Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has sought to ease expectations around new signing Jadon Sancho.

Solskjaer - who is preparing the team for their Premier League season opener against Leeds United on Saturday - has warned that no one should expect him to be flying from the very first game after a lack of training.

"He has had a holiday after the European Championships and then he has been a little sick, unfortunately," he told TV2.

"He has had one-and-a-half training sessions with us, so he has not trained much.

"It may take some time before he gets into top shape, but throughout the season he will be very important to us.

"He is a player I am sure will give us many happy moments in the years to come."
