Manchester United have moved to heap praise on Jadon Sancho after he was urged to leave the club.
The English winger endured another difficult season at Old Trafford last term, although it was a steady improvement on his nightmare first campaign since completing a long-awaited £73million transfer from Borussia Dortmund. Sancho's role under Erik ten Hag was largely a peripheral one and he found himself behind both Marcus Rashford and Antony in the pecking order - even being sent away on an individual training camp in the Netherlands over the winter.
Now that the summer transfer window is open, the ex- Manchester City academy prospect, 23, has been tipped to return to ex-club Dortmund and rekindle his magic. Sancho has also been linked with a £50m move to Tottenham, while Aston Villa are reported to be interested, this time in a loan deal.
