‘Give the kid a break’- Roy Keane urges Manchester United fans to be patient with Jadon Sancho

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has requested the club’s fans to be patient with Jadon Sancho. The former Borussia Dortmund star is yet to provide an assist or score a goal in his first six games for Manchester United since joining the club this summer.

Jadon Sancho has started three games and came on as a second-half substitute in three games for Manchester United this season. The 21-year-old has struggled to make an impact when given the chance and has been unable to come to terms with the speed and physicality of the Premier League.

Former Red Devil Roy Keane has urged Manchester United fans to show their support towards Jadon Sancho and believes the youngster should be given time to settle.

“He’ll [Sancho] be fine. He’s been at the club what, two months. There’s been a lot of changes, new players coming to the club, give the kid a break. He’s still learning hid trade, he’s still a young player, big expectations,” Keane told Sky Sports.

“He’s come to a new club where he’s certainly not going to be star man, he”’ be down the pecking order and he’s got to adapt to all that. Give him a chance.”

Despite winning four and drawing one of their opening five games in the Premier League, Manchester United are yet to hit their stride this season. The Red Devils seem to be a level behind the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool.
