Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince believes Jadon Sancho has struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League because it is a step up in quality from the Bundesliga.
The England international completed a £72.9million switch from Borussia Dortmund to Old Trafford last July and was expected to immediately replicate the levels of success that he enjoyed during his four-year stay at the Signal Iduna Park.

Ince, who played for United between 1989 and 1995, experienced playing abroad during his career, spending two years at Inter Milan, meaning he knows how difficult it can be for player from overseas to adapt to the demands of the Premier League.
