What will become of Jadon Sancho?
Erik ten Hag has faith – for the moment – in the 23-year-old and a vision of the complete attacking footballer the forward can become for Manchester United, as his fielding of Sancho as a false 9 indicates. The goal Sancho scored against Arsenal was emblematic of this, the England international bursting on to a through ball, holding off Gabriel Magalhães in a show of pace and thrust that felt a new development, then rifling home. But for him to prosper and be the £74m marquee signing United believed they recruited two summers ago, there has to be more of this. Is it possible? Ten Hag thinks so.
