Jaden Sancho’s goal gave Manchester United a win over Leicester City in the English Premier League. This is Manchester’s third consecutive win in the league. And Sancho’s second goal of the season. United move up to fifth place with the win. United came out unchanged from the team that beat Southampton last weekend. Sancho’s clinical finish came after a move by Bruno Fernandes and Rashford in the 23rd minute.
Leicester have collected only one point from the first five matches. It was their worst start since 1994.
The star’s warning goal came hours after United confirmed they would spend £82 million (US$94 million) on Ajax’s Brazil winger Anthony to replace Sancho.
Cristiano Ronaldo was substituted in the second half for the third game in a row. Ronaldo was expected to leave United before the transfer window closed on Thursday. However, none of the Champions League qualified teams were ready to pay the club a huge amount of money to acquire the player. It is estimated that the arrival of Anthony will be more of a threat to Ronaldo.
