Carlisle United boss Paul Simpson has advice for Manchester United regarding Jadon Sancho.

The England winger has struggled to find his best form with the Red Devils since signing from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2021.

Sancho is presently working on his fitness as part of an individual training program, before he joins back up with his teammates for the rest of the club season.

"I think the big thing that I take out of it is that he's still a young lad," Simpson, who coached Sancho as a junior, told The Mirror when asked about Sancho's situation.

"You probably have to say he had a meteoric rise.

"He signed for City when he was young and decided to leave because he couldn't see an opportunity. He then went to Dortmund which surprised a lot of people, but he was absolutely outstanding and did well for England in the development teams. And then he's come back here to United and it just hasn't happened yet.

"But he's still a young lad. Jadon's 22 years old and he's got a loads of football ahead of him. He's not coming towards the end of his career, he's at football club with a group of staff there who will look after him. It then has to come down to Jadon, he's got to do the work to get himself of back in the team."
