Man United fans question Jadon Sancho's England snub as Jack Grealish stat comparison emerges
18.03.2022 - 21:19 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United supporters have been airing their bemusement over Jadon Sancho's omission from the latest England squad after an interesting statistics comparison between the winger and Jack Grealish was highlighted.
Like teammate Marcus Rashford, the 21-year-old was left out of Gareth Southgate’s selection for next week’s friendlies against the Ivory Coast and Switzerland. Many were surprised by the decision to leave out Sancho, who has seen an uptick in form for his club side.
In his last seven Premier League games, he has bagged three assists and scored twice, including a Manchester derby equaliser. Meanwhile, Manchester City playmaker Grealish - who is included in the Three Lions squad - has bagged just two goals and two assists in 19 league games all season.

This comparison, which was highlighted on Twitter, prompted United fans to question Southgate’s call…
@MazSips: Southgate has clearly not watched any football of late because he didn’t pick Jadon.
@WoodySheriffff: Poor decision by Southgate.
@rramsey91: Typical Southgate move. Always chats the most about form and makes decisions like these.
@hito_goto: Definitely he should be in the England squad.
@UnitedDown: Long term Jadon will be in the fold so I don’t get why you wouldn’t involve him in the build up to a World Cup.
@Walcottchantal: Clear bias on Southgate part. Grealish only got picked because of the club he plays with.
However, the majority of fans, including several United supporters, recognised that selection is based on more than just statistics alone.
@Acaremgz: Grealish's form has been good in many games. Like the game against Manchester United, he was in good form. Football
