'I'll always love Pep but Dortmund was best for me' - Sancho opens up on Man City exit

Jadon Sancho has revealed he will "always love" Pep Guardiola, but felt that leaving Manchester City to join Borussia Dortmund was best for his continued development.

The 19-year-old completed a £10 million ($13m) switch to Westfalenstadion in the summer of 2017, ending his two-year stay at the Etihad Stadium.

The mercurial winger impressed in City's academy side during his time at the club but failed to earn a single first-team appearance before Dortmund swooped for his signature.
