Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reveals the bizarre reason behind Jadon Sancho's early struggles at Man United - after Premier League legend called for star to 'get his attitude right' amid difficult third loan spell at Aston Villa

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed his reasoning as to why he never worked well with Jadon Sancho during their mutual tenure at Man United.

The former England international was one of the former Red Devils manager's most fervently desired transfer targets during his stint at Old Trafford, with Solskjaer finally securing the player in a £73million deal in the summer of 2021.

The then-21-year-old had impressed heavily at Borussia Dortmund after leaving United's crosstown rivals Man City four years earlier, and Solskjaer was keen to stress on his signing that Sancho was set to 'epitomise the best traditions of Manchester United'.
