Rio Ferdinand delighted with Jadon Sancho against Ukraine after FINALLY getting England chance

Manchester United will be licking their lips watching Jadon Sancho's first start of Euro 2020, with Rio Ferdinand among those getting excited about the winger.

Sancho has been stuck in the shadows of England's snowballing push for glory this summer, seeing only six minutes of action up to the quarter-finals.

Finally, Gareth Southgate handed the 21-year-old his chance against Ukraine on Saturday, and he immediately impressed in the first-half.
