Jadon Sancho has caused outrage with Man Utd fans after responding to an Instagram comment about his wage at the club.
Sancho joined United back in 2021 from Borussia Dortmund for a fee of around £75 million, but never really hit the ground running at Old Trafford despite huge expectations.
The Englishman eventually became surplus to requirements after a heated row with former manager Erik ten Hag after the winger was left out of a matchday squad against Arsenal.
Sancho was then forced out on loan back to Dortmund, where he recaptured some of the magic fans were used to seeing from the winger as he starred in a run to the 2024 Champions League final.

With Ten Hag still in charge on his return, Sancho was then shipped out to Chelsea where he scored three goals in 31 Premier League appearances.
Despite becoming a valued member of Enzo Maresca's squad and scoring in Chelsea's 4-1 Conference League final win, Sancho opted to return to Old Trafford rather than take a pay cut to stay in London.
Sancho's decision has not gone down well with United fans, and fuel was added to the fire when the England international responded to a hate comment on Instagram.
Under a video of Sancho flexing his fashion on @footballerfits, one fan commented 'mood after maintaining 300k a week,' which he responded to with: "European trophy. Have a good day bro."
Sancho's comment was quickly spotted by United fans, who have made their feelings very clear on social media.
One fan wrote: "Imagine yapping about a trophy you won with a team that paid NOT to keep you. Shameless."
Another added: "Nobody cares about a Conference League medal bro. Take a look at the bigger picture bro."
A third commented: "This guy doesn’t help himself at all. No reason to respond to that."
A fourth claimed: "This Sancho guy is actually shameless... Someone that a club paid money not to have yet he's got the guts to brag about Conference League trophy."
However, not all fans shared the same view with some thinking Sancho's response was fair game.
One posted: "To be fair, European trophy and a trip to the Champions League Final. We're 15th and need to be humble."
Another added: "He did score in a European final."
