New Chelsea signing Jadon Sancho’s impressive start to his EPL career with the Blues left fans amazed. The 24-year-old former United star was named Man of the Match against Bournemouth, as he assisted the winning goal of the match. 

Jadon Sancho completed a deadline-day loan move to Chelsea, from Manchester United this summer. He had a tumultuous time at Old Trafford, after being frozen out by manager Erik ten Hag owing to a public fall-out between the two. After a loan spell at former club Borussia Dortmund, he rejoined the United dressing room. Despite reports of a settlement between the young forward and the manager, he remained out of the starting XI, before being given a way out by Chelsea.

Sancho, on his debut for the Blues, silenced critics by making an instant impact in a 1-0 win over Bournemouth. The forward assisted Christopher Nkunku in scoring a late winner, after coming on as a second-half substitute. He was named Man of the Match for his impressive display, completing 24 passes and four ball recoveries. This has raised concerns over how Sancho was treated at United, with Enzo Maresca even taking a subtle dig at the club for not showing love to the forward.

Sancho had a rather successful loan stint at Dortmund last season, as the club reached the UCL final. It remains to be seen what comes ahead for him, with fans backing him to shine under new Chelsea manager Maresca. 

Fans slam Manchester United’s ecosystem following club outcast Jadon Sancho’s match-winning debut for Chelsea

Fans shared their reactions on Sancho’s recent social media post celebrating his debut, with some of them expressing happiness for the forward for being at a ‘proper’ club now. A few other fans humorously stated the United would be in pain, after seeing him perform at his new club. Many others congratulated Sancho, and backed him to regain his previous form. 

The former Dortmund forward, since moving to Old Trafford, played 83 matches for the Red Devils. However, he failed to make his mark at the club, scoring just 12 goals and providing nine assists since 2021.
