Jadon Sancho has vowed to bring flair and a winning mentality to Manchester United – and believes he has already forged a connection with team-mate Bruno Fernandes after sealing his long-awaited move to Old Trafford.
The England winger cost United £73million after finally snaring him from Dortmund following negotiations that were dragged out over the course of a year, and now the player says he is ‘buzzing’ to pull on the shirt and add some firepower to the team.
The 21-year-old has only just started training with his new side after feauring for England at Euro 2020 on their route to the final, but has declared himself ready to go for the new campaign despite his lack of preparation.

The 21-year-old has only just started training with his new side after feauring for England at Euro 2020 on their route to the final, but has declared himself ready to go for the new campaign despite his lack of preparation.
He spoke with United legend Rio Ferdinand ahead of the club’s season opener against Leeds United at Old Trafford on Saturday in the next instalment of ‘Rio Meets’ for BT Sport, telling him he was relieved to finally get his move.
‘It feels nice, definitely [to be a United player], I’ve been waiting a long time for this move I’m just glad it’s over now and I can get ready to start the season against Leeds. I’m buzzing.’
When asked by Ferdinand what United fans can expect of him, he replied: ‘Goals, assists, a bit of flair and definitely eager to win – that’s one of my things I’ve always done. Trying to help the team, winning is my mentality. Hopefully I can win a few games for Man United if it’s a close game. I’m looking forward to it.’
Ferdinand referenced players like Cristiano Ronaldo, who came to the club and made a big impact – and Sancho feels his hunger and desire to win will put United in good stead, and already sees a similar mentality from new team-mate Fernandes, who he has linked up well with in training.
