With guaranteed gametime in important games coming over the next few weeks, this is Sancho’s time to show that he does have a future at Old Trafford.
If he can help United win crucial games and secure top four, and help in both cup competitions, then he will have shown that he can be trusted by Ten Hag.
However, if he can’t manage to lift his performances to the required level when the perfect chance to get a run of games has fallen in his lap, it could be over for him.
He has clearly worked hard to lose some weight and get sharper, so United fans are certainly rooting for the young English winger.
But simply put, if Jadon Sancho doesn’t lift his game over the next few weeks, people will wonder if he ever will.
