Patrice Evra has told Jadon Sancho he ‘deserves everything’ if he continues to work as hard as he did against Leicester City.
The Manchester United winger was a half-time substitute against the Foxes and went on to play on of his best 45 minutes for the club since he joined.
Sancho scored one goal and created three chances in an impressive performance, which served as the ideal warm-up for the Barcelona game later this week.
He is now up to five goals for the season, already surpassing his tally of four from the previous campaign.
Evra message to Sancho
Former United defender Evra reached out on Twitter to tell Jadon Sancho: “You deserve everything when your working that hard son.”
He has just returned from a spell out of the game to recover his fitness. Sancho is looking far happier than he did before, and it is translating into his football too.
Still only 22, Sancho’s best years are ahead of him and he has been adjusting to the pressures of playing for one of the world’s top clubs. Evra’s message will mean a lot if he sees it.
Sancho would be glad to see his work ethic being praised. While this is a strong part of his game, this is not always the aspect which gets the most attention. Now playing in a central role, it is even more important he works hard to do his job for the team.
This time next week we hope Sancho’s hard work has been rewarded with a Carabao Cup medal. He will be looking to play a huge part in his first game at Wembley for the club.
