Andre Onana: Critics of the Manchester United goalkeeper are missing the bigger picture
The Cameroon international has been mocked for conceding goals, but the Red Devils’ structure without the ball means they leave the shot-stopper exposed.
Solskjaer admitted that he was interested in the transfer at the time in a conversation with The Athletic.
He said, "Yes, I wanted to sign him. Manchester United will never sign a player the manager doesn’t want.
"That’s not the case everywhere. Jadon was put up as the No. 1 target for the right-wing by the scouts and when you look at his talent, I could see why.
"Unfortunately, it has not worked out. When he arrived, he had to go to hospital and that was a setback as he couldn’t start the first games.
"He’s immensely talented and we haven’t seen the best of him. I hope we do, but he prefers to play left wing… where Marcus (Rashford) plays."
Sancho has played 82 times for the Red Devils, contributing six assists and scoring 12 goals at Old Trafford.
