In September 2022 Jadon Sancho made headlines for wearing a pair of shinpads gifted to him by a young fan.
Jadon Sancho signed for Manchester United in July 2021 for a fee of around €100 million from Borussia Dortmund. Since then, he has struggled to comand a place in the starting lineup but he is clearly a player of great talent.
After scoring an important goal in the Europa League away to Sheriff, Sancho celebrated by revealing one of his shinpads.
After the game he explained his reasons for doing so;
A kid asked me to wear them, It was a little gesture from me, when I scored, to show him I was wearing shin pads.
He later tweeted: "This is for you Jacob, Young Legend."
All this might sound a little familiar with readers of this blog. Young Jacob has also presented Manchester United team mate, Marcus Rashford, with a pair of shinpads too.
While it's likely that Sancho has returned to wearing standard Nike shinpàds, these custom made gifts were produced by the talented team at Matikz.com who specialise in custome made shinpads.
