Jadon Sancho, the star winger who recently moved to Chelsea, has seemingly taken a final swipe at former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag in a recent interview. This comes after a turbulent spell with Man United where he fell out with Ten Hag.
Sancho joined Chelsea last summer, marking an end to his rocky tenure with Manchester United. During his time there, he failed to replicate the success he had achieved while playing for Borussia Dortmund. His relationship with Ten Hag deteriorated significantly leading to him being banished from the first team.
The 24-year-old returned to Man United following a loan spell at Dortmund but soon secured his move away from Old Trafford after signing an initial season-long deal with Chelsea. The Blues have an obligation to make this transfer permanent.
Fresh start and promising performance
Since joining Chelsea, Sancho has made 10 appearances across all competitions and scored two goals. One of these was a well-executed strike that contributed significantly towards his side's come-from-behind victory against Spurs last weekend.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Sancho opened up about his new life at Stamford Bridge and how he is faring under the guidance of Enzo Maresca.
Jadon Sancho, Chelsea player, said:
"The players that we have in the squad are top quality so every day in training we’re pushing each other, every time we get an opportunity we want to show what we can do and I feel like the team has created a nice bond within the dressing room. I think having all of those combined shows in the performances on the pitch."
"Everyone is similar in age and most of the boys have been playing for quite a while and have a lot of experience. It’s nice to be in and around the group and the training is fun. Everyone’s got a smile on their face and everyone’s pushing each other to do extras and that’s what we need."
Enjoying training sessions at Stamford Bridge
Sancho revealed that he is enjoying training sessions under Maresca's leadership and feels motivated by the competitive spirit within the squad. He stated that everyone on the team is pushing each other towards better performance levels - which can be interpreted as a subtle dig at Ten Hag who had previously complained about Sancho's training levels during their time together in Manchester United.
This statement not only ends their feud but also highlights how much more comfortable and productive Sancho feels in his new environment compared to Old Trafford.
Jadon Sancho's move to Chelsea seems to be a breath of fresh air for the young winger. His recent performances and positive comments about his new club indicate that he is settling in well and enjoying his football once again. As he continues to adapt to life at Stamford Bridge, fans will be eagerly watching his progress and hoping for more stellar performances from the talented player.
