‘Has he completed a pass yet?’ Fans slam Renato Sanches after Swansea debut

Renato Sanches' debut for Swansea was certainly memorable. Unfortunately for the Portugal international, that doesn’t mean it was good.

Making his first appearance for the Swans following a season-long loan move from Bayern Munich, there were hopes of the talented youngster immediately delivering on some of his promise for the Welsh side as they faced Newcastle on Sunday.

And Twitter was not kind to Sanches as his performance was roundly criticised and often mocked by fans.

You never get the second chance to make a first impression, but Sanches will hope to turn some of these doubters into believers next week when Swansea travel to Wembley to face Tottenham on Saturday.
