Following their Chelsea debut, Manchester United supporters respond to Bruno Fernandes’ message to Jadon Sancho.
After Jadon Sancho made his Chelsea debut, club captain Bruno Fernandes sent him a supporting message, which Manchester United supporters have noticed.
Sancho’s Transfer to Chelsea on Loan
Sancho concluded a season-long loan from Manchester United to Chelsea on the last day of the transfer window. On Saturday night, he made his Blues debut when he came on in place of Pedro Neto early in the second half of Chelsea’s 1-0 victory over Bournemouth. Sancho had an instant effect as he set up the game-winning goal for Christopher Nkunku.
Sancho’s Social Media Post and Fernandes’ Comment
Following the match, Sancho took to social media to express his excitement. He posted, “Delighted to make my Chelsea debut, and to top it off with a win!” Among the many replies, one from United’s captain Bruno Fernandes caught attention. Fernandes commented: “Some player you, keep that smile.”
Fans’ Reactions to Fernandes’ Comment
While Fernandes’ message was meant to be encouraging, it didn’t sit well with some Manchester United fans. One fan responded: “Being the captain for Manchester United this doesn’t look right… no wonder we are struggling smh.” Another fan echoed the sentiment, saying, “What a disgrace for our club, and he is our captain. Strip him of captaincy and give it to someone else.” A third added, “This is wrong… Roy Keane would never do this.”
Sancho’s Post-Match Thoughts
After the game, Sancho shared his thoughts on making his Chelsea debut. He said, “First of all, it’s amazing to make my debut for Chelsea. Just being back playing, I’m very grateful. The team played very well, and we’re happy with the three points.” He also expressed his gratitude for the warm welcome from his new club, adding, “I’ve been working hard for this moment, and I’m just happy to have had my chance. I want to thank all the staff and my teammates. Since day one, they’ve made me feel comfortable, and I’m so happy to be here.”
Enzo Maresca’s Praise for Sancho
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca also spoke about Sancho’s role in the team. “I said when we signed Jadon that we were looking for another winger, similar to Noni [Madueke]. Noni gives us one-on-one situations, creates chances, and scores goals on the right side. We wanted the same kind of presence on the left with Jadon,” Maresca explained. “We have Mischa [Mudryk] and Pedro playing there, but having both gives us great options.”
Sancho’s successful debut for Chelsea and Fernandes’ support have sparked debate, but it’s clear that Chelsea see the winger as a key part of their attacking options for the season ahead.
