Solskjaer backs Sancho to improve after slow start
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has backed Jadon Sancho to come good after a slow start with the club.
The 21-year-old has made five appearances for Untied since signing from Borussia Dortmund for around £73million after a high-profile transfer pursuit that lasted over a year.
England international Sancho arrived to huge fanfare, though he is yet to register a goal or assist going for the Red Devils.
A frustrating start for Sancho continued when he was sacrificed in the first half of Wednesday's (AEST) Champions League loss to Young Boys, the winger taken off as part of a reshuffle when Aaron Wan-Bissaka was sent off.
Solskjaer, though, insists nothing has changed in his evaluation of Sancho, who he feels can be a "top forward" for United over more than a decade.
"He is learning all the time," Solskjaer said.
"As I said in training as well, he is learning our methods, he is learning the Premier League and of course, he knows the Champions League already from being at Dortmund.
"He is a young boy, he is only 21 and he will improve.
"We signed him as we see a top forward for 10, 12, 15 years and I have not changed my mind on that.
"He is so clean on the ball and is enthusiastic to learn and that is such a big thing when you come to Manchester United.
"You are always going to get a chance and you play with some of the best players in the world, you are getting some fantastic coaching with the coaches I have got too."
