Jadon Sancho's Subtle Dig at Manchester United Highlights Player Liberation
Jadon Sancho appeared to take a subtle dig at Manchester United as he commented “freedom” under Marcus Rashford’s Instagram post following his debut for Aston Villa on Sunday. Rashford, who joined Villa on loan on deadline day after being frozen out by Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, made his first appearance since early December in Villa’s 2-1 FA Cup win over Tottenham.
Sancho, who endured a similar situation at United last season before moving on loan to Borussia Dortmund, is now at Chelsea and seemed to express solidarity with Rashford. After Rashford posted images from his Villa debut with the caption “thank you for the warm welcome, great team performance,” Sancho replied with the word “freedom” accompanied by prayer and raised hands emojis.
Rashford, who was dropped by Ten Hag for the Manchester derby in December, revealed he was ready for a new challenge. Villa have an option to make his loan move permanent for £40 million this summer. Ten Hag explained Rashford’s departure by stating the forward could not adapt to his tactical demands, adding, “I just wish the best to Rashford and to Unai Emery, and they can connect because he’s a very good player.”
The exchange between Sancho and Rashford highlights the challenges both players faced at United, with Sancho’s comment suggesting a sense of liberation following their respective exits.
