Jadon Sancho has lauded Christian Eriksen after Manchester United beat FC Sheriff in the Europa League.

It was an important win for United before the international break and Sancho reflected on the result in his post-match interview.
The forward took the chance to praise Eriksen, while he also admitted that the dressing room are happy for Ronaldo.
"Starting the campaign [Europa League] with a defeat was an upsetting result, so we knew today was a must-win," Sancho told MUTV after the game. "I'm delighted to score and I have to keep on working hard for the team.
"Christian [Eriksen] has many qualities, I think all of us know that. You can see how he plays, he is very comfortable on the ball and he has the composure to find a pass, so we're delighted to have him here.
"[And] when Cristiano's confidence is up, he scores one, two, three or four, so we're happy for him."
