Jadon Sancho insists he can still win a place in England's World Cup squad after Manchester United winger fired timely reminder to Gareth Southgate with clinical finish in Europa League win over FC Sheriff

Jadon Sancho refused to give up on a place in England’s squad for the World Cup after firing Manchester United towards a Europa League win in Moldova on Thursday night.

Sancho scored his third goal of the season in United’s 2-0 victory over FC Sheriff in Chisinau after learning that he has been left out of Gareth Southgate’s squad for the games against Germany and Italy.

Those are England’s last fixtures before leaving for Qatar but Sancho still believes he can claim a spot.
