On a night when Manchester United reached a domestic cup final for the first time in six years one of the loudest cheers of the night was reserved for a substitute. The return of Jadon Sancho raised the roof at Old Trafford.
When the winger was called back by Erik ten Hag just before the hour mark against Nottingham Forest, with United cruising to Wembley, he was given some intense final instructions from his manager before a clench of the first that showed how desperate he was for Sancho to make an impact.
His first foray down the touchline to warm up in the first half had been greeted with warm applause and chants of 'Sancho, Sancho' from the Stretford End. His arrival on the pitch in place of Antony raised the decibel levels considerably.
