Lucien Favre delighted to keep Jadon Sancho | OneFootball

Lucien Favre has expressed his delight at keeping Jadon Sancho at Borussia Dortmund this season.

Sancho has been the subject of public interest from Manchester United throughout the summer but a deal has yet to be struck between the two clubs.

The 20-year-old looks set to stay at the Westfalenstadion for the 2020/21 campaign.

Dortmund head coach Favre has reaffirmed this stance, speaking to Keystone-SDA: “We need him, no question.

“Everyone was happy that he stayed. We don’t need to talk long about its qualities – they are enormous.

“He scores and sets up a lot of goals and can often make all the difference.

“But there are some details that Sancho needs to improve. That is quite normal for a 20-year-old.”

Sancho scored 17 goals and provided 17 assists last season, and could play some part in Dortmund’s DFB-Pokal tie with MSV Duisburg on Monday.
