Manchester United win three straight with Jadon Sancho’s goal against Leicester


Thursday’s 1-0 victory against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium gave Manchester United their third consecutive Premier League victory. Jadon Sancho scored the game-winning goal in the first half.

Sancho rounded goalkeeper Danny Ward and slipped the ball in in the 23rd minute after being set up by Marcus Rashford after a right-wing burst by Bruno Fernandes.

James Maddison came close for Leicester with a stunning free kick that forced David De Gea of Manchester United to make an outstanding save, but the home team struggled to generate opportunities.

United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, decided to replace Wayne Rooney with Cristiano Ronaldo in the 68th minute since the team lacked a cutting edge after the half.

Ronaldo, who had been linked with a move away from the club throughout the summer window, came close to scoring with a bicycle kick and gave United’s offensive a boost.

United earned back-to-back road triumphs as Leicester’s James Justin fired high and wide from a great position on the right as Leicester had a late opportunity to equalize.

United is now in fifth position with nine points after five matches, six points behind leaders Arsenal and four points behind second-place Manchester City. Leicester remains in last place with one point.

  5. Onismor Bhasera has been designated the new captain of SuperSport United by new head coach Gavin Hunt in the DStv Premiership. The veteran left-back from Zimbabwe, age 36, has replaced Ronwen Williams, who joined Mamelodi Sundowns, another Tshwane team. “He has extensive experience” (Gavin Hunt) Bhasera joined Matsatsantsa from Bidvest Wits in 2016 and has since participated in 156 games across all competitions for the team. Bash will serve as the team’s captain this year, according to a report from Gavin Hunt on Soccer Laduma. “He is a fantastic professional, and he has the experience. I believe he will accept the position since he is a leader. He will do well in this capacity, in my opinion. “It’s crucial for someone to join and be verbal and maintain the highest standards imaginable, which is true both on and off the field. Bash will succeed, I’m confident. He has my complete backing. I choose him. The vote was democratic. That was me. Being the captain carries a lot of responsibility, Bhasera continued. SuperSport is a large club, but I have to take it on with both hands and undoubtedly set an example by going out there myself. It’s going to be an exciting season because I have to play at the top of my game. “Ronwen did a great job for the club, so it’s a major loss, but it also presents a great opportunity for someone else to step forward and take his or her place. Williams has left, but that is football. The players are constantly on the move. He’ll do well at his new club, we hope. SuperSport United placed ninth in the DStv Premiership last year, but this year, larger things are anticipated from the team.
