Jadon Sancho has excelled his former Manchester United teammates since joining Chelsea. After a poor stint at Old Trafford, the 24-year-old winger decided to end it during the summer transfer window. Sancho’s career was on the verge of turning around when the Blues and Red Devils worked out a season-long loan agreement. However, Sancho will need to be purchased outright for £25 million at the end of the season. And Sancho has begun just how Todd Boehly would have anticipated, befitting the confidence the London giants have placed in him.
In his first three Premier League games, the former Manchester City youth product has tallied three assists, one of which was for Cole Palmer during Saturday’s home match against Brighton. Sancho’s early efforts have seen him record more assists than seven Manchester United players combined, which has only served to sweeten the summer transfer package for Boehly.
Jadon Sancho shows true Chelsea colours moments
Jadon Sancho looks to be enjoying his stay at Chelsea, as seen by his team’s victory over Brighton on Saturday and their subsequent defeat by Tottenham Hotspur the following day, which befell parent club Manchester United. Brennan Johnson’s first-half goal set the tone for United’s miserable performance against Spurs at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Bruno Fernandes’ red card made things even more difficult, and Dejan Kulusevski’s score just after halftime made things even worse. Spurs won handily thanks to a late goal from Dominic Solanke. Retweeting a tweet from Chelsea’s official account, he did so just after the final whistle at Old Trafford.
