Chelsea winger Jadon Sancho was showing all that he is capable of offering once again.

The youngster put in another brilliant performance for the Blues, as he tries to emulate the form he was in at Borussia Dortmund.

As the Blues beat Brighton, Sancho was the unsung hero. He earned his side a penalty and provided them with an assist as the London club ran out 4-2 winners.

But this has rattled some Manchester United fans, who took to social media to vent their fury with Erik ten Hag. Sancho and the Dutchman fell out a year ago, with Ten Hag publically slamming the player to the media for his conduct in training.

“On his performance in training, we didn't select him. You have to reach the level every day at Manchester United.” Sancho snapped back later that evening on social media, saying that was “completely untrue.”

But some fans believe that, in hindsight, they were too hasty.

What did Man Utd fans say?

Fabrizio Romano reported that Chelsea landed the winger for €30 million, a big departure from the Manchester side's previous valuation of €40m-€50m.

Initially, talks between Chelsea and Man Utd had centred on a swap deal with Raheem Sterling. The winger has been told by coach Enzo Maresca that he has no future at the club and would have been open to moving back to Manchester. But the former England international left for Arsenal.

Sancho appears to be back to his best standard, only this time for Chelsea.
