JADON SANCHO has admitted he has faced a hard situation after the Manchester United transfer saga this summer.
The Borussia Dortmund ace has been persistently linked with a move to Old Trafford but the deal failed to materialise.

The transfer saga dragged on until October and Sancho has struggled for form in the opening months of the season.
Sancho told DAZN: “I am just happy that I am playing. I have coaches and teammates that believe in me. Recently, it’s been a hard situation for me.
“But it’s all about how I come back and have performances like this. They will hopefully get me back to the top, how I was playing before.”
Dortmund gave United a deadline of August 10 to sign the England international forward and demanded £108million.
But the Premier League club were not willing to pay this amount up front and wanted to offer instalments for the 20-year-old.
The saga rumbled on but United were unable to reach an agreement and Sancho’s form suffered.
Sancho has failed to score in the Bundesliga this season, after netting 17 goals in the last campaign, but the attacker scored a superb free-kick in Dortmund’s Champions League win over Club Bruges.
This effort could spark a return to his scintillating form from last season and United are likely to renew their efforts to sign him next year.
But their chances of signing him in January look slim and United may have to play the waiting game if they are to bring Sancho back to England.
It is a huge season for Sancho with the rescheduled Euro 2020 due to take place next summer and the attacker is likely to play a major role for Gareth Southgate’s England.
