And Louis Lancaster, who worked with the England star at Watford during his eight-year spell there as a youth player, believes Sancho will undoubtedly add a great deal to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Man Utd side.
He told the Stretford Paddock YouTube channel: “Firstly, he’s going to bring goals and assists. He’s not a one-season wonder anymore, he’s proved that, he’s been consistent.
“His numbers are off the charts — I think he’s getting one goal or assist per game.
“He’s making the most successful dribbles in Europe, the most entries into the box, so that’s where he is going to excel.
“But I think Jadon’s greatest quality is that he can add to other people’s games.
“So though you have spent money and signed one player, I think you’re going to get a better Bruno [Fernandes], a better [Paul] Pogba, Cavani.
“I think that’s his greatest skill set, adding value to other people’s games.”
Sancho had a sensational season with Borussia Dortmund during the 2020-21 campaign.
