Jadon Sancho takes subtle jab at Man United in comment on Marcus Rashford's Instagram post

Rashford recently made his debut for Aston Villa.
Chelsea star Jadon Sancho has taken a jibe at Manchester United with his recent comment âfreedomâ on Marcus Rashfordâs photo on Instagram after he posted in Astonâs Villa shirt.
The 27-year-old came off the bench in Sundayâs 2-1 FA Cup victory over Tottenham, marking his debut for Villa since joining the team on loan from Manchester United on the penultimate day of the winter transfer window.
Due to his poor training performances, Rashford had been neglected by United manager Ruben Amorim and had not played in a competitive match for more than two months.
After having an argument with Erik ten Hag over the Dutchmanâs comments regarding the wingerâs lack of efforts during the training, Sancho, who is currently on loan at Chelsea from United, experienced a similar situation at Old Trafford.
After refusing to apologize to Ten Hag, the former Manchester City winger was transferred on loan to Dortmund last season. Sancho accused Ten Hag of using him as a âscapegoatâ for the teamâs subpar performance.
Additionally, Sancho made a telling remark on Rashfordâs social media post after his debut at Villa Park, demonstrating that he hasnât forgotten his problems at the Theatre of Dreams.
Using the emojis for âprayerâ and âraised hands,â Sancho wrote: âFreedom.â
He is certainly firing shots at United. Commenting freedom on Rashfordâs post is an indication that Sanchoâs relationship with the club and fans is still sour even after he left for the Blues.
Fans of United, who were already dissatisfied with Sanchoâs performances after he joined the team in 2021 for ÂŁ72 million, are unlikely to take the remark well. Sancho made 87 appearances for the team and scored just 12 goals.
Meanwhile, Rashford who is on loan to Aston Villa will hope to make the most of his time there. It will be interesting to see if United will be keen to retain him or get rid of him in the summer window.
