To Jadon Sancho, of all people, it should not be necessary to remember how many problems a social media comment can cause.
After all, they were the poorly advised criticism from Sancho to Erik Ten Hag on Instagram in September 2023, which led to the end of his career at Manchester United, and now his response to an innocent message from Marcus Rashford has put him in the shot line again.
After Rashford thanked Aston Villa's fans after the victory of the Sunday Cup FA over Tottenham for his support in his loan debut of Old Trafford, Sancho published an answer from a word to his former teammate of United and England: Freedom.
The supporters of United quickly rushed to the suggestion that the two players were imprisoned in some way in Old Trafford, and close sources to Rashford have indicated that they do not appreciate being dragged into the apparent beef of their former United teammate in United and England with the club.
If Sancho was looking for a friend to join him on the team of a bomb -bomb, he will have to go to another place.
Freedom of what one might ask. Free to represent one of the largest teams in the world? Free to play in front of 75,000 fans? Free to leave a club that is still paying you a small fortune to play for another person?
Jadon Sancho fell with Erik Ten Hag before his acrimonious output of Manchester United
Marcus Rashford published a message to Aston Villa fans after his debut and Sancho responded with a word: 'Libertad'
Sancho, borrowed in Chelsea, is very aware of the problem that a social media comment can cause
Chelsea could be covering most of the salary of £ 250,000 to Sancho's week during his loan spell in Stamford Bridge, but United is still collecting around 50,000 of the tab.
Since he joined Chelsea at the end of August and the agreement extends until June 30, that works at the end of £ 2 million.
Until then, Sancho is still technically a united player under contract in Old Trafford, although he left the WhatsApp chat of the players some time ago.
There was never any possibility to return to the club when he clarified his locker in Carrington last summer and left for the last time after the previous season borrowed in his former team Borussia Dortmund.
United bought it at the German club for £ 73 million in the summer of 2021, but the last kick of an enormously disappointing old trafford was a failed attempt in the shooting, since the ten -hag team lost the community shield against Manchester City For penalties in August.
He arrived a year after his previous appearance for United after a public consequence with ten hag caused by Sancho with effectively qualifying his manager as a liar on social networks for his reasons to drop to the extreme against Arsenal.
Sancho refused to apologize and was forced to train and eat only before escaping Dortmund.
A brief and fragile approach in the summer with ten Hag made United made it easier to reach an agreement with Chelsea to take the 24-year loan for the rest of the season with the obligation to buy it for between £ 20-25 million.
Sancho has not burned the world in Chelsea, even if its form has improved slightly
The sources have said that Rashford is not happy to be dragged to Sancho's problems with the club.
Rashford's situation in United is different from Sancho's, since he wants to remain in good terms with his childhood club
A two -goal record and six assists in 21 games in Stamford Bridge is possibly a slight improvement in the 12 goals and six assists that he achieved in 83 games for United, but the world has not set fire.
Although Ten Hag was fired almost four months ago, it seems that Sancho still achieves resentment against his parents club to judge by his message to Rashford on Sunday night.
It should be noted that the two players share the same public relations agency, which also represents Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane and Mason Mount.
Ronaldo forced his departure from Old Trafford with an explosive television interview with Piers Morgan in November 2022, and Sancho turned on the fuse with his Instagram incendiary position 10 months later.
Given Varane's restlessness with Ten Hag too, United could have been forgiven for feeling nervous when Rashford signed with the same agency a year ago.
It was not a big surprise for the club when the 27 -year -old gave an interview in December that rushed his departure, saying that he was “ready for a new challenge and the next steps” in his career.
However, Rashford's situation is different from Sancho's. United is his childhood team and wants to remain in good terms with the club and his followers. There is credit in the bank.
Rashford could still return to United since Villa has an option, instead of the obligation, to buy it
The Man United Chief, Ruben Amorim, described the concerns with the training and approach of Rashford
While his departure feels definitive, he is not out of the issue that Rashford could return if he rediscovers his best way in villa that pays around £ 240,000 of his salaries of £ 315,000 per week and has an option instead of an obligation to buy He for £ 40 million.
But for Sancho talk about 'Libertad' for billionaire soccer players feel particularly deaf.
When Alexis Sánchez pointed out his return from Chile to Carrington after the dismissal of José Mourinho in December 2018 with an Instagram video established in the melody of Gladiator's theme now that we are free, he was sending a message to a man. Sancho has chosen to have an excavation in the club.
If he had not burned his bridges in United, he has now done so.
