'Like the Sancho we signed' - Paul Scholes makes Borussia Dortmund comparison vs Southampton
12.02.2022 - 17:11 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Paul Scholes says Manchester United star Jadon Sancho is starting to become the winger they signed from Borussia Dortmund.
The 21-year-old was a constant threat during his stint in the Bundesliga and was a dominant force for the Black and Yellows with 114 goals and assists in 137 appearances.
In recent weeks, he has begun to look like the threatening winger that registered him amongst the most fearsome attackers in the world during his time in Germany.
And the first-half showing from Sancho pleased Scholes, as he told BT Sport: "We said before the game in the last three weeks he's looked lively, more like the Jadon Sancho we signed.

"He's got his goal which has been really good. It has become a counter-attacking game for Man United, great ball from Fernandes, great run from Marcus [Rashford] down the right-hand side and he bobbles the ball in but he controls it well and it's a good finish.
Glen Hoddle added: "It is good for the lad, it'll give him confidence."
He broke his duck at Old Trafford in the English top-flight after a ferocious counter-attack from the Reds was launched by Bruno Fernandes who set Marcus Rashford through, before the United academy graduate teed up the winger to open the scoring.
