Jadon Sancho marked his first Premier League game since October with a goal as he rescued a draw for Manchester United.

Sancho’s right-footed strike equalised the game at 2-2 after Leeds had taken a shock 2-0 lead.

The draw was a disappointing result but it had looked at one stage as though Manchester United were heading towards a shock defeat.

Marcus Rashford pulled a goal back before substitute Sancho netted the equaliser.

What Sancho did at full-time

MUTV host Sam Homewood reported on the channel after the game that Jadon Sancho was the last player to leave the pitch at full-time.

This was because Sancho took extra time to go round to the home fans and applaud them, thanking them for their continued support.

Last week Sancho sent a message on social media, his first for months, thanking everybody for all the positive wishes he has received in recent weeks.

This was his second appearance of 2023 after his substitute appearance against Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup.

Sancho’s goal was his fourth of the season and first since September.

He has returned full of positivity, and his contribution was praised by MUTV pundit and former defender David May.

May said: “When Jadon came on it changed it totally. He’s found his form, he’s found his feet.

“He’s come back fresh and United are benefitting from that. [I’m] so pleased for him, that will do him an absolute world of good.”
