Jadon Sancho goes from boy to man in England as Wayne Rooney did – Andy Dunn

Some players pbad boys to men in an international moment.

Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney, from the past – Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford in the here and now.

Add Jadon Sancho to this list.

He is only 19 years old on Monday, he has less than 50 appearances in senior clubs and this was his first start in a competitive match in England.

But Sancho is not conceivable, no crude coltish child who is going to need patience and care, no boy whose career path could go in all directions.

It's the real deal. Like many of the brightest personalities on the national team, his development process was brief.

He has only four caps in his career in England and it is hard to imagine a team without him.

Not only that, this young man is so overgrown with self-confidence, it's hard to imagine not believing that he should be in a team.

There is a short way to go between trust and self-confidence and you suspect that Sancho is more than happy to make this trip.

Confidence would have taken a panenka penalty against a senior goalkeeper in training.

Cockiness does it to the rabona.

It was reported that Jack Butland had put the 18-year-old in a difficult situation. I imagine that reluctantly, I play.

A dummy clasp would not have been the type of retribution required at the time of the old school.

This little cameo showed an insightful precocity that was evident when he arrived in Manchester City at the age of 14.

I watched him defeat Liverpool in a FA Youth Cup match and his free torment was part of his game plan.

The type of players is very different, but it has so many traits of the beginning, so much courage, presented by Rooney.

There is plenty of insurance, that's for sure.

His thank-you statement that he had been nominated by a popular website as the best teenager footballer in the world was a short thank you, followed by the insistence that Ballon D'Or was next on the list of priorities.

He is clearly not a fan of regulation trying to keep a place on his club's team and go step by step.

But every step impresses, that's for sure.

Has it sunk more than the strange impbade here? Absolutely he did it.

Has he sometimes been dispossessed of the comfort of the candy thief? Of course he was there.

How many pbades have confused the Czechs with their teammates? More than a couple.

Yet, these negative aspects are inevitable when you have a constant need to be involved.

Always visible, always a dart here and there, always trying to make the connection with a Kyle Walker still galloping.

And still in the back, just as he cashed Harry Kane's nice reverse pbad before providing the service to Raheem Sterling for England's first goal and the first of Manchester City's hat trick.

Sancho may have been a bit offside, but when he had the advantage, he took full advantage of it.

A record of help like the one he has already collected – and for those who like that kind of thing, now is 20 years for the club and the country – has only an intelligent simplicity.

This is what comes out of this help, but it also has a penchant for deceit. The filigree blood of Filip Novak testifies to this.

There was something a little flippant about a second half missing but its brightness took it into that position.

And whenever he took possession of it, an anticipation rumor resounded around Wembley.

They know that Manchester United, with a check for 100 million pounds, Gareth Southgate knows.

Jadon Sancho, no prospect, already the real deal.
