Jadon Sancho has named fellow youngsters Kylian Mbappe and Marcus Rashford as two of his main footballing inspirations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sancho has fired himself to prominence this season scoring nine goals and providing 13 assists across Bundesliga and Champions League appearances for Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n

Can Sancho hit the heights of Rashford and Mbappe? Four key things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Sancho has been directly involved in 22 goals for Dortmund this season.<\/li>\n
  2. That form earned the 18-year-old a first senior England call-up last year.<\/li>\n
  3. The winger has named Mbappe and Rashford as his inspirations.<\/li>\n
  4. The PSG and United youngsters have already amassed a combined eight major trophies and 300 club appearances.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    However, the 18-year-old believes he still has so much more to give and is looking to the achievements of Mbappe and Rashford for club and country as motivation to improve.<\/p>\n

    “Luckily enough I\u2019ve got great people around me to keep me grounded and humble,” Sancho told Dortmund\u2019s official YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    “I\u2019m grateful that I\u2019ve got them around me telling me I\u2019m not doing enough \u2013 there\u2019s the likes of Mbappe doing crazy things at PSG.<\/p>\n

    “They are the kind of people I need to compete with as he\u2019s so young and so am I.<\/p>\n

    “That always pushes me when I see Mbappe and Marcus Rashford doing well because I know they are probably looking at me and seeing what I\u2019m doing and it\u2019s probably pushing them.<\/p>\n

    “It\u2019s good to see other young players doing well.”<\/p>\n

    The kids are alright – Mbappe and Rashford’s achievements so far<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Despite having a combined age of just 41, Rashford and Mbappe already have an incredible 300 senior club appearances under their belts, scoring 123 goals between them along the way.<\/p>\n

    Despite playing during one of Man Utd’s toughest periods of the Premier League era, Rashford has already helped the Red Devils to FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League titles.<\/p>\n

    However, that trophy collection is dwarfed when compared to Mbappe’s, with the Frenchman already winning two French league titles, a French Cup and a French League Cup, while he is all-but certain to add another league crown this season.<\/p>\n

    And at international level, although Rashford helped England to an impressive World Cup semi-final last year, Mbappe again went one better, winning world football’s biggest prize and scoring four goals along the way.<\/p>\n
