The sweet story of Van de Beek and Sancho

The interesting thing was that Sancho who joined United four months back for a whopping £73 million deal, scored his first goal.

The 21-year-old was given the chance by the Red Devils' caretaker manager Micheal Carrick and the youngster made his selection count.

After Ronaldo had put United ahead, Sancho wrapped things up as his shot went into the roof of the net from a Bruno Fernandes' assist.

After the final whistle, Van de Beek who also scored his first goal in United colours against Watford in the past weekend celebrated with his fellow benchwarmer.

Both players have started most of their games from the bench and have not had convincing performances which have brought huge criticisms on them.

However, the situation has changed as both stars are now enjoying first-team football and would hope to score more goals in the games to come ahead.
