5 reasons why Manchester United should sign Jadon Sancho

#2 United would have a terrific front three

A front three of Martial, Rashford, and Sancho could propel Manchester United to the Premier League title

Imagine, just imagine. Anthony Martial picking up the ball from the left and running at the defence. A fearful proposition for any defence. Put Marcus Rashford in the space between the defenders ahead of him. Fascinating option. And now add Jadon Sancho at the far right, ready for the final ball. Any defence in the world would be terrified of such an attack and United have the opportunity to make it happen.

All three are similar players, fast, skilful and with an eye for goal. When these three start together and get into a rhythm, United would have one of the best-attacking trios in the world. The three of them could interchange across the front line and torment their markers. And the speed on the counter-attack would trouble even the best defences in the world.

United have not seen such an attacking unit since the trio of Tevez, Rooney and Ronaldo. Put Lukaku in the mix, and it would be reminiscent of Sir Alex’s famous teams which almost always had fantastic attacking talents edging each other on.
