Jadon Sancho’s career resurgence at Chelsea continues to make waves, with his latest social media post leaving Manchester United fans questioning his loyalty. Following Manchester United’s dismal 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Sunday, Sancho shared a subtle yet telling celebration photo, seemingly trolling his parent club in the process.
The Red Devils endured a nightmare afternoon against Spurs, falling behind to Brennan Johnson’s opener. Bruno Fernandes’ red card compounded their misery, and goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke sealed United’s fate. The loss marks United’s joint-worst start in Premier League history, sitting a lowly 12th, and adds more pressure to manager Erik ten Hag, whose future is now hanging in the balance.
Meanwhile, Sancho, currently thriving at Chelsea, appeared to revel in United’s misfortune. Shortly after United’s humbling defeat, Sancho retweeted a post from Chelsea’s official account. The post featured a celebratory image of the winger embracing teammate Cole Palmer after Chelsea’s 4-2 triumph over Brighton, accompanied by a blue heart and a smiley emoji. The timing of this retweet, coming so soon after his parent club’s thrashing, didn’t go unnoticed, sparking debate online about whether it was a subtle dig at United.
Sancho has hit the ground running since his loan move to Stamford Bridge, registering three assists in his first three appearances. He narrowly missed scoring his first goal for Chelsea, denied by a VAR offside call. The winger seems rejuvenated in his new environment, expressing his joy after his Chelsea debut.
“Overall, I was just happy to play at Stamford Bridge for the first time as a Chelsea player. It was a great feeling, and I really appreciated the reception I got from the fans,” Sancho said. “I’m settling in well here and I just want to keep this momentum going and keep being able to assist my teammates. Or even get a first goal, that would be nice!”
As Sancho prepares for Chelsea’s Europa Conference League clash against Gent, Ten Hag faces a pivotal week, with matches against Porto and Aston Villa that could define his future at Manchester United.
