Jadon Sancho has admitted he now feels "comfortable" at Manchester United after Erik ten Hag's side defeated Leicester 1-0 on Thursday night.
The Red Devils continued their good form at the King Power Stadium thanks to Sancho's first-half strike. They've now won three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since December, also picking up victories against Liverpool and Southampton.
The result sees United jump up to fifth in the table, six points behind early pacesetters Arsenal and one place ahead of bitter rivals Liverpool. Leicester, meanwhile, remain bottom of the Premier League with just one point from their first five fixtures.
Sancho, 22, joined United from Borussia Dortmund in a £73million deal 12 months ago. He struggled during his first season at Old Trafford - scoring just three Premier League goals - but has already found the net twice in the same competition this term.
The England international believes his game has improved thanks to having a full pre-season under his belt. Ten Hag deserves some credit for that as Sancho has trained under him since he arrived from Ajax at the beginning of the summer.
"This season I have done pre-season with the team, my first pre-season I missed so this year I have got to know the players a lot more and we have worked on a few things, and I am getting comfortable now," Sancho told BT Sport at full-time.

On his goal, Sancho added: "Yeah it was a great team goal. I am just happy I got a goal for the team and the three points."
Christian Eriksen, who joined United from Brentford on a free transfer earlier this summer, was equally as delighted with Thursday's result. "I think from the start we had a lot of things that we needed to change so we have done that by winning," he told BT Sport.
"It has not been beautiful for 90 minutes but it’s three wins in a row... at the moment we are winning 1-0 and keeping it tight. We obviously want to do better but it is a good build and we can take something from this and the three points is the most important."
Leicester did have chances to equalise but failed to beat goalkeeper David de Gea. On giving away opportunities, Eriksen added: "It was similar to [the] Southampton [game]. We did very well until they scored, they built the momentum but we had to make sure we came back and we did and we knew it was going to be a tight game until the end."
Leicester midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, meanwhile, was disappointed not pick up a point against United. "We are disappointed and frustrated," he told BT Sport. "Endeavour and hard work is there but we lacked that final bit of quality.
"We pushed to try to get the equaliser but it didn't come. We are just aching for the first win and then we can kick on. The lads gave everything and we were just frustrated not to get anything out of the game... we are hoping we soon click."
