After scoring the equalizer against Leeds United on Wednesday night, Manchester United forward Jadon Sancho thanked his teammates..
Sancho has had a difficult few months, with his last start for the Reds coming in October. He recently returned to Carrington after spending time in the Netherlands on an individual training programme.
Sancho made his first-team debut against Nottingham Forest in the League Cup last week, and he came off the bench against Leeds for the second time in as many weeks.
Sancho excelled with his quality of play and equalized in the 70th minute to earn the Reds a point. Earlier, Wilfried Gnonto and a Raphael Varane own goal had placed Leeds in command..
On the hour mark, Sancho was introduced, and Rashford equalized moments later with a superb header. Sancho’s moment arrived with 20 minutes remaining, as his strike eluded the Leeds defenders and nestled in front of the Stretford End..
Old Trafford roared, and the goal appeared to be the trigger for United to take all three points, but the visitors held out for a point. Sancho took to Instagram after the final whistle to inform his followers, “I can’t tell you how much I’ve missed this sensation. The team had incredible courage in order to stay in the game; we’ll play again on the weekend..
