Jadon Sancho moment vs Leeds could give Erik ten Hag a problem at Manchester United

For Jadon Sancho, Wednesday night was almost the dream return. The England international came off the bench and scored a vital equaliser for Manchester United, but the Reds - to the surprise of many - weren't able to go on and get a winner against Leeds.

The 22-year-old attacker was named in a league matchday squad for the first time this year against Crystal Palace last weekend, but he remained an unused substitute. However, with the Reds trailing 2-0 to Leeds at Old Trafford in midweek, Sancho was introduced. Just minutes later, his England teammate Marcus Rashford pulled a goal back for the home side. United had the goal they needed.

Erik ten Hag's men pushed for an equaliser against the Whites, but for some time, it appeared as though it was going to be one of those days for the Reds. Yet, Sancho, who had spent a period away from the first team, made his mark. The former Borussia Dortmund man was sent on in the 59th minute - and he grabbed the equaliser just 11 minutes later.
