The Dutch Feyenoord also got his first points with a landslide 6-0 victory over Austrian Sturm Graz in Group F, in which Italy’s Lazio lost 1-5 away to Denmark’s Mittelland.
But Greek Olympiakos, who was a regular participant in the European Champions League, hopes to advance from Group G already seem slim, as they lost 3-0 to German hosts Freiburg, for whom Michael Grigoric scored a double to rise to the top.
United’s revival in the Premier League was interrupted by a lackluster home defeat by Real Sociedad last week, but they responded with a victory in Moldova.
Sancho, who was surprisingly left out of the England squad earlier in the day, scored United’s opening goal in the 17th minute after some superb work in the penalty area.
Veteran Ronaldo, who coach Eric Ten Hag put in the starting line-up after sitting on the bench in the first weeks of the season in the league, added the second goal from a penalty kick in the 39th minute, to score his 699th goal with clubs.
Sharif, who brought down Real Madrid at home in the Champions League last season, was a threat from time to time, but three-time European champions Manchester United were not alarmed.
The “Red Devils” joined Sherif with 3 points in Group E, while Real Sociedad, who beat United last week, leads the standings with 6 points after beating Omonia Nicosia 2-1.
