Ex-Liverpool scout Woodgate: Man Utd winger Sancho happier at Anfield

Former Liverpool scout Jonathan Woodgate says Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho would've been happier at Anfield.

Sancho left Borussia Dortmund in the summer to sign for United in a £75m deal, but things haven't gone to plan.

Woodgate told Ladbrokes: “Things haven't gone exactly according to plan for Sancho since he signed for Man United this summer, and I put it down to the style of play; it doesn't suit him."

He added: “If United replicated Dortmund's approach then it would be a different ball game altogether, but Man United don't play that way; they don't play the sort of football Sancho is used to.

Jadon Sancho is an extraordinary talent; if you play to his strengths, then he'll come good. There's no doubt in my mind that he'll come good again.

“Put him in the Liverpool team, and he'd be a completely different player, I'm sure."
