'Small club mentality' - Man Utd fans slam Chelsea for 'petty' Jadon Sancho post after damaging defeat to Tottenham

As United were losing 3-0 to Tottenham on Sunday, Chelsea posted a cheeky tweet showing Cole Palmer and former Red Devils man Jadon Sancho. United fans have subsequently taken aim at the Blues, having read the tweet as a dig at the club. Sancho completed a loan move to Chelsea from United in the summer transfer window, and the Blues have an obligation to buy him outright at the end of the season.

United were well beaten by Spurs on the day, as Bruno Fernandes was sent off. By comparison, Chelsea beat Brighton 4-2 on Saturday thanks to an incredible four-goal haul from Cole Palmer, and currently sit six points ahead of United in the Premier League table.

Chelsea face Gent in the Europa Conference League on Thursday. On the same night, Manchester United face Porto in Portugal in the Europa League.
