ALL GO FOR SANCHO
Man Utd boss Rangnick reveals how he finally got Jadon Sancho firing… in dig at form under predecessor Solskjaer
RALF RANGNICK has sung the praises of Jadon Sancho following the winger's impressive recent form.
The England star, 21, initially struggled at Manchester United after his blockbuster move but he is proving to be a key player under Rangnick.

The German boss says Sancho is back to being the exciting attacker who lit up the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund.
Sancho has two goals and three assists in his last six Premier League games - having failed to find the net under previous manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Rangnick said: "He is now recognisable as the Jadon Sancho I have known since he was 18.
“Yes, this has also not always been the case, if we're honest, in the weeks and months before I came.

“Jadon Sancho is now getting closer to the Jadon Sancho I've known from Germany. In the end it's all about confidence.
“Game time, confidence. Confidence, game time. He was performing at a very high level.
“We can only be successful as a team. If you're not being successful, if you're not playing well as a team, tell me one single player in football who can still develop his own career.
“It's impossible. It's only possible with raising the level of performance of the whole team. This is what happened [against Spurs].”

Sancho struggled a little for regular game time under Solskjaer and only completed 90 minutes on one occasion in the Prem - the Norwegian's final match against Watford.
But he has since been given a little more freedom to switch wings during games and his pace has proven to be an asset for United.
Bruno Fernandes' return to form has helped Sancho as has Paul Pogba being back in the side.
The Frenchman found him with a brilliant pass which helped Sancho score a stunning goal against Manchester City.
