Jadon Sancho: Borussia Dortmund wont want to lose Manchester United transfer target, says Chris McGuane, the coach who knows him best
Borussia Dortmund wont want to lose Jadon Sancho this summer, despite the lure of a big-money offer from Manchester United.That is the view of Sanchos former academy coach at Watford, Chris McGuane, who coached the youngster for five years from 2010.
5Jadon Sancho has taken the Bundesliga by storm with Borussia DortmundThe Premier League giants have been linked with an 80million move for the England international, who turned 19 on Monday.And Watfords former head of academy McGuane knew about Sanchos talent when he was just ten years old.He told talkSPORT: I think full credit goes to Jadon in terms of how much hes accelerated his own development.He was a talent, he was somebody who just wanted to play. We had to make sure we gave him the right environment to go and flourish and show what he can do.You knew somebody was there that had a real talent and could progress in the game. Its very difficult to judge a nine, ten, 11 or 12-year-old and where you think theyre going to end up.
5Jadon Sancho is a full England internationalBut you knew about Jadon, he had a determination about him, as much as he loved playing football, he wanted to be the best at everything he did, he wanted to stretch himself, he wanted to challenge himself.I think you see that now in terms of how much hes progressed in such a short space of time. Its full credit to him and his family.McGuanes professional affiliation with Sancho ended when the youngster joined Manchester City for an initial fee of 66,000 in 2015.After impressing in Citys academy for two years, his desire to play regular first-team football saw him reject a reported 30,000-a-week contract to join Dortmund for 8million.
5Chris McGuane knows Jadon Sancho very wellHe has become one of the most highly regarded youngsters in Europe due to his form over the past 18 months.Sancho has created the joint-most goals in Europes top five leagues, alongside Barcelona star Lionel Messi, with 12 assists this season.McGuane, who left Watford to join Nottingham Forest’s academy last summer, said: I think he was brave. At the time, there weren’t too many young English players playing abroad.He took the step. It doesn’t surprise you because all Jadon wants to do is play football at the highest level and push himself and challenge himself.So if he was given an opportunity to have discussions with another club and was told actually, theres a real chance of you playing in our first-team then it doesn’t surprise me that thats the route he took.
5Jadon Sancho is level on assists (12) with Lionel Messi this seasonHe just loves playing football. He plays with a smile on his face, I watched him the other night [against the Czech Republic], hes just doing all the things he used to do back when he was ten, 11, 12, 13 with us at Watford. Its great to see him continuing to kick on and progress with his career.Sanchos eight goals and 12 assists in the Bundesliga this term have caught Man Uniteds eye.
5Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly an admirer of Jadon SanchoThe tricky winger has three years left on his Dortmund deal – and could be worth even more if he helps his club to a first Bundesliga title in seven years.Dortmund trail leaders Bayern Munich on goal difference with eight games to go.When asked if he sees Sancho playing for a top Premier League club, McGuane said: Look, Jadon has got all the ability and talent and almost the world in front of him.
