Jadon Sancho Is Set For A Positional Change At Manchester United After Underwhelming Start

He has struggled for regular game-time and starts, managing 566 minutes, six starts and only completing one full game in all competitions.

That formation does not allow for wingers and so Sancho could well be deployed as the right-sided wing-back ahead of Aaron-Wan Bissaka, who has received criticism for his lack of ability on the ball and in the attack.

It's said Sancho has been used in the position during training sessions and is seen as an option in games where teams will look to defend deep and contain.

In the same report, it's noted that there are a number of factors for Sancho's slow start. When he arrived for pre-season, Sancho was suffering with quite a severe ear infection that meant he was training with cotton balls in his ears due to the pain.

To make matters worse, he then picked up a calf injury.

Although he has a wealth of experience in the Bundesliga, a league he lit up during his time there, Sancho told a teammate the pace of the Premier League "was something to hold".

This conversation happened after the 4-1 win over Newcastle and the teammate in question told him to "Get used to it".

The 21-year-old is well aware he's not been at the races but is believed to be putting the work in to kickstart his United career.
