Ex-Man Utd winger Sharpe: Sancho destined to be great under Ten Hag

Former Manchester United winger Lee Sharpe has been impressed by the preseason form of Jadon Sancho.

Sharpe has backed Jadon Sancho to be a "great player" under Erik ten Hag.

Sharpe, speaking on behalf of 888sport, said: "It was a little bit unfortunate for him last season, he came in as a big signing, we knew the club had been chasing him for a year or two at least.

"To come in with a big price tag, and to come in to a team that was struggling a little bit and under huge pressure, I don't think the tempo of the team was high enough for Sancho to produce his best.

"He's got unbelievable ability, great feet, good decision making, can score goals as well as create them. He's got an amazing gift and I think he's going to be a great player for United."
