Jadon Sancho was reportedly benched for Borussia Dortmund's Bundesliga game this weekend as 'his head is already with Manchester United'.
Dortmund faced RB Leipzig on Saturday afternoon and Sancho found himself on the bench as Lucien Favre tinkered with his team.
German journalist Heiko Wasser hinted that the England international found himself on the sidelines thanks to interest from United.
Dass @Sanchooo10 zunächst auf der Bank sitzt ist völlig ok, er ist mit seinem Kopf eh schon bei @ManUtd. Noch dringender hätten mMn aber @JulianBrandt und @axelwitsel28 eine Pause nötig, dummerweise fehlen da im Kader die Alternativen. @BVB #RBLBVB

The tweet above reads: "That Sancho sitting on the bench at first is completely ok, he is already with his head at Man United."
Wasser then went on to tweet following the game and explained he is also a Borussia Dortmund fan who hopes the 20-year-old doesn't move.
1/2 Hello my dear supporters of @ManUtd. Yes, earlier today I wrote that @Sanchooo10 with his head is already at #OldTrafford. But as a @BVB fan I really hope, he will think about it again. Having seen 10-12 ManU games this season I really doubt, he will

2/2 be happy there. With the exception of @MarcusRashford I hardly see anyone who would, talking about skills and speed, could become a playing partner of Jadon. So leaving #Dortmund could and would only be for money or home-sickness. HE SHOULD STAY HERE. 😂

Sancho's move to the bench was surprising considering he missed the first three matches of the Bundesliga restart with a groin injury.
Following his return to the starting eleven, he netted a hat-trick in a 6-1 win against Paderborn.
Saturday's game belonged to Erling Haaland however as the Norweigan teenager netted both goals.
He opened the scoring at the Red Bull Arena by finishing off a flowing move that begun in the Dortmund half.

Dortmund lead Leipzig after a beautifully delicate assist from Gio Reyna 🙌
Great work from Hummels and Brandt in the build-up too, superb team goal! pic.twitter.com/nDDZFGliau
Great work from Mats Hummels and Julian Brandt in the build-up allowed Giovanni Reyna to delicately set up Haaland who made no mistake in front of goal.
Haaland kept his cool to score his 43rd goal in all competitions this season.
Do you think Jadon Sancho will move to Manchester United this summer?
