Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has explained why Jadon Sancho has not been able to replicate the form he showed at Borussia Dortmund.
The England winger spent a few months away from the first team, with Erik ten Hag giving the player a different training schedule to improve his mental and physical health.
The 23-year-old has registered four goals in 14 appearances in the Premier League this season and has worked his way back into the squad over the past couple months.

Scholes, however, feels Sancho has not been consistently at his best as Ten Hag does not know he preferred position.
"It is very difficult when you are in and out of the team all the time to find any consistency or any type of form. I think he has shown a lot of flashes of the talent we expected," the ex-midfielder told the Webby O'Neill YouTube channel.
"Look, he has been nowhere near what everyone thought we were going to get from Dortmund, but it might take a bit of time for him to settle down in the Premier League and get used to the pace of it.
"I think he has played in the middle at times as a No.10 and I really don't see him in that position; I see him on the left-hand side, really. But Marcus [Rashford] has been in top quality form out there. I know he played on the right-hand side at Dortmund and was brilliant.
"Sometimes, though, it is about the players you have got with you and the players at Dortmund suited him. He had [Achraf] Hakimi flying down the wing on the outside of him and was really quick."
