Emre Can Tells Jadon Sancho To Grow Up

Jadon Sancho has been warned he needs to "grow up" by Borussia Dortmund team-mate Emre Can after being fined for getting a haircut in his home, in breach of Germany's coronavirus restrictions.

The 20-year-old Manchester United target and his team-mate Manuel Akanji were fined by the German league after photos emerged of them having a trim in their own respective homes, with neither the players nor the hairdresser wearing any personal protective equipment (PPE) in the pictures.

Sancho issued his response on Twitter after the fine was confirmed saying: "Absolute joke DFL!"

Can has grown close to Sancho since joining Dortmund from Juventus in January and he believes the England international needs guidance off the pitch in order to enable him to make smarter decisions.

"Jadon needs a little guidance. He's a great boy, also off the pitch. It's true that I get along very well with him," Can told Sky Germany, after scoring the winner in Dortmund's 1-0 win over Hertha Berlin on Saturday.

"He just has to be a little bit smarter about these things. Everyone needs a hairdresser. He needs to grow up. He can't afford to make mistakes like that in the future.
