunity to play alongside Reus during two separate periods at the club. This summer, Reus, now 35 years old, left Dortmund on a free transfer and is preparing for a new adventure in the United States. His time at Dortmund was notable, with 391 Bundesliga appearances, 156 goals, and 118 assists to his name.
On the other hand, Sancho’s situation at Manchester United remains uncertain. After a public confrontation with manager Erik ten Hag, the 24-year-old winger was removed from the first-team squad and subsequently loaned back to Dortmund in January. Sancho originally moved from Dortmund to Manchester United three years ago. Although there have been speculations about Paris Saint-Germain’s interest in acquiring Sancho this summer, no formal offers have been made.
In a gesture that spoke volumes about his respect for Reus, Sancho took to Instagram as soon as the news of Reus’s move to LA Galaxy broke. Reus’s new team, LA Galaxy, is a club famously associated with United legend David Beckham’s later career. Sancho’s tribute was subtle yet significant—he posted an image of a goat emoji, a symbol of greatness, reflecting his admiration for Reus. This simple act of posting a goat emoji underlines the deep respect and appreciation Sancho has for his former Dortmund teammate.
Sancho’s gesture emphasizes the strong bond that existed between them during their shared time at Dortmund. Meanwhile, Sancho’s future with Manchester United remains in flux. Despite the speculation surrounding a potential move to PSG, no substantial interest has been confirmed. The emotional nod to Reus underscores the camaraderie and mutual respect that characterized their relationship during their time together at Borussia Dortmund.
