“He cooked us” – Man United fans send clear message to Erik ten Hag after Jadon Sancho’s debut for Chelsea
Jadon Sancho’s Impactful Chelsea Debut in 1-0 Victory Over Bournemouth
A New Beginning at Chelsea
Jadon Sancho made his first appearance for Chelsea on Saturday, helping them secure a narrow 1-0 win against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. Sancho joined Chelsea on a season-long loan from Manchester United during the summer transfer window, with a permanent transfer set for next summer in a deal worth between £20-25 million.
A Tough Spell at Manchester United
Sancho’s three-year stint at Manchester United was far from smooth. The English winger, who arrived with a hefty £73 million price tag, struggled to live up to the high expectations. His departure came amid tensions, leaving behind a strained relationship with both the club and its supporters.
United Fans React to Sancho’s Chelsea Debut
Making his debut for the Blues, Sancho entered the game at halftime and immediately left his mark. One of the standout moments came when he provided a crucial assist to fellow substitute Christopher Nkunku, who netted the winning goal in the 86th minute. Fans of Manchester United quickly took to social media, expressing mixed emotions about their former player’s performance.
One fan shared on X (formerly Twitter): “I never saw this Sancho ONCE at United???”, while another remarked, “Damn Sancho hate watch ain’t going good so far, mf is cooking.”
Questions Arise Over United’s Decision to Let Sancho Go
Many United fans questioned the club’s decision to let such a talented player leave, with one comment reading: “Sancho is a brilliant footballer, you can’t tell me otherwise. The fact that we let such a talent go is absolutely scandalous.”
Chelsea Fans Praise Their New Star
Chelsea supporters were quick to join in, showering Sancho with praise for his impressive debut. One fan said, “Jadon Sancho has easily been our best player since he came on.” Another cheekily referenced United’s struggles with Sancho, saying, “Delete your Jason Sancho hate tweets. We don’t do 007 over here ”
Sancho’s Game-Changing Performance
Sancho replaced fellow newcomer Pedro Neto at halftime and immediately made an impact, particularly on the left wing. His shining moment came late in the game when he set up Nkunku, who had only been on the field for seven minutes. Nkunku skillfully navigated past several Bournemouth defenders before sealing the victory for Chelsea with a well-placed goal.
