Jadon Sancho 'in line to replace Daniel James against Southampton'

Sancho 'in line to replace James against Southampton'

Jadon Sancho is reportedly set to make his full debut for Manchester United in Sunday's Premier League clash with Southampton at St Mary's.

The England international, who moved to Old Trafford from Borussia Dortmund this summer, made his first appearance for the Red Devils as a substitute in the 5-1 win over Leeds United last weekend.

However, according to Manchester Evening News journalist Samuel Luckhurst, the attacker is likely to make his first start for the club against Southampton.

Luckhurst, in response to a question from a supporter, said that Sancho could replace Daniel James in the starting XI, with the remainder of the side potentially being unchanged.

As a result, fellow new arrival Raphael Varane, who was presented as a Man United player ahead of the Leeds clash, might have to accept a spot on the bench.

Sancho scored 50 goals and registered 64 assists in 137 appearances for Dortmund before joining Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side earlier this summer.
