It has emerged that only two Manchester United players congratulated Jadon Sancho for accomplishing a Bundesliga record over the weekend.

He moved to Borussia Dortmund on loan during the January transfer window after he differed with Manchester United head coach, Erik ten Hag.

At the time, the 24-year-old had publicly told off the Dutch manager, who had openly questioned his performances during training sessions.

The discord between the two led to Sancho returning to his former club, Dortmund, for the rest of the season. The Englishman has gone on to enjoy a largely successful reunion with the German side.

SPORTbible reports that he set a unique record on Saturday after he scored a consolation goal for the Black and the Yellows in their 4-1 hammering by RB Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena.

Per the publication, Sancho is the England player to have scored the most goals in the Bundesliga. The forward has a record 40 goals after his latest strike in their weekend fixture.

Man United duo congratulate Sancho

The star took to his social media to appreciate all the fans who had travelled to watch their match against RB Leipzig.

"A result to reflect on… thank you for the travelling fans who came to support us today!" Sancho posted.

Manchester United striker, Marcus Rashford, who is arguably one of Sancho’s best buddies at United, replied with two love emojis to express happiness at the milestone the Dortmund striker had achieved.

Shea Lacey also took time to congratulate Sancho for the achievement.

"The man," Lacey wrote.

No other Man United stars appear to have reacted to the Englishman's feat, which could be telling.

Meanwhile, Sancho is expected to be in the Dortmund squad that will face Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League semi-final fixture.

Sancho highlights vs Atletico Madrid go viral

Sports Brief also previously reported on Sancho’s highlights against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final.

Despite not getting on the scoresheet, he was a consistent threat and showed great confidence on the ball down the flank.
