"Good riddance", "Signed United's best winger" - Fans react as Jadon Sancho reportedly set to join Chelsea from Manchester United

Manchester United and Chelsea fans have taken to social media to react to the news that Jadon Sancho has reportedly joined Chelsea on a loan with an obligation to buy. The winger failed to impress during his time with the Red Devils, bagging a paltry 12 goals and six assists in 83 games since he joined from Borussia Dortmund for a reported £73 million in 2021.

The 24-year-old is now set to end his time at Old Trafford and rekindle his career in west London with the UEFA Conference League contenders.

Following the news going public, fans took to X to share their opinion on the transfer, with one fan posting:

"Good riddance."

Another fan hailed the potential signing, posting:

"OMG let’s go!!"

A Chelsea fan triumphantly declared in his post that:

"Hahaha we signed United best winger."

Another fan welcomed the winger, posting:

"Welcome to the dream land."

The final post jokingly congratulated the Blues on securing the winger after trying to sign him in 2020, saying:

"Chelsea’s dream in 2020 is finally coming true."

The 23-time England international will hope he can have a better time in west London than he did in Manchester. Jadon Sancho leaves the club with a League Cup winner's medal to his name after his time at the club.

Manchester United boss expected to keep Chelsea target Jadon Sancho

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag expected to keep Chelsea target Jadon Sancho at the club to provide depth in the squad. The pair had a rocky relationship at the club and fell out due to a clash of personalities that saw the winger sent out on loan earlier this year to Borussia Dortmund.

Speaking about the English winger's future via GOAL, the Dutch manager said:

“As far as I know, I expect him to stay, yeah. We are happy with him. We need a good squad. We have to play many games until January. After the break we play every third day so we need options."

Manchester United will be pleased to move on from Jadon Sancho following his disappointing time with the club. The winger never looked his best for the Red Devils and will be keen to revitalize his career in west London.
