'He's arrived!' - Manchester United fans go wild as Jadon Sancho scores vs Southampton

Manchester United supporters have hailed Jadon Sancho after handing the Reds a first-half lead against Southampton at Old Trafford.

Starting on the left-flank, the England international found himself in the right place at the right time to net his second goal in three games, converting Marcus Rashford's low cross from close quarters.

United produced a quick counter-attack and Rashford's pace got United in behind the Saints rearguard, before he played the ball across the face of goal for Sancho to net his first Premier League goal at Old Trafford.

In what was proving to be an open and expansive opening 20 minutes or so, Sancho, just as he was against Middlesbrough and Burnley, was a real outlet on the left flank, enjoying several runs with the ball at his feet.

Having netted his second goal in as many home games, United's supporters took to social media to instantly hail the winger.

Below, MEN Sport has taken a close look at what they had to say.

As you can see from the messages displayed above, United's supporters have been impressed by Sancho's start to the lunchtime contest, hailing his first half showing, as well as his goal, although it was one of the more simpler ones he is ever likely to score.

Nevertheless, it will continue to inject confidence into his veins after struggling to make an impact following his move from Dortmund.

He has now scored four goals this season, two of which have come in the Premier League.
