Erik ten Hag finds solution to Man Utd problem with Jadon Sancho's new role

Manchester United star Jadon Sancho has not quite managed to hit the heights expected of him at Old Trafford - but Erik ten Hag’s new role for the forward might finally have unlocked his true potential.

The 22-year-old has so far not found the glittering form that convinced the Red Devils to pay Borussia Dortmund £73m for his services under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Since then, Sancho has made 57 appearances for the club, scoring just ten goals.

One of those strikes did come on his most recent outing, however, as he clambered off the bench to round-off an excellent team move in the 3-0 cruise against Leicester. The goal also saw Sancho level the goal record that he put together throughout the entirety of his debut season as a Red Devil.
