Some Manchester United fans have no doubt that Borussia Dortmund man Jadon Sancho is the answer to the club’s problems on the right-wing.
Sancho, 19, has been in impressive form so far this season. He has played eight times in the Bundesliga, scoring three times and racking up a tally of five assists this term.
He was key for Dortmund in their 3-2 win over Inter in the Champions League recently. The Englishman grabbed one assist and racked up a tally of six dribbles in the game – the highest on the pitch.
Some United fans have made it clear that Sancho should be brought to Old Trafford soon, amidst reports that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has identified the right side as a priority.
Sancho is the perfect fit

Sancho joined Dortmund from Manchester City in the summer of 2017 for an initial fee of £8million, signing a five-year deal with the club.
Since arriving, the Englishman has played 70 times in all competitions for the club. He has scored 18 times, racking up a tally of 31 assists too.
His performances for the club saw him break into the English national team too. Sancho made his debut for the Three Lions in October last year, playing in England’s UEFA Nations League clash against Croatia. He has scored twice in ten caps so far.
The Red Devils are currently at tenth in the Premier League table, ten points behind fourth-placed Chelsea. They are also as many as 18 points behind league leaders Liverpool, who they held to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
Solskjaer saw his side fall to a 1-0 loss to Bournemouth away from home this past weekend. Their next game will be at home against Graham Potter’s Brighton.
What do we think?
The aforementioned numbers help show that Sancho to be considered as one of the best wingers in world football, at the mere age of 19. Not just that, but he is also on the best young players in the game today.
Having said that, the competition for the former Man City and Watford man will be huge. United will have to shell out big money to sign him, but if they really want to rectify their issues on the right, Sancho is the man.
