It feels fitting that Jadon Sancho's debut season with Manchester United is now ending with him suffering some sort of discomfort.
But in the scheme of things, a bout of tonsillitis might be the least of his problems in the long run. Sancho is now expected to miss the remainder of United's campaign and could even be forced to have his tonsils removed.
It could well be a metaphor for the time Sancho has spent back in English football since joining United last summer from Borussia Dortmund in a £73million deal. Back then he was in the England squad which came within a whisker of winning Euro 2020. He was regarded as one brightest talents in Europe and became the poster boy of United's future.
