England coach Southgate hints Man Utd winger Sancho set for Andorra start

England coach Gareth Southgate admits Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho is likely to start their World Cup qualifier against Andorra.

Southgate has spoken to the 21-year-old at length at St George's Park this week and will now hand him the opportunity to build his confidence against a side whose sole ambition is to avoid a rout.

"We will need players who are good in one-against-one situations and able to take their opponents out of the game," said Southgate.

"We will also need players who can get in between the lines and manipulate things.

"Jadon has all of those attributes. Part of the challenge for him is adapting to a massive change — in style, league, expectation."
