Man United boss Solskjaer makes Jadon Sancho prediction

Jadon Sancho’s Manchester United stint

Jadon Sancho would join Manchester United back in July.

The winger is reported to have set The Red Devils back £73m.

At the time, Sancho’s signing seemed like a major coup. Man United were crying out for a natural right-winger and due to Sancho’s impressive stint in Germany with Dortmund, it seemed as though he was the man they needed to fix this issue.

Sancho would score 16 and assist 20 in just 38 outings for Borussia Dortmund during the 2020/21 season before netting 20 and assisting 20 in 44 games the campaign prior.

So, given his price-tag and previous impressive form, expectations were no doubt high once the 21-year-old signed for Man United.

Solskjaer makes Sancho prediction

So far, however, it is fair to say that Sancho has not enjoyed the best of starts to life back in England.

Sancho is yet to register a single goal or assist for his new club across 12 outings.

And, in United’s last two games before Saturday, Sancho was completely ousted from the side due to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer lining up with a 3-5-2 that did not use wingers.

Despite what has been a pretty poor start to life at Old Trafford, Solskjaer has made an interesting Sancho prediction recently.

The Norwegian stated that Sancho will play a lot of games and that he is going to be one of the top forwards for the next decade at least:

“Jadon is going to play a lot of games, he’s going to get better and better, of course.

“The last couple of games, he has maybe suffered from the system we have played, but that’s not going to be a permanent 3-5-2 team that we are always going to see.

“You will see Jadon play a lot and he’ll do well for us, he knows what we want from him and I speak to him regularly. That will be fine. We knew what we signed when we signed him, we believe he’s going to be one of the top forwards for many, many years, the next decade at least.”
