Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes Paul Pogba will help unlock Jadon Sancho's true potential after encouraging signs from the winger.

Sancho struggled to cement a place in the first-team after his move from Borussia Dortmund but following the appointment of Ralf Rangnick, he has shown greater faith in the England international rewarding him with a string of appearances.

"That's what happens when you spend all that money. When he comes in you expect 15 goals,
