Jadon Sancho has just sent another message to Manchester United with a remarkable Champions League semi-final performance against Paris Saint Germain.
It’s been some week for the Manchester United loanee. On Saturday, the English winger made German top-flight history by becoming the highest-scoring English footballer of all time in the Bundesliga.
Now, he put in an absolute masterclass of a performance against PSG in nothing less than a Champions League semi-final.
He gave Nuno Mendes a night to forget in Germany.

The 24-year-old unleashed the Sancho of old in front of the Yellow Wall on a sensational European night at the Signal Iduna Park.
Eden Terzic pulled off a famous 1-0 victory in the semi, which gives Dortmund the advantage heading into the second leg in Paris.
The standout performer on the night? None other than Manchester United’s £73m man, Jadon Sancho. The winger absolutely terrorised Nuno Mendes on the right-hand side.
His quality performance is reflected in some impressive stats on the night.
- 99 touches
- 51 passes completed
- 12/17 dribbles completed (most)
- 3 key passes

Fellow footballers were also impressed with his efforts.
