Some players in the Manchester United squad are privately concerned about £73m summer signing Jadon Sancho.

According to the UK Times, they are questioning whether the club made a mistake by signing him from Borussia Dortmund.

Sancho scored 50 times and made 67 assists for the Bundesliga side after joining from Manchester City in 2017.

It is claimed players and coaches at Old Trafford have also been unimpressed by both Sancho’s contributions and attitude in training, leading to “major question marks” over his £73m transfer.
