Jadon Sancho explains how Erik ten Hag is changing Manchester United's dressing room

Jadon Sancho has admitted Manchester United's players have a point to prove this season.

Sancho joined United from Borussia Dortmund for £72.9million last summer, but he failed to hit the ground running in the Premier League. United's performances worsened and Sancho looked short of confidence, just like most players at the club.

However, the 22-year-old gradually got better as the season progressed and there were glimpses of the player that regularly dazzled at Dortmund. Sancho ended the season with just five goals and three assists in 38 appearances across all competitions, though, and he'll be desperate to improve on that return next term, along with helping United to climb back up the table.

PLAYER RATINGS: Sancho and Fred good vs Aston Villa

Sancho started in all four of United's games in pre-season and, speaking after the 2-2 draw with Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon, the winger reflected on his first year at the club and he also lauded the influence of Erik ten Hag.

“Last year wasn’t great and I feel like everyone has something to prove for this upcoming season,” Sancho said.

"We don’t want to put performances in like we did last year and upset the fans. Some fans travelled for a long time to get to the stadium and watch us not perform. I’m sure, this year, everyone is going to make up for that and make sure every game we play we put 100 per cent in and make sure the fans are smiling at the end of the game.

"It’s my second year now, settling into the team, knowing how players play and I’m excited for the upcoming season, with a new manager and how he wants us to play. think it will be good for myself. The training, especially in pre-season, has been a real positive and all the lads have taken on board
