Former Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is sorry seeing Jadon Sancho struggling.

Solskjaer admits he pushed to sign the winger from Borussia Dortmund.

"I wanted to sign him. Manchester United will never sign a player the manager doesn't want. That's not the case everywhere," Solskjaer told The Athletic.

"Jadon was put up as the number-one target for the right wing by the scouts and when you look at his talent, I could see why.

"Unfortunately, it has not worked out. When he arrived, he had to go to hospital and that was a setback as he couldn't start the first games.

"He's immensely talented and we haven't seen the best of him. I hope we do, but he prefers to play left wing… where Marcus [Rashford] plays."
