JADON SANCHO dedicated his goal against Sheriff Tiraspol to a young fan who gifted him a special pair of personalised shin pads.
The 22-year-old winger – who was earlier left out of the England squad – gave Manchester United the lead after just 17 minutes in Moldova during the Europa League clash.
Former Dortmund ace Sancho was perfectly picked out by Christian Eriksen on the edge of the area.
He jinked past one defender before then placing the ball in the bottom corner.
However, it was his actions after the goal that got supporters talking on social media.
As his teammates came to congratulate him, Sancho reached down to pull out one of his shin pads.

He then lifted it up to the sky as the reason behind it soon emerged.
Footage had emerged earlier this week of Sancho signing a matchday programme for a young fan after stopping in his car.
As he handed it back to the kid, he then received a special gift.
The boy gave Sancho personalised shin pads that had the England international’s face on.

The lad’s parent then told Sancho that he should wear them in his next game, with the United ace giving the kid a high five and replying: “Of course I will.”
And United fans absolutely loved it that he kept his promise – while it was also described as “lovely” by England legend Gary Lineker.
One tweeted: “Sancho wearing the shin pads that lil kid gave him is so wholesome.”
Another wrote: “Sancho wearing the shin pads that fan gave him, what a guy!”
A fellow fan commented: “That Jadon @Sanchooo10 dedicated that goal to the young fan who gave him those shin pads… classy and heart-warming. And totally made that kid’s year!”
While another wrote on Twitter: “What a nice gesture this is. Sancho is a class act.”
