Manchester United great Paul Scholes praised Jadon Sancho after their win at Champions League opponents Villarreal.

Sancho scored his first goal for the club in the 2-0 triumph.

"He looked fitter than he has done. I was really pleased for him," Scholes told BT Sport. "A really young player who's had a difficult start. But I thought he was United's best player tonight.

"I think they need to use him more. Playing in this team is a little different, because he doesn't have a flying full back like he did at Dortmund, which I think helps.

"He wants to play further up. He's such a clever footballer. I think he's fitter. You just look at him, I think he looks half a stone slimmer."
