Luke Shaw is backing Jadon Sancho to rediscover his true capabilities after scoring Manchester United's equaliser in Wednesday evening's 2-2 draw with Leeds at Old Trafford.
Trailing 2-0 just three minutes into the start of the second half, United faced an uphill struggle in their hopes of avoiding a first home defeat since September. The in-form Marcus Rashford pulled a goal back just past the hour mark, heading home his 20th goal of the campaign after rising highest inside the penalty area to meet Diogo Dalot's delivery, ahead of Sancho bringing the Reds level eight minutes later.
The winger, who had stepped off the bench to replace Wout Weghorst just before the hour mark, saw a Shaw cross deflect into his path and he made no mistake to coolly curl home his first goal since September and make it 2-2 with 20 minutes of normal time left on the clock. It was an emotional moment for the England international, who was making just his second appearance since his extended run out of the team.
