Manchester United star Jadon Sancho sends Tammy Abraham message after England omission

Manchester United star Jadon Sancho has delivered his support to England teammate Tammy Abraham after he scored a brace to hand Roma the bragging rights over rivals Lazio on Sunday.

The former Chelsea striker scored a first-half double before Lorenzo Pellegrini grabbed a third to fire Jose Mourinho's side into an unassailable lead. Abraham will now join up with the England squad for their upcoming friendlies, though Sancho will continue his preparations with United after his surprising omission from Gareth Southgate's squad.

During Sancho's early struggles with United, Southgate continued to show his trust in the winger. However, having found his feet under Ralf Rangnick, Sancho has now been snubbed from the latest squad.

On Abraham's Instagram to his 2.4m followers, he posted a picture, captioned: "Our Home. Our Rome." Sancho's response was simple but offered his support with three fire emojis.

His reply prompted a number of Roma fans to try to persuade the former Borussia Dortmund winger to move to the Italian capital. So far this season, Sancho has three goals and as many assists in 24 Premier League appearances, with five goal involvements in his last six league outings.
