As stated by the Sun, Jadon Sancho delivered an outstanding performance for Manchester United, scoring a goal as they secured a 2-0 victory against Arsenal in New Jersey.
In his third pre-season appearance for the Red Devils, Sancho played in the false 9 position, and while his previous two outings were underwhelming, he showed immense potential tonight.
Despite only playing for 45 minutes due to halftime substitutions, the English star made a lasting impression. He capitalized on a loose ball towards the end of the first half, leaving the Arsenal defence stunned, and emphatically struck the ball into the top of the net.
Sancho showcased his effectiveness on the ball. He successfully completed all three dribbles attempted, although his passing was slightly less accurate, with six out of nine attempts finding their target.
