Man Utd midfielder Fernandes happy for goalscorer Sancho: We need him

Manchester United ace Bruno Fernandes welcomed Jadon Sancho's goalscoring performance for their 2-2 draw with Leeds last night.

Sancho jumped from the bench to grab the equaliser.

“We need everyone available and back as soon as possible," Fernandes said on MUTV. “Today Jadon got the chance to play a little bit more and he did his job really well, he scored his goal – and hopefully it will give him a boost for the future because we know how good Jadon can be. We just need him in full confidence to give his best for the team.

"It's always two points dropped at our home.

“It has to be tough for everyone to come here, score goals and gain points from us. We gave up a point to Leeds, we lost two points for us. We could have won the game, because we had the chances at the end, we were a little bit unlucky in some situations but it's gone now and we have to look forward to the next game.

“At this stadium, with these fans, these players with the desire and the passion we have, it will never be a problem. It can't happen, to be 2-0 down, but whenever we go down, it will never be a problem to fight back and turn around the result.

"Today I have massive appreciation for the fans for what they did – they push us until the very end."
