'Give him the shirt' - Sancho backed by former coach to thrive as Man Utd No.7

Jadon Sancho will become "a better player" if handed the famous No.7 shirt at Manchester United, claims the winger's former youth coach Louis Lancaster, with the England international closing in on a £73 million ($101m) move to Old Trafford.

Terms have been agreed on a big-money switch from Borussia Dortmund for the 21-year-old, who will complete a medical and rubberstamp a deal once his commitments at Euro 2020 come to a close.
