Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has admitted that he is concerned over Jadon Sancho's form at the club after the winger was dropped by Erik ten Hag.
United came from behind to beat Everton 2-1 at Goodison Park on Sunday night, as goals from Antony and Cristiano Ronaldo ensured that Alex Iwobi's edge-of-the-box strike after just five minutes was merely a consolation for the Toffees. Casemiro made his first Premier League start under Ten Hag, and the Brazilian repaid his manager's faith in him with a fine performance.
The only real blemish on the night came in the first half when Anthony Martial suffered yet another injury setback, as the Frenchman came off before the 30-minute mark due to an apparent issue with his back. Ronaldo replaced the 26-year-old as United's central striker, with Marcus Rashford and Antony occupying either wing.

Sancho was left out of Ten Hag's starting XI and ended up being an unused substitute. Ferdinand has now admitted he is concerned about the winger's downturn in form that led to his omission from the starting line-up.
Ferdinand told his Vibe with Five YouTube channel : "I haven’t seen [his Bundesliga form] yet. That’s the concerning thing for me. If I’m Jadon Sancho, or in Jadon Sancho’s camp, I am looking at ways in which I can unpick his game, his mind, to unearth the Sancho that made him a coveted talent around Europe.
"His numbers in Germany were great, he was doing marvellous things over there, but it hasn’t transferred over to the Premier League yet, and I don’t know why. What is the reason why? Is it because of the way the team set up? Is it because of the pace of the Premier League?
