Sancho could be given lifeline
Jadon Sancho could be given a Manchester United lifeline when Sir Jim Ratcliffe joins the club.
Billionaire chemical engineer Ratcliffe is buying a 25 per cent stake in United from the unpopular Glazer family for £1.3billion.
And the mega-rich businessman will turn to his chief lieutenant Sir Dave Brailsford in a bid to turn the club around.
According to The Mirror, Brailsford is taking a psychology-based approach alongside therapist Steve Peters at Team Sky.
And it could prove to benefit squad outcast Sancho, who has been exiled from the first team since September.

Ten Hag's Onana talks
Man Utd are in talks with the Cameroon football authorities to stop Andre Onana from having to go to the Africa Cup of Nations Finals, writes Neil Custis.
The Red Devils goalkeeper fears he could lose his number one place at Old Trafford if he is missing in the New Year for up to six games on International duty.
The rules of the competition state, however, that he will be banned from playing for his club if he refuses a call up for the Finals.
But manager Erik ten Hag said: “When they call him, he has to go. But we are in talks.”
Onana had retired from international football after a bust up with Cameroon coach Rigobert Song which saw him leave their World Cup camp in Qatar a year ago after just one game.
The 27-year-old has since made peace with Song – who played for Liverpool between 1999 and 2001 – and done a U-turn on playing for his country.

United should have kept De Gea – Robbie Savage
Former Manchester United academy graduate Robbie Savage has said United were wrong to sign Andre Onana, and that they should have kept De Gea instead.
Savage said to Planet Sport Bet: "De Gea was really good at keeping the ball out of the back of the net. In his last season he might have made a few mistakes, but he still won four Player of the Season awards at United and the Golden Glove last season!
“It’s not all about Onana because as a collective, Manchester United have been all over the place at times. However, people are now starting to ask whether they should re-sign De Gea. I’m not sure that should be the case, because he doesn’t fit Erik ten Hag’s style of playing out from the back.”

"We have more than 11 players and we have good options there, like Sofyan [Amrabat], who also showed [that] as he played a very good game.
"We have many options but we have to manage the load of the players. It is also about freshness as well.''

Case closed
Kobbie Mainoo should keep Casemiro and Sofyan Amrabat out of Manchester United's starting XI, according to former Red Lee Sharpe.
The 18-year-old has been superb for the Red Devils in their last two games.
And Sharpe told 888sport after the Champions League game: "He looks like a natural in the team. He slots in and doesn’t panic in situations.
"There were a couple of players around him last night, but he kept the ball and displayed some nice touches, he just never gets flustered.
"He always looks composed and knows what’s around him – he comes across as an experienced first-teamer, but he’s only been in the team for two minutes.
“I’ve got high expectations for him – hopefully the manager and the club can protect him and play him at the right times.
"When you’re bringing off your new signing, Sofyan Amrabat, who you’ve paid millions for, to replace him with a young lad, it says a lot about his ability.
"You’ve also got Casemiro not playing at the moment, and I think Mainoo can keep each of them out of the team – I reckon he’s better than both of them.”
