Peter Schmeichel says Jadon Sancho did not do enough to make England's World Cup squad

Peter Schmeichel thinks Gareth Southgate made the right decision by leaving Jadon Sancho out of his World Cup squad.

Sancho featured for England at last year's Euros, and joined Manchester United for £73m shortly after the tournament.

However, he has struggled to live up to expectations, only showing glimpses of his potential, and this has cost him a place in Qatar. Schmeichel has admitted the 22-year-old has not found his best form at Old Trafford, and did not deserve to make the 26-man squad that Southgate named on Thursday afternoon.

'I don’t think he’s done enough,' Schmeichel said on Sky Sports ahead of United's Carabao Cup tie against Aston Villa on Thursday night.
