Manchester United transfer news LIVE Sancho and Ronaldo latest plus reaction to Sheriff win

Manchester United now have 16 days to wait until they're next in action but at least they got their Europa League campaign going on Thursday with a victory over Sheriff Tiraspol.

With Sunday's match against Leeds postponed due to the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on Monday, United won't be in action again until they face neighbours Manchester City in early October after the international break.

Erik ten Hag's side saw out the first section of the season by bouncing back from their loss to Real Sociedad last week and beating Sheriff in Moldova 2-0, standing them in good stead to make the knockout stages.

Jadon Sancho bagged the first with a fine finish following some lovely interplay, while Cristiano Ronaldo opened his account for the season from the penalty spot.
