Jadon Sancho shows us his true colours yet again.
The current United loanee at Chelsea commented on friend Marcus Rashford's Instagram post after his debut for Aston Villa in their FA Cup win over Spurs. Rashford is also a player on loan.
But this is the exact reason as to why Sancho was let go off in the first place.
That lack of professionalism and display of low IQ is one of the reasons as to why it isn't actually going too well for him in London even though people make it out to be that he is Eden Hazard reborn.
The attitude and character of both Sancho and Rashford is why they no longer ply their trade (at least for now) at Old Trafford.
This comment by the Chelsea no 25 is one that suggests that both players were being held back at United, that they were sort of caged at Old Trafford and weren't given a fair crack at it.
The contrary to this is true. Both MR10 and JS25 have been poor at United for so long we can't even remember the last time they were any good.
Rashford has been dire for pretty much 18 months whilst Sancho has never actually showed the form he did at Dortmund at United in his 3 years at the club.
That poor attitude is why they failed at United and why they no longer represent our club. They do now have the opportunity to try and get their careers back on track but it really all depends on them. Ruben Amorim said when he first came in at United that Rashford has to show 'how much he wants it' in terms of that determination to get back to his best and perform well enough for the manager to select him.
The same applies to Sancho.
For him to be drawing more attention to himself because of stupid social media comments rather than his football, then there is something wrong with him.
Perhaps if he focused this much on his football we all wouldn't be in this situation.
I don't actually know why Sancho seems to have such a dislike towards United and the fans. His main beef seemed to be with ten Hag but more than anything, he needed to look at himself.
He never gave a true goodbye or thanks to the club and fans upon being loaned to Chelsea yet has posted several times whilst at the Blues, something he hasn't done at United since that first campaign.
The fans and the club were all really excited when we thought we were getting him in 20/21. It looked for all the money in the world that he would join the club as all the reports suggested it was a done deal.
There was real disappointment when he didn't join though, considering the quality of player he was at Dortmund.
When he did finally come to us in the next season, that excitement returned and when you added the likes of Rapha Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo to that transfer window, it seemed like it was worth the extra year wait.
That first campaign however, didn't go according to plan. For anyone.
I will give some leeway to Sancho for this season because it was truly awful. To come into such an environment as a young player is never going to be easy.
Fast forward to season two, Erik ten Hag's first year, and we all thought that he was going to start displaying the form he did in Germany.
Unfortunately though, that never came to pass.
Ever.
Season 22/23 saw Sancho's form remain average to poor for almost the entirety of it despite scoring crucial goals against the likes of Leicester and Liverpool in what turned out to be ten Hag's first official win as United boss.
Sancho then had that period of absence that lasted about three months due to reasons that we still don't know today. The club, coaches and fans all backed him as it clearly didn't have anything to do with football.
Upon his return, we saw a lot of smiles between him and the manager and for a little while thereafter, he did show signs of improvement.
Not long after that though, things started to go downhill once again.
Going back to last season, Sancho's 3rd at United, he found himself out the team again after the manager said it was due to the player's poor performances in training that resulted in him not being a part of the matchday squad in the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal at the start of 23/24.
Sancho hit back on social media saying that he was made a 'scapegoat' and that he thought his performances in training were fine.
He was then out of the team and we never really saw him since the start of this campaign when we played City in the Community Shield.
I actually even forgot about him going back to Dortmund in which he 'lit it up' again 🙄.
Sancho ended up leaving United in the summer transfer window and joined boyhood club Chelsea on loan.
Now at the Blues, when looking at the comments of some of his performances you would think that prime Hazard had made a comeback.
The 24-year-old has had a couple of decent performances but nothing amazing nor sustainable. He's also only scored 2 goals this season, the same as Maguire and Martinez.
Again, this is all down to the player and his attitude. He's had ample chances at Chelsea too yet has not really lit it up.
So this sort of knobbish comment by Sancho did backfire as I believe he wanted a lot of people to be on his side but more than anything, it has angered the United fan base, who were always backed Sancho until we realized his attitude stinks.
This poor attitude is the reason as to why he's failing in his career at the moment.
Chelsea, we did warn you.
We did warn you.
