“I spoke to him (Rashford) while he was here last season and I know he really enjoyed it," Sancho said.

“He said so many lovely things about the club, like how it’s a family and you feel that friendly environment with great players and staff. I definitely felt that as I came in.”

Sancho also said, “As a player and especially as a team, we have to be achieving big things. We have to be looking towards that, and hopefully I can help the team to achieve some of those goals. The team comes first, so whenever the manager needs me I’ll be ready.

“I’ve got individual goals, but my main goal is for the team. Achieving something as a team is much more special than individually.

“I feel like all players have individual goals, but the team always comes first. I’ll be looking to achieve goals with the team first.”
