Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince questions whether Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would be able to take Jadon Sancho to the "next level" if he joins the club.

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince has warned Jadon Sancho to consider whether Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would be the right manager for him.

The Borussia Dortmund winger has been heavily linked with a big-money move to Old Trafford this summer, following a campaign which has seen him directly contribute to 30 goals in just 23 Bundesliga appearances.

The Red Devils are thought to be leading a host of Europe's other top teams in the race for the 20-year-old's signature, but Ince believes that Sancho should have reservations over whether Solskjaer is capable of taking him to the "next level".

"Sancho needs to consider the manager as well as the team, is Ole the man to take him to the next level? When it comes to transfers, it's not just about the team, it's about the manager," Ince told Paddy Power.

"Let's look at Raheem Sterling as an example, Pep Guardiola has turned him into a world class player through his coaching and guidance. Sometimes as a player, it's about looking at a team's manager and coaching staff and whether they'd take you to that next level. That's a decision Sancho will need to make.

"We know that Pep is experienced in that area, we know he can improve a player. But can Ole Gunnar Solskjaer? We don't know that, whatsoever. We have no clue what he's like at developing a player of that magnitude. He's clearly trying to develop a young team, so that will help, but in terms of actually the man to man management and development of someone like Sancho, he's a total unknown.

"We've not seen any evidence yet that he can take a player to the next level. We've seen it with Pep, and we've seen it with Jurgen Klopp, and the best managers are the ones who can take a player to that new level and improve them. Ole's not at that yet, it doesn't mean he can't do that, but we've not had that proof yet.

"To use myself as an example, when I went to Inter Milan, I became a far better player under Roy Hodgson. He truly took my game to a next level, I felt fitter, stronger, my awareness went up tenfold. That, plus the change in culture and experience that I had. Sancho needs to consider all of those factors, culture, environment, team and ultimately the manager."

Borussia Dortmund are expected to command in excess of £100m for Sancho.
