Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has heaped praise on Manchester United target Jadon Sancho, describing him as a “crazy” talent.

The 20-year-old has been in scintillating form for Borussia Dortmund this season, scoring 14 goals and assisting 15 in just 23 Bundesliga games.

The Englishman has subsequently been linked with a number of Premier League teams, with Chelsea and Man United both interested in the £120million England forward.

Sancho – who left Man City for Germany in 2017 – crossed paths briefly with De Bruyne during his time at The Etihad, with the Belgian revealing he was impressed by the youngster during training.

Speaking to Belgian team-mates Romelu Lukaku and Alex Witsel live on Instagram, De Bruyne revealed just how stunned he was by the soon-to-be superstar.

“He is crazy,” De Bruyne said. “It’s weird, I trained a few times with him and he was gone - unbelievable.

“Sometimes it goes like this but it is good for him.

“Now if you want him you have to pay… I don’t want to know!’

England team-mate Marcus Rashford has also been full of praise for the talented youngster, stating he would love to see Sancho join United.

He said: "It would be good, Sancho's a great player, he's sort of like the new-generation player.

“It's definitely exciting to watch him becoming the player that he's becoming, so credit to him.

"Hopefully we can play together and that can be good."
