Sancho starts as Man Utd beat Burnley 3-1 in behind-closed-doors friendly

One of United's big summer signings was involved as Solskjaer laid on extra minutes to those players who returned late from their international duties

Jadon Sancho started a match for the first time in a Manchester United shirt as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side beat Burnley in a friendly played behind closed doors at Old Trafford on Tuesday.

Sancho came off the bench as Man Utd beat Leeds 5-1 in their opening Premier League game of the season, having only been involved in a handful of pre-season sessions beforehand, but was deemed fit enough to start the friendly on Tuesday afternoon.
