England left-back Luke Shaw has revealed he heaped praise on his new Manchester United colleague Jadon Sancho for his display against Ukraine.
Both players had starring roles as the Three Lions won 4-0 on Saturday to reach the Euro 2020 semi-finals. Shaw notched two assists while, Sancho put in a fantastic performance, despite only making his first tournament outing.
The 21-year-old offered a new threat for England, who have played Jack Grealish and Bukayo Saka in the same position.
In an interview after the match, Shaw opened up on his admiration for his new club colleague’s performance.
“Brilliant. I said to him after the game ‘that’s a big performance’,” Shaw said.

“He hasn’t had too much game time, he’s been, not disappointed but wanting to play like everyone else.

“He’s kept his head down, he’s kept working hard and I feel like tonight he took his chance.

“He showed people why we’re buying him and of course, even though I was on the pitch, I was impressed with his performance.”

Shaw added: ” I’m looking forward to him becoming a Manchester United player and I will keep getting on to him to keep those high standards up.

“Today I was really happy and proud of his performance.
With Sancho’s Man Utd transfer from Borussia Dortmund going through during Euro 2020, Sancho said that his main focus is on the Three Lions’ quest for glory.
Nevertheless, he admitted that he feels excited about moving to Old Trafford with his international colleagues.
“Yeah, Luke is a great lad,” Sancho told his interviewer. I always have a good relationship with him, Marcus and Harry so it’s going to be fun.”
Sancho will arrive at United having scored 38 goals and assisted 51 others in 104 Bundesliga appearances.
