Jadon Sancho: Manchester United looks like a whole different team

Added at:

Manchester United's Jadon Sancho shared his thoughts about the upcoming season.

It’s your second year here now, you must feel very settled on and off the pitch and what learnings do you take into this upcoming season?
"It’s my second year now, settling into the team, knowing how players play and I’m excited for the upcoming season, with a new manager and how he wants us to play, and I think it will be good for myself. The training, especially in pre-season, has been a real positive and all the lads have taken on board what he’s saying; you can see it in the games, we’re creating a lot more chances, keeping the ball more and just making good things out of the style we’re playing."

You’ve had a great pre-season so far with some goals – how much of a benefit will that be for you going into the new campaign?
"Well, this is my first pre-season with United because, last year, I had an infection in my ear so I couldn’t do the whole pre-season with the team which was a bit annoying at the time and [meant] a lack of fitness and understanding of how the players play. But now, this season, I feel a lot more comfortable and, especially scoring in pre-season, it is a confidence boost for myself and, hopefully, I can take that into the season and keep it going."

The manager seems to have brought a really strong structure on and off the pitch - how much are the players feeling the benefit of that?
"For sure, he has. We’ve been having lots of meetings with the manager and understanding how he wants us to play and there’s definitely been a big sign of everyone taking that on board and us producing what he wants to happen. You can see in the games, as I said before, with how we’re playing and there being a lot more structure and opportunities to score, and we’re keeping the ball more too and being effective [with it]."

Has this tour also been a really good exercise for team-bonding and getting to know the new manager and coaches and just all being together?
"This pre-season, we have the same players but it just looks like a whole different team and I do think that’s something we’re working on and I feel like we’re getting better. The manager is big on team-bonding and having fun together and doing things like team dinners and things like that. So, yeah, it’s helping."
