Rangnick: Sancho is on the rise

Our summer 2021 signing from Borussia Dortmund has come through his Premier League apprenticeship to become a significant figure in the Reds’ side.

An upsurge in form saw Sancho score twice last month against Middlesbrough in the Emirates FA Cup and in the league against Southampton. In the Manchester derby, he scored a storming goal at the Etihad against City and was one of the top performers in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Spurs, when he provided an assist to set up the second goal in Cristiano Ronaldo’s hat-trick.

The attacker, who’ll celebrate his 22nd birthday on the 25th of this month, is reaching his Dortmund heights after an initially difficult introduction to life in England as a senior player.
