Jadon Sancho CAN score regular goals for Manchester United, insists manager Erik ten Hag - after the £73m winger scored the winning goal against Leicester on Thursday

Erik ten Hag backed Jadon Sancho to become a prolific goalscorer after sealing Manchester United's victory against a Leicester side that Brendan Rodgers admits face an uphill battle after a quiet transfer window.

The Red Devils continue to make progress following their wretched start to the season and left the King Power Stadium having secured a third straight Premier League win.

Sancho scored a fine effort in the victory against Liverpool and added a cool first-half goal in Thursday's 1-0 win against Leicester, with Ten Hag hopeful more are to come after the forward's difficult first season at United.
