Roy Keane delivers Jadon Sancho verdict following Manchester United's 4-2 win vs Leeds
21.02.2022 - 12:49 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane believes Jadon Sancho is starting to grow into his role at Old Trafford following his performance in Sunday afternoon's 4-2 win over Leeds.
The England international grabbed two assists to help Ralf Rangnick's side survive a Leeds recovery and secure a second consecutive Premier League triumph.
Sancho teed up Bruno Fernandes for his close-range header and Fred for his emphatic 70th-minute strike, securing his first Premier League assists since joining United from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
The winger has gone from strength to strength in recent weeks, producing a string of encouraging performances to suggest his United career is on the verge of sparking into life.
Keane has heaped praise on the 21-year-old, telling Sky Sports : "He's grown in confidence and is getting the United way. He's getting braver and showing a bit more courage.
"We talk about what he'd done at Dortmund, playing for Dortmund and Man United is completely different. Dortmund are nowhere near as big as Man United.
"It's those little details that come from confidence and getting that swagger and it's nice to see because he was getting heavily criticised."
Meanwhile, Keane also hailed the performance of Anthony Elanga, who stepped off the bench to score United's fourth goal of the contest.
"This young kid Elanga, he's a really good player," he added. "[He was] positive and [the win was] well deserved in the end. They made hard work of it but United were by far the better team."
