While the likes of Marcus Rashford and Antony have been hogging all the attention in Manchester United’s attacking ranks this season, Jadon Sancho has been quietly building an impressive set of stats of his own.
After an impressive pre-season, the England man has hit the ground running in the Premier League too, and is just one goal behind Rashford after six games.
Sancho has scored twice so far for a goalscoring frequency of one every 212 minutes.
This isn’t too far behind Rashford at 174, who has been playing center forward most of the time.
Sancho’s passing accuracy has also been impressive so far.
His overall accuracy has been a commendable 83% and his long ball accuracy an impressive 80%.
Sancho has completed almost 2/3 of his dribbles at 58%.

Manager Erik ten hag recently praised Sancho, adding that he believes the best is yet to come.
“With his potential there is much more room for improvement, he can be even more important and contribute with his creativity and scoring goals and assists”, said the coach.
“Yes, I think you can. [become a prolific goalscorer].
“He has the capabilities and he did it in a different league too, but this is the Premier League so the intensity is higher so he has to adapt to that, mentally and physically.
“The capabilities are there, the skills.” (Source: The MAN)
Sancho’s most prolific season to date was 2019/20, when he scored 17 goals and provided 17 assists in the Bundesliga while playing for Borussia Dortmund.
