Many Manchester United fans have taken to social media to single one player, in particular, out for praise following a positive first-half showing vs Crystal Palace.
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace
United are currently locked in Premier League action with Palace at Old Trafford.
The game marks the start of Ralf Rangnick’s stint in Manchester.
And, despite his limited time in charge thus far, the German’s impact has evidently already been felt by the United players.
Every Red Devils star on the pitch began Sunday’s tie pressing effectively and causing Palace problems.
In turn, though the hosts have yet to break the deadlock, they have completely dominated proceedings so far.
Jadon Sancho praised
As outlined above, pretty much every United player has looked bright to this point in proceedings on Sunday.
But there is one man in particular who has looked sharpest of all. The player in question? Jadon Sancho.
Sancho started versus Palace as the right-sided wide player in Rangnick’s 4-2-2-2. But he was quickly moved over to the left.
And since this switch, the English international has looked very impressive, bursting forward with the kind of confidence and drive we had not yet seen from him in a United shirt.
As a result, many fans have taken to social media on Sunday to praise Sancho for his first-half display, with just some of the best tweets showcased below:
Sancho is so so so good
