Manchester United have Ajax blueprint to follow with Alejandro Garnacho

Manchester United have spent £120m on right-wingers across the last two seasons — Jadon Sancho, Amad and Facundo Pellistri — and yet it's believed there have been conversations within Old Trafford about the need for another right-sided forward.

There are currently more pressing issues at the club, that's for sure. United desperately need world-class signings in defensive midfield and at centre-forward, but right-wing is thought to be an area that still hasn't been fixed, despite heavy investment. It is ironic that Sancho was signed to be that right-sight forward considering the 21-year-old has produced his strongest performances from the left.

It was never going to be easy for Sancho to adapt to the Premier League. His nationality didn't guarantee he would hit the ground running in his home country, unlike some thought. You're gifted more space and time on the ball in the Bundesliga and Sancho clearly found the transition difficult at the start of the season. That's all changed now and he's seemingly improving each week.
