Reyna: Sancho told me to take the No. 7 shirt before Man Utd move

The U.S. men's national team star discussed the influence the England wing had on him over the last few years

U.S. men's national team star Gio Reyna says that Jadon Sancho told him to take the No. 7 shirt from him before he left Borussia Dortmund to join Manchester United this summer.

Reyna discussed the influence that Sancho had on his career, as the young American says that the England winger served as a real mentor for him throughout his rise at Dortmund.

And now Reyna is replacing Sancho as the club's No. 7 as the now-Man Utd winger repeatedly told the American that he wanted him to take over the shirt.
