Jadon Sancho's poor form could give forgotten Manchester United winger his chance under Erik ten Hag

Manchester United as a whole is improving gradually under Erik ten Hag. In the first two games of the 2022/23 season against Brighton and Brentford, the team got a reality check about how long it would take for the Dutchman to implement his style but in recent weeks against Tottenham and Chelsea, the football has been a lot better and closer to what fans will see in the long term.

However, one player that doesn't seem to be along for the ride is Jadon Sancho. Many United fans expected the English winger to kick on under the new regime, but in recent weeks he seems to have regressed rather than progressed.

Sancho has been under heavy criticism for his impact in matches; he does not take his man on enough and this limits the number of opportunities he has to create for his teammates. Even the return of Luke Shaw to the left-back spot, who has been impressive in his handful of appearances, hasn't had the positive effect many expected.
