Roy Keane defends Jadon Sancho: Give the kid a break

Manchester United legend and SkySport pundit Roy Keane have defended winger Jadon Sancho for his current form. Jadon Sancho was signed in July and was termed as a blockbuster signing by many.

There are a lot of expectations from the former Borussia Dortmund attacker who once tormented Bundesliga clubs with his pace and technique. He had scored 50 goals and 64 assists in just 137 appearances for the German club.

He was brought in at Manchester United to upgrade our attacking strengths. He has played a part and has made five appearances till now. But he has to click with his teammates and has not provided something magical.

He still has to show his talent in the Premier League and Roy Keane thinks that he is capable of doing it but needs some time. As reported by Daily Star, he said:

“He’ll be fine. He’s been at the club what, two months. There’s been a lot of changes, new players coming to the club – give the kid a break. He’s still learning his trade, he’s still a young player, big expectations. He’s come to a new club where he’s certainly not going to be star man, he’ll be down the pecking order and he’s got to adapt to all that. Give him a chance.”

He is correct with his words, as Jadon Sancho will face a completely different atmosphere at Old Trafford. Bundesliga and Premier League are very different from each other and the level of competition is also quite vivid.

Premier League is considered more physically tough and players find it a bit difficult to initially adapt to the league.

Jadon Sancho didn’t start against West Ham on Saturday but came on as a substitute. He will be back at his best and we have full faith in the young winger.

He is made to score goals and will be tough to beat alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, and other players.
