Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has suggested that he is still struggling to understand why Gareth Southgate left Jadon Sancho out of his latest England squad.
The Reds winger has made an impressive start to the new season under Erik ten Hag, rediscovering the form that convinced United to sign the England international last year. Sancho has registered three goals in eight appearances so far this term, but was left out of the latest Three Lions squad for the upcoming Nations League matches against Italy and Germany.
Sancho, who featured frequently during the early part of Southgate’s reign as manager, has made 23 appearances for his country, recording 10 goal contributions. The 22-year-old has not played for the Three Lions since registering two assists in a 5-0 win over Andorra in a World Cup qualifier last October.
