Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag insists Jadon Sancho can still improve despite a strong performance and goal in tonight’s Europa League win over Sheriff Tiraspol.
The England international had a disappointing first season at Old Trafford last season but appears to have improved greatly under Ten Hag so far in 2022/23, scoring a well-spent effort in tonight’s all-important 2-0 win at Europe League.
United lost their first match against Real Sociedad, badly in need of three points on the board in tonight’s tricky away game.
Sancho put the Red Devils on their way with the opening goal, and Ten Hag was pleased to see the 22-year-old’s impact, although he added that he still felt he was a player with more to offer.
Speaking in his post-match interview, quoted by utdreport on Twitter, Ten Hag said: “I’m very happy [for Sancho]. Another goal, and he’s already scored a lot of goals in his preseason, and I think he’s got three in the season.

Sancho certainly looked like an electrifying talent during his Borussia Dortmund days, so there could still be more to come from him in a United shirt.
The signs this season are good, with Ten Hag perhaps the ideal coach to help him reach his potential.
