Jadon Sancho scored his third pre-season goal of the summer on Saturday to put Manchester United 1-0 up against Aston Villa in Australia.

Sancho volleyed home from the edge of the six-yard box midway through the first half at Perth's Optus Stadium after good work from Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw.

Rashford held onto the ball inside the penalty area before feeding the overlapping Shaw and his first-time cross fell very invitingly for Sancho, who had also netted against Liverpool and Crystal Palace earlier this month.

Sancho, Shaw and Rashford have 90 England caps between them but they were all left out of Gareth Southgate's most recent squad.

England manager Southgate likes to pick players based on form, while last season was United's worst in Premier League history.

If United's currently-exiled England trio can start the 2022/23 season in good form then there is every chance that they will make Southgate's squad for the World Cup in November.

Sancho and Rashford were involved in United's second goal against Villa too.

It came just before the half-time whistle when Sancho crossed for Rashford, whose volleyed shot flew into the net via a huge deflection off defender Matty Cash.

Villa stormed back in the second half to claim a 2-2 draw thanks to goals from Leon Bailey and Calum Chambers.
