Secret agent Jadon Sancho has been giving tips on how to stop ex-Borussia Dortmund team-mate Erling Haaland ahead of the Manchester derby, reveals United boss Erik ten Hag

Jadon Sancho could be Erik ten Hag’s secret weapon to stop Erling Haaland as Manchester United travel to the Etihad buoyed by success on the international stage.

Ten Hag has promised he’s done his own homework on Haaland who turned down a move to Old Trafford to join City in the summer and has scored 14 goals in 10 matches for his new club.

But the United boss acknowledges he’s approached Sancho for extra marginal gains aware that the winger spent 18 months with Haaland at Dortmund with the pair scoring 81 goals between them (Haaland 58, Sancho 23).
