Former Chelsea defender Glen Johnson is warning the club about targeting Jadon Sancho.

The 73 million attacker is completely out of favor at United, as he does not even train with the senior squad.

Sancho has fallen out with manager Erik ten Hag, with his head coach demanding an apology for a social media post from Sancho that aimed criticism in his direction.

I think it's a move they should definitely avoid," Johnson told BetFred.

He has been at Manchester United for a long time and I can't recall a time where he's played three games or more in a row.

If you're not doing it at Manchester United, when you have more established and senior players in the dressing room that can kick you into shape, you're not going to do it at Chelsea either."
