Jadon Sancho: Borussia Dortmund winger happy to play with club's 'special young players'

Borussia Dortmund forward Jadon Sancho says he is "really happy" to be sharing a pitch with the club's younger players and wants to help guide them.

"I love playing with this lot," said Sancho after starting a pre-season game in Switzerland on Wednesday alongside Jude Bellingham and Gio Reyna, both 17.

I'm really happy to share the pitch with them and guide them.

Both Dortmund and United will be in pot two for the Champions League group stage draw on 1 October and it could be argued there is very little difference between two clubs who will not be regarded as favourites for their domestic title in 2020-21.

The media spotlight on him would also not be as intense there as it would be for any English youngster who scored 17 goals and contributed 16 assists in the Premier League, as Sancho did in the Bundesliga last term.
