Thierry Henry has accused Manchester United star Jadon Sancho of ‘playing within himself’.
And the Arsenal giants want Sancho to be ‘more lethal’.

Henry, 44, joined Amazon Prime Video’s coverage of United’s 3-1 win over Burnley last night.
Despite Sancho’s major contribution to his side’s second goal, he was still the subject of heavy scrutiny from Henry.
The Frenchman said: “This is the type of player you want to see but he is playing within himself.
“When you’re face-to-face, you should take down a player.
“But it was Luke Shaw who was forcing him to take those face-to-face.
“What happened when you beat your man from outside?

“They often want to get in too much. Just hit your man on the outside and be lethal.”
The Red Devils took the lead through Scott McTominay, before a big contribution from Sancho in the 27th minute.
He dribbled inside before reducing an effort across the target – Clarets defender Ben Mee caught the ball in his own net.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s tap-in secured the points, although Aaron Lennon was able to turn back the clock and attempt to console Burnley.
Last night’s outing was Sancho’s 21st appearance since his £73million move from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester United.
He has scored twice for United so far, with both attempts against Villarreal and Chelsea under caretaker Michael Carrick.
Sancho, 21, had fallen out of favor under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
His stats for United are in stark contrast to what he achieved last season in Germany – when he scored 16 goals and made 20 assists in 38 appearances.
