Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has criticised Manchester United over their handling of Jadon Sancho.

Fowler says management are destroying the player's market value.

He wrote for the Mirror: “I don't know the ins and outs of it, but it seems to have blown up before the transfer window closed. And to me, Manchester United have not really played this properly, with what appears to be quite a bit of briefing against their player.

“If the manager doesn't fancy him as a player, then fair enough. But these days, you don't have to make players outcasts to get rid of them. Loyalty is a two way street. If a player signs a contract, clubs expect them to honour it when it suits them, but not if they get rid.

“I think United need to step back and have a look at their handling of the situation. This is a £75m player we're talking about for one thing, and the club are doing their best to destroy that value, it seems."
