When 18 y/o Jadon Sancho came up against Harry Maguire in England training & humiliated him
Jadon Sancho is one of the most talented youngsters in world football.
The tricky winger, now 22, possesses electric pace and has a plethora of tricks in his repertoire.
He has humiliated countless defenders during his short career as a professional footballer.
And one man that has been made to look silly by Sancho is his countryman and Manchester United teammate, Harry Maguire.
Back in March 2019, an 18-year-old Sancho came up against Maguire in England training.
And the then-Borussia Dortmund star humiliated his opponent during a training game.
Maguire was attempting to defend against Sancho but fell to the floor after being bamboozled.
Maguire, who went on to become the most expensive defender in the world a few months later, took the embarrassing moment well as both himself and Sancho were seen with a smile on their face.
View the moment below…

A few years later, in September 6, Sancho was asked about the moment by SoccerBible.
He replied, per the Metro: “Yeah, that shocked me as well.
“Obviously it’s funny because he dropped, but I didn’t understand it, because I wasn’t even that close to him.
“I think it was just because of how sharp it was, it might have just thrown him off. I was new to training so he might not have expected something like that.
“Now he understands that the stop and start does come, he’s more aware.
“But I feel that when you play against a new opponent they don’t know what’s coming, so they just get rattled [laughs].”
Maguire must have had
