Sancho is slowly but surely settling into the Premier League. He confirmed it with a great performance against Leeds

Given his great seasons in the Bundesliga, big things were expected of Sancho after his move to Old Trafford. He had a slower start and even had to wait until November to score his first goal, but now he seems to be getting more comfortable in the Premier League.

After crashing out of the FA Cup with Middlesbrough and league draws with Burnley and Southampton, the Red Devils have fixed their taste with two wins in a row.

On Tuesday they took on Brighton and in Sunday’s game they humbled their rivals Leeds United. Apart from these victories, the team’s fans can also enjoy the recent performances of dream signing Jadon Sancho.

He has been one of the better players for his team in recent weeks and is starting to confirm his performances with goals and assists. In his last 5 games across all competitions, he has provided 4 goals – that’s twice as many as in his first 23 games for United.

First he scored in the 1:2 loss to Middlesbrough, then in the league in the 1:1 draw with Southampton. Then on Sunday against Leeds he gave perhaps his best performance in a Red Devils jersey.

He contributed 2 assists in the 4:2 win. In the first half, his accurate centre was used by Bruno Fernandes, whose header increased the score to 2:0. In the 70th minute, he contributed to the winning goal when he crossed the ball to Fred in the penalty area, who gave Meslier no chance with his shot.

There was no doubt about the player of the match. In addition to 2 assists, the England international also recorded 3 shots, created 3 chances, won 5 duels and completed 3 dribbles. No one also had more touches in the opponents’ whitewash than him (7) and passes in the attacking third of the pitch (21).

Sancho also earned praise from Gary Neville: “He definitely deserves the player of the match award. His 2 assists were key, you can see he is improving and he is getting better with every game he plays for United.”

Jadon Sancho is getting into form at the perfect time. Because on Wednesday, Manchester United face a tough Champions League 8-final match against Atlético in Madrid and Ralf Rangnick will need the best performance from his players.
