Rio Ferdinand claims Jadon Sancho 'suits international football better than the Premier League'... and admits he doesn't understand why the Manchester United winger didn't make Gareth Southgate's latest England squad

Rio Ferdinand believes Jadon Sancho deserves a place in Gareth Southgate's England squad, and has claimed the Manchester United winger is more suited to international football than the Premier League.

After a tricky first season at United last year, Sancho has looked looked much better under Erik ten Hag this term, scoring three goals in eight games across all competitions.

However, this was still not enough to get him into Southgate's latest squad. Ferdinand has said that he would have selected Sancho based on his current form, and he thinks the 22-year-old has the tools to flourish in the national team.
