BORUSSIA DORTMUND chief Hans-Joachim Watzke claims it ‘hurts his soul’ to see Jadon Sancho rotting on Manchester United’s bench.
The winger, 21, finally complete a protracted £73million switch to Old Trafford over the summer.
But Sancho has struggled for form under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, failing to record a single goal or assist in seven appearances.
The England international has not started United’s last two Premier League games.
And fans are praying Sancho comes good soon as United go through a sticky patch of three defeats in their last four outings.
One man who is confident the forward can rediscover his best form is Dortmund CEO Watzke.
He claims Sancho is so good he brings people to TEARS.
And Watzke laments the fact his former favourite is now struggling to impress for both club and country.

Watzke said: “I love Jadon, when you seem him playing you get tears in your eyes.
“It hurts my soul that he is given so little consideration.
“I think his problem is that he’s not set in the English national team.”
Watzke also opened up about a potential summer exit for Erling Haaland, dismissing claims Dortmund will be forced to sell as ‘bull***t’.
He added: “It has not yet been decided whether he will really leave in the summer.
“We’ll just have a look. I heard someone say ’they have to sell Haaland because they are listed on the stock exchange’.

“This is all bull***t. The decision whether someone is sold is made only by the management.
“The ball lies in Erling’s court. I get on well with Mino Raiola (his agent), I know what makes him tick.
“It is not right to believe Raiola is all about the money. He also has in mind what is best for Erling.”
