Video: 1 assist, 3 key passes, 100% dribbles: United loanee’s redemption continues in massive league victory

Manchester United had two players in loan action on Sunday. To find out where all of United’s loanees are plying their trade this season, click here. Jadon Sancho After missing the match against Manchester United last week, Sancho returned to set up John McGinn in their 2-0 win over LOSC Lille in the Europa League. The Englishman has begun to play a more consistent role in Aston Villa’s team in the new year and played 67 minutes in Villa’s huge 2-0 victory over West Ham United in the race for the Champions League places. Sancho made an immediate impact by setting up McGinn with a pass outside of the area, which the Scotsman curled beautifully into the bottom corner of the Hammers’ goal. He also had three key passes in the match and had one shot that was blocked by the visitors’ defence. The winger also successfully completed 100% of his dribble attempts in the match. He was less successful in his duels, winning just one out of four. Aston Villa and Sancho will return to action against Bologna in the Europa League quarter-finals on 9th April. Marcus Rashford The Manchester United academy graduate has seen his game time decrease in recent weeks. He did not feature at all in the Champions League victory over Newcastle United in the middle of last week. What’s more, he was left on the bench again as Barcelona welcomed Rayo Vallecano to the Camp Nou. Rashford was substituted on in the 82nd minute of play. He did not manage any shots, but he did complete his only dribble attempt and all of his passes in his limited action. Rashford was also effective in duels, winning all three and his only tackle attempt. Barcelona return to league action on Saturday, 4th April, when they will face Atlético Madrid in a massive game in the La Liga title race.
