Ralf Rangnick believes Jadon Sancho is 'struggling to come to terms with the pressure and expectation associated with his £73m move to Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund'

Jadon Sancho is struggling under the pressure of his £73million move to Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund, claims interim manager Ralf Rangnick.

Rangnick has spoken to Sancho after the England winger was left on the bench at Aston Villa last weekend in favour of teenager Anthony Elanga.

Sancho’s 23 games for United have produced just two goals and no assists, and Rangnick believes he has found it hard to come to terms with the pressure and expectation of moving to Old Trafford last summer for such a big transfer fee.
