It is sometimes easy to forget that Jadon Sancho is only 22-years-old, such is the speed at which his career exploded into life in Germany.
The Manchester United winger, who left Manchester City to join Borussia Dortmund back in 2017, saw his development go from zero to a hundred miles per hour as a result of his switch to Germany, quickly establishing himself as one of the most exciting youngsters in world football. Blessed with pace, trickery and an eye for goal, the excitement levels surrounding his development boomed overnight.
However, more than a year after returning to Manchester, and this time taking up residency on the red side of the city, his career is threatening to stagnate just that little bit. His first season at Old Trafford was one that featured a catalogue of reasons for why he failed to hit the ground running in the way that so many had expected him to; being part of an an underperforming team, three different managers, permanent or otherwise, and a season that came to an abrupt ending through illness and a family bereavement.
