What Jadon Sancho did when directly asked if he will return to Man Utd by a fan speaks volumes

Jadon Sancho's reaction when asked if he is returning to Manchester United has emerged online.

Sancho returned to United in the summer after a loan spell back at Borussia Dortmund and looked to have patched things up with Erik ten Hag after a major bust-up.

He was with the Red Devils for pre-season and even featured in the Community Shield, missing a penalty against Manchester City at Wembley.

Despite Ten Hag saying he was "happy" with Sancho, on transfer deadline day the winger signed for Chelsea on loan with an obligation to buy.

Sancho was named Man of the Match on his Chelsea debut against Bournemouth and has three assists in five games, though he has found himself out of the side lately due to tactical reasons and injury issues.

After the 1-1 draw with Arsenal with Chelsea on Sunday, Sancho was leaving Stamford Bridge when a supporter asked him if he would be heading back to Old Trafford now that Ten Hag is no longer manager.

He asked, "Ten Hag's gone, you coming back to United?". Sancho did not offer a response and instead continued walking with the help of the bodyguard, though another supporter interjected and stated that he is "Chelsea for life".

Sancho's move to Chelsea is an initial loan but it's claimed the Blues have to pay between £20 million and £25 million to buy him outright in the event they finish in the top 14 this season.

That looks almost certain to happen under Enzo Maresca, who is well aware of Sancho's qualities but feels he is a personality who "needs love" for him to play at his very best.

"I have the feeling that Jadon is a guy that needs to feel love," Maresca said back in September.

"This is what I thought when I spoke with him before he joined us. Also he has the desire to show the player he is.

“But for me, he has to just enjoy football. It’s the reason why they play, they’re happy and they want to enjoy football.

"Then, because they’re good, they’re going to do good things.”
