“He’s a terrific player. He always tries to create things and dribble players” – Carrick gives verdict on Man Utd player

Ahead of Sunday’s Premier League game against Manchester United, Jadon Sancho has started back-to-back games against Watford and Villarreal with his first goal for United coming against the Spanish side.

Manchester United caretaker boss Michael Carrick has hailed the England international and insist Sancho has the potential to go as far as he wants to in the game.

Carrick said: “He’s a terrific player, Jadon. I said it the other night, he’s never happier when the ball’s at his feet, he’s trying to create things and going at defenders and linking inside with forwards, creating chances and scoring goals.

“That’s when he’s purely at his happiest and smiliest, if you like; I’ve seen that in training and I’ve seen that in games already. The biggest thing for me the other night, and I said it, was the other side of his game and his attitude and his work-rate and his mentality.

“I thought he put a whole performance together, the other night, and I was really pleased for him because, and we’ve said it before, It’s not always easy to just step into this club and perform, especially as a younger player, he’s got a massive future ahead of him if keeps doing the right things, looks after himself and has the right attitude.

“Who’s to say how far he can go and hopefully he fulfills every little bit of potential that he has.”
