Man Utd fans expose Jadon Sancho 'lie' during his first Chelsea interview

Manchester United fans have exposed Jadon Sancho's 'lie' during his first Chelsea interview.

Sancho joined Chelsea from Man United on deadline day.

He joins the Stamford Bridge outfit on an initial loan deal until the end of the season that includes an obligation to sign the player for a shock fee.

Sancho had been linked with a switch to Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus before completing his transfer to the Blues.

And the 24-year-old referenced Enzo Maresca as being key to the move.

"I think it’s the manager who really drew me to the project," he explained.

"I knew him from his time with Pep Guardiola in Manchester City. He spoke to me on the phone about this project and what he was building here, and for a young player like myself it’s exciting and I can’t wait to get started."

Sancho believes Maresca's style suits his own play, adding: "They’re signing me for a reason and to contribute to the team, and I’m ready to do that.

"I enjoy his style of play. The wingers when they get on the ball, he loves them to go one versus one and be direct. We play a lot of one-twos with the 10s and the striker combination plays.

"It’s very attractive and it’s a style that I play."

However, Man United fans have called out Sancho's claim about working under Maresca as the former Man City youth star left the Etihad in 2017 while Maresca joined the set-up in 2020, meaning they wouldn't have crossed paths.

Needless to say, fans online hit out at the star winger's lie.

One X user wrote: "Jadon Sancho is a true definition of shameless players."

A second tweeted: "I hope he knows how to work in training cause Maresca ain’t playing around."

A third said: "This pathetic lie sums up the kind of guy he is."

A fourth slammed: "What a liar," while another added: "Just shameless."

Sancho, who featured for Man United in their Community Shield defeat to Man City, has yet to play in the league this season.

But he could make his first appearance for Chelsea when they resume their campaign after the international break.
