Jadon Sancho given advice by Roy Keane amid Manchester United struggles and Ronaldo arrival

Roy Keane has told Jadon Sancho that Manchester United are a 'different animal' to Borussia Dortmund.

A move four years in the making, the England forward is finally a United player after the Bundesliga side agreed to sanction his £72.9million return to the UK during this summer transfer window.

Sancho was followed through those same Old Trafford doors by Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, while Varane and five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo have made an instant impression - with the latter even winning Premier League player of the month for September - Sancho has yet to register a single goal or assist in nine early outings.

By contrast, the 21-year-old scored 50 goals and provided 64 assists in 137 games all-told for Dortmund.

Sancho won his 23rd cap for England against Andorra in Vella this evening and Keane has offered the United player some advice as he strives to eventually come good at Old Trafford and beyond.

How many goals/assists will Sancho provide this season? Have your say in the comments section below.

Speaking to ITV pre-match, the pundit and former United captain said: "It's certainly been a slow start for him, it's well and good doing well at Dortmund, but it's a different animal going to Man United, big expectations.

"Maybe overshadowed slightly with Ronaldo coming in, but I'd always give the kid a chance, he's been there a few months, nice opportunity for him [against Andorra], but give him a chance."

Sancho progressed through the Watford academy and spent two years at Manchester City before embarking on a German adventure between 2017 and 2021.
