Jadon Sancho labelled 'embarrassing' & 'unprofessional' by Man Utd fans as Chelsea winger sends pointed message to fellow loanee Marcus Rashford following his Aston Villa debut

<p>The two England international wingers remain contracted to the Red Devils, but both find themselves playing elsewhere in the 2024-25 campaign. Sancho was frozen out on Old Trafford under Erik ten Hag, leading to him returning to Borussia Dortmund on loan before <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-jadon-sancho-move-chelsea-could-be-best-deal-ever-man-utd-warned-huge-mistake/blt8fc150b03ea12687" target="_blank">linking up with Chelsea last summer</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He has seen Rashford endure similar struggles in Manchester, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/answer-marcus-rashford-told-where-should-go-leaves-man-utd-sir-alex-ferguson-trusted-assistants-three-things-ruben-amorim-wants/blte44ccab2b51a731c" target="_blank">Ruben Amorim dropping the 27-year-old forward from his plans</a>. A switch to Aston Villa that includes a permanent purchase option was completed during the winter transfer window.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Rashford made his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-outcast-marcus-rashford-grateful-message-ending-forced-exile-making-aston-villa-debut/blt98d07994694c3497" target="_blank">debut for Villa off the bench in their FA Cup fourth-round win over Tottenham</a>. Sancho responded to a series of images posted on social media with a one-word “freedom” reply – which is considered to be a nod towards both escaping their exile at United.</p><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt718882c56e9bd698/sancho%20rash.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt718882c56e9bd698/sancho%20rash.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt718882c56e9bd698/sancho%20rash.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Jadon Sancho Marcus Rashford freedom" data-source="Instagram" data-copyright="Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:blt718882c56e9bd698;width:1091;height:667"></picture>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Unsurprisingly, Sancho’s quip has not gone down well with Red Devils fans. <a href="https://x.com/UtdFaithfuls/status/1888842875602891058" target="_blank">@UtdFaithfuls</a> said: “This is so EMBARRASSING and UNPROFESSIONAL from Sancho. Genuinely one of the WORST footballers to ever play for us. Has the worst mentality and attitude I've ever seen.”</p><p><a href="https://x.com/KshitijAMalve/status/1888850576693445110" target="_blank">@KshitijAMalve</a> added: “I saw people calling Antony the worst transfer but let's be real, the lad has been nothing but respectful. Whether things work out with him or not, I have no ill feeling to him. Sancho has to be the most unprofessional footballer to ever don our jersey. Tevez was another, but he at least had the talent to back him up.”</p>

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>Others to take aim at Sancho include <a href="https://x.com/wendy_utd/status/1888846188977283493" target="_blank">@wendy_utd</a>, who said: “Chelsea will soon send him off to Derby County, he's already washed.”</p><p><a href="https://x.com/forouryoung/status/1888844495053021306" target="_blank">@forouryoung</a> added “and that’s the very reason he will never play for United again”, while <a href="https://x.com/ArnoModd/status/1888848964151075095" target="_blank">@ArnoModd</a> branded the pair “spoilt brats”.</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>Sancho’s contract at United is due to run until 2026, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jadon-sancho-home-man-utd-road-to-redemption-chelsea-old-trafford-circus/blt96c62e801b4ac88f" target="_blank">Chelsea have an option to keep him at Stamford Bridge</a> beyond the end of the current campaign. He has, however, started just 13 Premier League games for the Blues, with two goals and six assists recorded through 19 appearances in all competitions.</p>
