Paul Scholes identifies Sancho's best position — Rashford currently occupies it

Speaking on the Webby & O'Neill podcast, Paul Scholes said: "It's difficult when you are in and out of the team all the time to find any consistency or any type of form. I think Jadon Sancho has shown a lot of flashes of the talent we expected.

"Look, he has been nowhere near what everyone thought we were going to get from Borussia Dortmund, but it might take a bit of time for him to settle down in the Premier League and get used to the pace of it.

"His fitness will get better once he starts playing games week-in, week-out. When you are not doing as well as you should be, it is hard to find and know what your best position is. I think he has played in the middle at times as a No.10.

"I really don't see him in that position; I see him on the left-hand side, really. But Marcus Rashford has been in top quality form out there. I know he played on the right-hand side at Dortmund and was brilliant.

"It is about the players you have got with you and the players at Dortmund suited him. It may have just taken him a bit of time to get used to the players around him. Fingers crossed, starting from next year, we will see a better Sancho."

Sancho spent a few months away from the first team earlier this season with Erik ten Hag growing frustrated with the player's fitness and attitude.

The 23-year-old has looked much better since his return but the fans are clearly yet to see the real Sancho in a Manchester United shirt.
