Jadon Sancho shows true colours with message to Man United teammate Alejandro Garnacho

Alejandro Garnacho is set to be the main competition for Jadon Sancho at Manchester United, should the England star remain at the club.

After securing his spot as a first-team player in Erik ten Hag's debut season, he further cemented his role as a crucial part of his plans last term.
