Neville warns Man Utd: Sancho just not that good

Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has warned against the expectations around Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho.

United have been linked with the Borussia Dortmund star who is likely to cost around £100m.

"To be honest, Jadon Sancho in this moment of time… we get carried away," Neville told Sky Sports.

"I think we've got an amazing group of young English players. But we have to consider the other players that exist, Brazilian players, Argentine players, German players, Belgium players, we are not the only country in the world.

"Let's be clear, Jadon Sancho is a talent, but we can't start putting him in the category with world stars who are winning European cups and World Cups regularly, season in season out.

"That's why I put Varane ahead of Van Dijk purely because this moment in time Varane's won so many European cups, he's an amazing player. You can't separate their talent, but Varane's a brilliant player."
