DBasia.news – The hustle and bustle of Jadon Sancho’s transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester United in the summer of 2021 instantly disappeared at this time. From praise to United for the transfer, now Sancho is in the spotlight.
The spotlight didn’t come because of his good performance, but due to the lack of playing time to a different appearance from when he was defending Dortmund. Moreover, the transfer is not cheap: 73 million pounds.
Sancho, 21, has made 12 appearances in all competitions this season, but he is yet to score or provide an assist. No doubt many think that Sancho had made a big mistake in moving to the Red Devils coached by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Besides Ole Gunnar Solskjaer having difficulty maximizing his quality, Sancho also rarely plays because Cristiano Ronaldo, Mason Greenwood, Marcus Rashford, to Jesse Lingard occupy his playing position.
German football legend, Lothar Matthaus believes Sancho had made a big mistake in moving to United. Judging from the performance to the minutes he played with United, it is understandable that Matthaus belived Sancho had made the wrong decision to leave Dortmund.
“You look at the players who played at Man United. You have Rashford, you have Ronaldo,” Matthaus said.
“It means you have two (players) out of three (positions) and then you have four other players who can play in third and one of these three or four players is Sancho.”
“I don’t know how he trained at Man United, he had to work really hard to make this step in the starting XI and now he is far from the starting XI.”
“When I see how many minutes he’s played this season or what games he’s played, then I think it’s a mistake. Maybe he has more money but he has less playing time.”
Meanwhile, with Dortmund who he defended from 2017-2021, Sancho has scored 50 goals and provided 64 assists. If the situation does not change, Sancho’s chances of defending the England national team in the 2022 World Cup could be reduced.
