One of Jadon Sancho’s mentors is sure he has something important to bring to Manchester United’s table.
Before Sancho’s Manchester United debut, his former coach at Watford, Louis Lancaster, Shared interesting insights on how wingers adapt to the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer system.
Recently talking about Stretford Paddock On the official YouTube channel, Lancaster recounted the time he locked Sancho to evaluate his game and announce his “signature move.”
According to Lancaster, the young Sancho quickly responded with “offensive” and since then, they have been rooted in “goal contribution.”
“I remember a proper story about table tennis. I am a very avid player, but I remember that you can only enter the top ten in the world if you have an iconic move, a weapon, a murderer. You It can’t be 8/10,” Lancaster recalled. “I remember telling Jayden the story and saying,’What is your signature action? What do you want me to do?’ His eyes lit up and he said’attack’.”
“Since then, our plan has been about goal contributions, forward passes, goals, assists, and then commitments,” he continued. “Most players you have to remind them to prove how much you care about your career, but he is too impulsive.”
Whether it is a coincidence or a coincidence, Solskjaer admitted earlier His team lacks consistency and depth in offense.
For Lancaster, Sancho may be the player to fill these gaps. Therefore, he also predicted that the player who is about to become the Red Devils will be of great help to Manchester United’s offensive veterans such as Pogba, Bruno Fernandez and Edinson Cavani.
“First of all, he is [Sancho] Will bring goals and assists,” the coach assessed. “He is no longer a miracle of a season, he has proven his stability. His figures are not in the chart. I think he can score a goal or assist in every game. His dribble is the most successful in Europe and the most into the penalty area, so this is where he is going to excel. “
“But I think Jayden’s greatest quality is that he can contribute to other people’s games,” he added, “So even though you paid for a player, I think you will get a better Bruno. [Fernandes], A better [Paul] Pogba, [Edinson] Cavani. I think this is his greatest skill and can add value to other people’s games. “
