Man Utd Treble hero Yorke: Sancho on borrowed time

Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke is adamant that Jadon Sancho is on his last life at the club.

Yorke, who won the 1998-1999 treble with United, believes that Sancho has not shown his potential since arriving from Borussia Dortmund.

Entering the end of his second season at the club, Sancho has still not established himself as an automatic starter for boss Erik Ten Hag.

Per The Mirror, Yorke said of Sancho: "Yeah, it's one of a mystery, really. He had so much potential and hope for the likes of Manchester United. Huge investment, really did an amazing job when he was at Dortmund.

"Somehow the transition from there to Manchester hasn't really worked out in the way that we all thought it might for him. [He has] really struggled, whether it's from a mental point of view, which seems to be well documented. He hasn't really lived up to the price tag.

"So yeah, he's on borrowed time, I suppose, if you have to be fair in many respects. He hasn't really produced the goods that we expect him."
