France and Paris Saint-Germain forward, Kylian Mbappe, has sent a heartfelt message to Jadon Sancho after Manchester United defeated Newcastle 2-0 at Wembley to win the Carabao Cup on Sunday.
United secured their first major honour in six years thanks to goals from Casemiro and Marcus Rashford.
Sancho came on in the 83rd minute to help United see out the final and secure the second major trophy of his career.
Sancho is regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting young players but has struggled for form since his £73million move from Borussia Dortmund in July 2021.
The 22-year-old recently took a break from football to work on his physical and mental fitness.
Sancho was left out of England’s World Cup squad and did not play a Premier League game for nearly four months.
He made his comeback at the beginning of February and was delighted to help Man Utd end their trophy drought at Wembley on Sunday.

The England international was spotted laughing and joking with Bruno Fernandes at full-time and posted a picture of him and Rashford with the Carabao Cup trophy after their victory. “Carabao Cup winners,” wrote Sancho on Instagram.
Sancho was congratulated by his peers – including Mbappe. “Good to see you with a smile,” wrote the France international – alluding to the Man Utd star’s recent break.
Sancho, who came through the ranks at Manchester City, made a name for himself after joining Dortmund in August 2017.
He went on to become a sensation in Germany – scoring 38 goals and providing 51 assists in 104 Bundesliga games.
