Jadon Sancho has had a wonderful summer so far, scoring three times in Manchester United’s four pre-season friendlies and being arguably the team’s standout player.
He has recaptured the form he produced at Borussia Dortmund prior to his Old Trafford switch last year. Like all United players, the 22-year-old had a difficult season.
He ended with just five goals and three assists to his name in what was a disappointing return. Many supporters took the view that Sancho’s display had been a result of the abysmal team cohesion, and have backed him to come good in his second season.

And their thesis looks to be right, with the youngster flourishing on the right flank under Erik ten Hag. The new boss is the type of character not to allow good fortunes to seep into the egos of his players, but Sancho has already shown he has the correct mindset and is intrinsically a team player.
In his first interview as a United player almost a year ago to the day, he was asked by club media whether he prefers to score goals or assist them. “I feel like they’re both as important as each other,” he replied.
“You’re kind of scoring the goal when you assist and then you’ve scored a goal off an assist, so both are as important as each other.”
It's a mentality Ten Hag will likely enjoy and be keen to harness further as United prepare for the start of the Premier League campaign.
