Rio Ferdinand suggests Jadon Sancho would play better for England than he does for Manchester United

Rio Ferdinand has claimed that Jadon Sancho is arguably better suited for international football with England than he is in the Premier League with Manchester United.

Gareth Southgate's decision to leave Sancho out of his 28-man squad for this round of UEFA Nations League matches caused quite a stir among United supporters. The former Borussia Dortmund winger had put in some fine performances under Erik ten Hag, as he scored goals against Liverpool and Leicester.

His upturn in form however, was not enough for Southgate to select the 22-year-old for England's games against Italy and Germany. After a lacklustre 1-0 defeat to the Italians on Friday night, this might be a decision that Southgate is coming to regret, as the Three Lions looked toothless in attack.
