Manchester United is missing something when Jadon Sancho scores a goal that sends Borussia Dortmund into the quarterfinals.
Before leaving late in the game, the ousted Red Devils player scored a beautiful goal from 20 yards out that was enough to beat PSV 2-1 overall.

He looked like he was about to cry as he left the field.Credit: Getty Sancho, 23, said over the weekend that he is “disappointed” to have gone back to Dortmund on loan in January after a fight with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.
But he’s now scored two goals in a row after having a rough start. He’s now chasing a Champions League title while his future at United is still uncertain.
At kick-off, the Yellow Wall was going crazy, and Sancho’s first knockout goal scared them to death.
He moved it to his right, picked it up 20 yards out, and fired a stunning shot into the bottom corner.
They beat PSV badly in the first half without extending their lead, but a refreshed Sancho was in charge of everything.
There was a great chance for striker Niclas Fullkrug, but he missed it. Goalkeeper Walter Benitez made a great double save to keep his team in the game.
At that point, Dutchman Donyell Malen was just inches away as his old team held on at the Westfalenstadion.
As the first 45 minutes went on, PSV finally got a handle on things, with Belgian winger Johan Bakayoko being the biggest threat..
And Eindhoven forward Hirving Lozano hit the closest goal at the start of the second half. He hit a great shot from 25 yards out that hit the post while the goalkeeper was out of position.
In the 65th minute, Benitez made a great save to keep his team in the game by stopping Fullkrug. Shortly after, Dortmund’s Gregor Kobel made another great save to stop Bakayoko.
Sancho got hurt with 15 minutes left, and Dortmund seemed to be hanging on until Luuk de Jong, a striker for Newcastle, missed a simple goal with seconds left.
Still, Germany had time to make it 2-0 when substitute Marco Reus finished off a counterattack. This secured their spot in the last eight.
