Jadon Sancho has once again found himself at the centre of controversy, this time for a social media comment that has left Manchester United fans fuming.
The 24-year-old winger, currently on loan at Chelsea, commented “Freedom” on Marcus Rashford’s Instagram post following Rashford’s loan move to Aston Villa—a remark that many United supporters have taken as a dig at their club.
The backlash was swift and fierce, with fans slamming Sancho for his perceived lack of professionalism and poor attitude during his time at Old Trafford.
AliceTalksFooty criticized Sancho’s work ethic compared to his teammate Amad Diallo: “Sancho and Amad were both frustrated that Antony was getting minutes ahead of them under Ten Hag. Amad stayed quiet, worked hard, and made an impact whenever given a chance. In contrast, Sancho refused to play for the club for four months, fell out with the manager despite being fully supported the previous season when given time off—and never seized his opportunities. His performances at Chelsea haven’t been impressive either. Amad, on the other hand, took his chances and proved his worth. One of them is balling out for us, while the other is sitting on social media taking digs while still contracted to Man Utd.”
UtdFaithfuls didn’t hold back either, branding Sancho as “EMBARRASSING and UNPROFESSIONAL.” They added, “Genuinely one of the WORST footballers to ever play for us. Has the worst mentality and attitude I’ve ever seen.”
Even well-known United supporter Mark Goldbridge weighed in on the controversy: “United paid Sancho 300k a week, supported him for four months while he had a break from football in the middle of the season. He’s been bang average at best for years. And he’s messaging Rashford about ‘Freedom’ lol. Read the room. Most people actually work for a living.”
Adding to the chorus of criticism, TheEuropeanLad slammed Sancho’s attitude: “Sancho, another footballer you can add among the list of low-IQ players with zero professionalism and zero mentality. Just another overpaid spoiled brat who thinks he’s cooking with a comment like this towards a club he should be on his knees to for having been allowed to wear their shirt.”
As Sancho continues his loan spell at Chelsea, the controversy surrounding his comments raises further questions about his long-term future at Manchester United.
