Rio Ferdinand has praised Jadon Sancho for his Champions League performance for Borussia Dortmund - and explained why it may help Manchester United.
Sancho starred for Dortmund on Wednesday night in their Champions League semi-final first leg against Paris Saint-Germain. The on-loan United star was named the player of the match as Dortmund won the tie 1-0 thanks to a first-half goal from Niclas Fullkrug.
United loaned out Sancho to Dortmund in January after making just three appearances for the Reds in the first half of the season. Now the 24-year-old has become one of the key players for the Bundesliga club, featuring 17 times with three goals and two assists.

"He will come off this pitch on a high, we’ll see all these people going on about it on social media, and love it, and rightly so. I hate to go back, but I want to know what happened at Man United. Why didn’t it go well there?"
Ferdinand then went on to suggest potential theories for why Sancho's career at United hasn't gone as many would have hoped. The former Reds defender then explained why Sancho's performances for Dortmund may help United this summer in
