Jadon Sancho will have to start his second season at Manchester United well or run the risk of missing out on the World Cup squad.
That's according to retired footballer Noel Whelan, who is hopeful that new United boss Erik Ten Hag will devise a system that will suit the forward better after an underwhelming debut campaign. Sancho finally arrived at United last summer on the club's fourth attempt to sign him but struggled during his first year at Old Trafford.
The 22-year-old netted just five goals and contributed only three assists, far below the high standards he set at Borussia Dortmund, with his poor form costing him his place in the England squad. He hasn't been included in Gareth Southgate's last three squads - though he may not have been considered for the current internationals after missing the last few games of the season with tonsillitis - which doesn't bode well ahead of a World Cup that gets underway in November.
