Jadon Sancho has recently shared insights into the lessons he learned from Cristiano Ronaldo during their time together at Manchester United. The 23-year-old winger, now on loan to Borussia Dortmund after being excluded from the United first-team in September, addressed the issue on social media, emphasizing that he was not a “scapegoat” and urging followers not to believe everything they read.
Despite a challenging period at Manchester United, Sancho, who returned to Dortmund on loan to revive his career, has shown promising signs in his first two appearances, contributing an assist and winning a penalty.
In an interview with Dortmund’s YouTube channel, Sancho discussed the impact of Cristiano Ronaldo on his development, describing the Portuguese forward as a “great professional” and one of his role models. Sancho praised Ronaldo’s mentality, emphasizing the importance of training at the highest level, both on the field and in other aspects such as gym work, recovery, and sleep. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to play alongside Ronaldo, calling it a dream come true.
The irony in Sancho’s admiration for Ronaldo lies in the context of his earlier exclusion from the United squad due to training performance—an incident he disagreed with and continues to address. Sancho’s punctuality has also been a subject of scrutiny over the past year.
Despite the external noise and challenges, Sancho remains focused on reigniting his career and appears determined to make the most of his loan spell at Dortmund.
