"Fingers crossed, starting from next year, we will see a better Sancho," says Paul Scholes but that's too far away. Manchester United need to start seeing a better Jadon Sancho as soon as possible - starting on Sunday.
United go into the crucial match with Newcastle United severely depleted. Casemiro is suspended, Christian Eriksen is still recovering from injury, Donny van de Beek is out for the season and Marcel Sabitzer is a doubt as well. Nearly all of the midfield could be unavailable.
Then you get to the forwards. It's not yet clear if Anthony Martial is ready to return but even if he is he will be rusty. Alejandro Garnacho is sidelined, Raphael Varane's fitness has not yet been cleared up and it's still not known if Marcus Rashford will have recovered from his own injury in time to feature.
