'I have a lot of people to prove wrong' - Jadon Sancho aims veiled dig at parent club Man Utd after starring in fiery Chelsea victory over Tottenham

Sancho is currently on a season-long loan at Stamford Bridge from United after his rather public showdown with former Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag last season, which saw the winger banned from the first-team. While the 24-year-old was told that he was welcome back into the squad by Ten Hag, Sancho preferred to leave United and departed for Enzo Maresca's side on deadline day on a loan deal with an obligation to buy.

Sancho has been playing well at Chelsea under Maresca and is starting to show a return to the kind of form that he had demonstrated at Borussia Dortmund. The Englishman scored the Blues' first goal in their comeback against Tottenham Hotspur in a 4-3 win away from home on Sunday. He has now fired shots at his doubters in a veiled dig at his doubters from his time at United.

Speaking to the Premier League media team, Sancho said: "From the very first day, [Chelsea] made me feel welcome. I know I have a lot of people to prove wrong, and I’m just working hard every day in training. When I get my opportunity, I try to show what I can do. Today, I am happy that I scored and helped secure three points for the team.

"Again, I’m just taking it game by game, and hopefully, I can continue this form. I have to say thank you to the whole Chelsea team and the staff for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to play."

The winger has had a few issues at Chelsea as well but those have not seemed to affect his working relationship with Maresca. He is unlikely to start or even travel when Chelsea travel 3,500 miles to take on Kazakhstan-based side Astana on Thursday.
