Sancho returns Leon Bailey's trolling

Sancho and Bailey had a go at each other on Instagram before the game, but the Englishman had the last laugh over the Jamaican.

The United star posted on Instagram about his disappointment after dropping points at Tottenham and promised the fans they would make it right against Villa.

Bailey made fun of this with a cheeky comment about how things would unfold in their Sunday clash. As spotted by SportBible, the Red Devils winger responded after the game, which United won.

The two are familiar with each other during their days in the German Bundesliga, when Sancho played for Borussia Dortmund and Bailey donned the colours of Bayer Leverkusen.

Sports Brief also reported on Sancho seemingly telling Fernandes off during United's win over Aston Villa, after the captain complained to the winger.

As seen in a video making rounds on Twitter, fans spotted the star telling his captain to stop moaning, apparently in connection with a misplaced pass after the Portuguese complained of a misplaced pass.

There seems not to be much of a fuss about the incident, and it was taken as just a heat-of-the-moment exchange between Sancho and Fernandes.
