Jadon Sancho was one of the biggest signings of the offseason in the Premier League and Manchester United. A near $100 million transfer was paid for the 21-year-old English prospect, but despite a lot of hype, Sancho has had to adapt to life at Old Trafford.

With only 2 goals in 21 league appearances, what seem like lukewarm stats as a whole, it has been in the last 5 games for Manchester United that Sancho has begun to show his full potential. Before the last 5 games Sancho was mixing starts with substitute appearances, but now has held his starting position firm in the last 5 matches.

Sancho is a player Manchester United can’t just brush over, he is a project that could pay huge dividends at Old Trafford, especially when considering his age and his play for the English national team. Here is an overview of Jadon Sancho’s last 5 games for Manchester United.

Manchester United legend Roy Keane echoed the stats on the BBC stating, “He’s grown in confidence and is getting used to the United way. He’s getting braver and showing a bit more courage.” Keane added, “We talk about what he’d done at Dortmund, playing for Dortmund and Man United is completely different. Dortmund are nowhere near as big as Man United. It’s those little details that come from confidence and getting that swagger and it’s nice to see because he was getting heavily criticized.”
