Jadon Sancho predicted to become a 'superstar' at Manchester United after shaking off slow start

Jadon Sancho has been predicted to become a 'superstar' at Manchester United, according to a former Red.

The England international's form has blossomed in 2022 and during his last six games he has contributed two goals and three assists. One player who is unsurprised to see a drastically improved Sancho is Lee Sharpe.

During an interview with The Athletic, Sharpe explained the reasons behind the 21-year-old's poor displays at the start of the season. "I like Jadon Sancho," Sharpe began.

"He struggled when he got to Old Trafford, but players do struggle after international tournaments. It's not just the physical load, and Sancho wasn't playing all the time [at the Euros] for England, it's the mental side.

"Harry Maguire, Harry Kane, Luke Shaw… these players have struggled (this season). I think it's because they didn't have a proper break, they get mentally fatigued as well as physically and reaching the final meant emotional disappointment.

" Sancho had a couple of little injuries at the start (with United ) and he got over them. There's no question of his ability.

"He can go past people for fun; he's got a clever footballing brain in that he makes the right decisions at the right time. He can see a pass, chooses the right pass, he plays at pace, he doesn't just swing a cross in.

"I think he will be a superstar at United."
