Jadon Sancho, currently on loan at Chelsea from Manchester United, has shown his support for his former teammates following United’s impressive 4-0 win over Everton on Sunday. Despite his departure from Old Trafford under contentious circumstances, the England international celebrated the victory, liking social media posts from Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes, both of whom played key roles in the dominant performance. Sancho’s actions highlight his continued connection with the club and his former teammates, even after his summer move to Chelsea.
Sancho’s gesture was part of a day full of celebrations for both clubs. While Manchester United extended their unbeaten run to seven games, Sancho was busy helping Chelsea secure a 3-0 win over Aston Villa. In the match at Stamford Bridge, Sancho was instrumental, providing assists and showing the kind of form that has made him a key player for the Blues. He was substituted in the second half, but his influence was clear.
Chelsea’s head coach Enzo Maresca praised Sancho for his contributions, describing him as “very important” to the team. Maresca emphasized that Sancho’s fitness, both physically and mentally, is crucial for the team’s success, particularly when facing teams that defend with a low block. His vision, passing, and ability to shoot make him an invaluable asset in Chelsea’s attacking setup.
Sancho’s strong start at Chelsea, where he has registered five assists in eight games, marks a sharp contrast to his turbulent time at United. While his departure from Manchester was marked by uncertainty, his current form at Chelsea has highlighted his potential and reaffirmed his value as a creative force in the final third.
Despite his own success at Chelsea, Sancho’s show of support for United, especially in such a significant win, underscores a sense of camaraderie and respect for his former teammates.
