Liverpool FC legend explains how Cristiano Ronaldo exit has helped Jadon Sancho at Man United

Former Liverpool winger John Barnes has suggested that Jadon Sancho was being "overshadowed" by Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes when he first came into the Manchester United side.

Sancho made his return to action in the 2-2 draw with Leeds United on Wednesday night, with the England international scoring the equaliser for Erik ten Hag's side. It was his first goal since returning to the fold earlier this month following an extended run out of the team.

During his time away from the first team, the 22-year-old travelled to the Netherlands to work on an individual training programme with coaches recommended to him by Ten Hag. The former Borussia Dortmund ace has registered four goals and an assist in 16 appearances this season, so he will be hoping to kick on with United after getting back on the scoresheet.
