'Sancho more suited to Liverpool than Man Utd'
Jadon Sancho's summer switch to Manchester United was the conclusion of a long-running transfer saga that took in multiple transfer windows.
He finally arrived at Old Trafford from Borussia Dortmund for around £76 million and the prospect of seeing him in the red shirt of United had fans and pundits hyped-up with anticipation.
But it hasn't worked out the way everyone had hoped, with the player starting just three Premier League matches from 11 this season.
This has had a knock-on effect on Sancho's England career with manager Gareth Southgate opting not to pick him for the international squad recently.

What did Woodgate say?
There's no doubt in my mind that he'll come good again. Put him in the Liverpool team, and he'd be a completely different player, I'm sure
- And now former Real Madrid, Newcastle and Leeds defender Jonathan Woodgate feels Sancho would be "better off" playing for bitter rivals Liverpool.
"Things haven't gone exactly according to plan for Sancho since he signed for Man United this summer," he told Ladbrokes.
"I put it down to the style of play; it doesn't suit him.
"If United replicated Dortmund's approach then it would be a different ball game altogether, but Man United don't play that way; they don't play the sort of football Sancho is used to.
"Jadon Sancho is an extraordinary talent; if you play to his strengths, then he'll come good.
"There's no doubt in my mind that he'll come good again. Put him in the Liverpool team, and he'd be a completely different player, I'm sure."
Where does Sancho go from here?
At just 21-years-old, Sancho has time on his side but will be concerned about the start he has made to his Manchester United career.
With just 13 appearances, mostly from the bench, he has provided no goals or assists.
He has only been at the club for four months and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be aware that something has to change as he comes under increasing pressure to keep his job.
Three big away matches await Man Utd in their next three games in the form of Watford, Villareal and Chelsea, but with Solskjaer set to field a 3-5-2 formation, this will do Sancho few favours.
