The Red Devils are currently taking on Liverpool in Bangkok and lead thanks to Sancho’s measured finish, plus cheeky chips from Fred and Anthony Martial.

With the game 12 minutes old Bruno Fernandes picked up the ball on the edge of the Liverpool box.

The playmaker floated a ball towards the back post that Liverpool debutant Isaac Mabaya made a mess of clearing.

His scuffed kick landed directly at the foot of Sancho – who made no mistake and slammed home to make it 1-0 to the Red Devils.

The goal sent United fans into meltdown, with one writing on social media: “I’ve seen enough, give us the league now.”

Another gushed: “All u guys that were doubting Sancho last season I always said second best player at the club.”

And a third over-excited supporter wrote: “WE ARE WINNING IT ALL THIS SEASON… BE WARNED.”

Sancho has impressed in pre-season already, with fans left in an ecstatic mood after seeing a clip of him looking sharp in training alongside Marcus Rashford.

The winger’s goal today has only added to that excitement.

Fred doubled United’s lead with an outrageous chip over a stranded Alisson from the edge of the box.

Martial then had United fans in dream land when he made it three just after the half an hour mark with a gorgeous scooped finish.
