Don't give up on Jadon Sancho just yet! Marcus Rashford resurrected his Man Utd career after a dismal last season, and the £73m winger can too

Manchester United's 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest was an encouraging match for many players. Anthony Martial showed his class after returning to full fitness while Antony sliced his way through the Tricky Trees as he both scored and assisted in the same Premier League game for the first time.

Over on the left flank, though, Jadon Sancho still looked like a player who does not believe in himself. He played some nice passes in midfield and went on a few interesting runs, but he often looked afraid to take the next step.

Of three dribbles he attempted, only one was a success. He looked incapable of beating defenders and only mustered two shots on goal. One of those flew over the bar, the other was comfortably saved by Keylor Navas.

Sancho has started each of United's last four games, but has made only one notable contribution in that time, his assist for Scott McTominay in the win over Everton.

In total, he has scored just five goals in all competitions this season, and was left out of the team for around nine weeks after Erik ten Hag expressed concern with his fitness levels, opting to not take him on the training camp to Spain during the World Cup.

He looks a shadow of the dynamic, productive player he was at Borussia Dortmund.

However, don't write him off just yet. There are plenty of examples of players who have overcome difficult spells to prove their worth for United, and Sancho only needs to look to Marcus Rashford as proof that you can turn things around in the space of a year.
