Pundit ‘wowed’ by what he has seen from Sancho at Man United amid ‘huge’ claim
Jadon Sancho is buckling under the “huge pressure” at Man United, according to Paul Robinson.
The former Spurs and England number one, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, pointed to the previous struggles of Wilfried Zaha and Memphis Depay when discussing the 21-year-old’s form.
Sancho has failed to register a goal or an assist in his 10 appearances for the Red Devils this season.
According to Whoscored, the winger had less touches (38) than David de Gea (39) in Saturday’s 4-2 loss at Leicester City.
United signed Sancho from Borussia Dortmund in a £73million in July.
When asked by Football Insider for his thoughts on Sancho’s stats, Robinson said: “Wow, you would expect more from him.
“He has not settled. Manchester United is a huge club and not everybody hits the ground running.
“The truth of the matter is, it doesn’t work for some players. You only have to look at the likes of Wilfried Zaha and Memphis Depay. They came to Manchester United when they were young and they could not handle the expectation.
“I am not saying that is the case with Sancho for one minute but he may need time. He needs to adapt his game.
“The pressure is huge at the best of times but now, with the pressure the manager is under… The results have not been good enough. It is a difficult situation for him at United right now. He is not playing well.”
