Bruno Fernandes is hoping Jadon Sancho can return to his best after scoring his first goal for Manchester United since his return.
Sancho spent time away from the first-team throughout November and December, as he looked to improve his fitness levels and rediscover his form, and he returned to Carrington in mid-January ahead of his return to action.
The winger finally made his return against Nottingham Forest in the League Cup last week and, although he was an unused substitute versus Crystal Palace, he was able to score from the bench to produce an equaliser on Wednesday night.

Sancho scored against Leeds in the 68th minute to make that game 2-2 at Old Trafford and his goal meant the points were shared.
Erik ten Hag was visibly delighted for Sancho on the touchline and Fernandes was asked about the player following the draw.
"Yeah, we need everyone available and back as soon as possible," Fernandes told MUTV. "Jadon was back two games ago and today he had a chance to play a little more. He did his very job well, he scored his goal and hopefully that will give him confidence.
"Hopefully it will give him a boost for the future because we know how good Jadon can be and we just need him with full confidence to give his best for the team."
Fernandes was also asked about playing Leeds again at Elland Road on Sunday and he warned United will learn from the draw.
"We know how to win there, so it's just about doing the right job, having the right mentality," he added. "It's time to understand what we did wrong today because the game is really close, it will be pretty similar, but I'm sure we can win in every stadium.
"I'm not worried about going anywhere."
