“Greenwood and Pogba Break Silence on Jadon Sancho’s Chelsea Performances – A Message for the Star”
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Jadon Sancho’s time at Chelsea has gotten off to a flying start, quickly catching the attention of his former Manchester United teammates, Paul Pogba and Mason Greenwood.
Financial Hit for Manchester United
United is expected to face a significant financial blow when Sancho’s loan deal becomes permanent next summer for £25 million. After three frustrating seasons at Old Trafford, United’s management finally allowed him to depart on transfer deadline day, a move that might prove costly. Since joining Chelsea, Sancho has looked sharp, and his early performances could leave Manchester United regretting their decision.
He made an instant impact by coming off the bench to assist Christopher Nkunku’s winning goal against Bournemouth, followed by a crucial role in setting up Nicolas Jackson’s opener during Chelsea’s victory over West Ham in the early kick-off last Saturday.
Pogba and Greenwood Celebrate Sancho’s Success
Despite their United connections, both Pogba and Greenwood were quick to celebrate Sancho’s newfound form at Chelsea. After Chelsea’s 3-0 triumph over West Ham, Sancho took to Instagram to praise the team’s efforts, writing, “Solid performance from the boys, have a great weekend blues!” Greenwood was one of the first to show his support, leaving a clapping emoji in the comments. Pogba, though brief, also showed his appreciation, simply commenting: “Him.”
Greenwood Flourishes at Marseille
While Sancho is thriving in London, Greenwood is enjoying a fantastic start to his own post-United journey. Now at Marseille, the 22-year-old has already scored five goals in his first four matches, drawing the attention of clubs like Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and Bayern Munich. United, however, could still benefit financially from any future transfer as they retained a 50% sell-on clause when Greenwood moved to Marseille.
Pogba’s Struggles After United Exit
In contrast to Greenwood, Pogba’s career post-United has been far from smooth. After rejoining Juventus in 2022, the Frenchman has been plagued by injuries and was recently hit with a four-year doping ban. His situation is a sharp reminder of how different players’ paths can be after leaving the same club.
Chelsea Manager Backs Sancho
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has been highly supportive of Sancho since his arrival, recognizing the need to nurture the winger. “I’m very happy for him,” Maresca said after the Bournemouth match. “He played very well. I always believed Jadon needed that extra bit of love, and I’m glad to see it’s paying off. I’ve watched him closely over the years, and I know exactly what he brings to our team.”
Sancho, with the backing of his manager and his former teammates cheering him on, looks set to rediscover his best form at Stamford Bridge.
