Murphy has now told the 23-year-old Sancho to look at Gamacho and United’s recent performances as motivation.

“Garnacho was a revelation against Manchester City on such a big stage, he was a revelation when he came on,” Murphy told Daily Mail.

“Not many 18-year-olds could handle the occasion with a combination of maturity and fearlessness.

“If I was Jadon Sancho, I’d be looking at him and United’s performance as motivation.”
