Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes Paul Pogba will help unlock Jadon Sancho's true potential after encouraging signs from the winger.
Sancho struggled to cement a place in the first-team after his move from Borussia Dortmund but following the appointment of Ralf Rangnick, he has shown greater faith in the England international rewarding him with a string of appearances.
Statistically, it has been disappointing for Sancho after the eye-catching numbers he produced in the Bundesliga with a return of just four goals and no assists in 25 appearances for United.
But, for Scholes, there is still more to come from the 21-year-old but is pleased with the recent signs.
He told BT Sport: "Well look, we still expect more assists-wise and goals-wise still want more from him.
"But I think the last two or three weeks has been encouraging. The first part of the season he was in and out of the team, couldn't get a run going and now he's found himself playing the last three or four weeks. Every player will tell you definitely helps.
"We do expect more and I think at Dortmund, he assisted a lot of times and had great relationships with his left-back and centre-forward, I don't think he's quite found a relationship yet with Cristiano [Ronaldo] or [Edinson] Cavani or whoever has been playing in that role.

"I think that'll come, the relationship with Luke [Shaw] is looking strong, powerful, they look like they know each other's game, there's a source of goals coming from that side.
"I think Paul Pogba, a clever footballer, coming into the team will help him.
"That's what happens when you spend all that money. When he comes in you expect 15 goals, 15 assists, it's not quite happened for him yet, but what we've seen lately has been really encouraging."
