JADON SANCHO scored a stunning goal for Manchester United in their 4-1 derby defeat to Man City.
But the winger, 21, refused to celebrate netting against old side City in the one-sided Etihad drubbing.

And United, missing several stars including crocked Cristiano Ronaldo, looked unable to cope as they were swamped all over the pitch.
However, a rare break came in the 22nd minute for Ralf Rangnick’s side.
A swift ball up the field saw United launch a quick counter attack against City’s threadbare defence.
Sancho picked the ball up outside City’s box before turning inside to create space.
And just as John Stones blocked Ederson’s view to the ball, Sancho let loose with a fine effort which curled past the Brazilian goalie and into the far corner.

United fans and Sancho’s teammates erupted in scenes of jubilance.
But the England star showed his class by refusing to celebrate the incredible strike.
Sancho joined City aged 14 from Watford in 2015 and was rated as one of their top academy prospects.
However, he left in 2017 following a contract dispute, eventually joining German giants Borussia Dortmund.
And last summer saw Sancho join City’s fierce rivals United for a whopping £73million fee.
However, his goal-scoring joy at the Etihad did not last very long.
That’s because De Bruyne fired City ahead with his second of the game just six minutes later.
Riyad Mahrez then put City 3-1 up in the 68th minute as United imploded.
And City ensured a dominant scoreline when Mahrez netted his second in the 90th minute for a 4-1 final scoreline.
