Sancho’s “Freedom” Comment Sparks Debate After Rashford’s Villa Debut

A single word posted on social media by Jadon Sancho has ignited a fresh wave of controversy surrounding Manchester United, following Marcus Rashford’s debut for Aston Villa.

Rashford, who joined Villa on loan from United, made his first appearance for the club in their 2-1 FA Cup victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, coming off the bench in the second half.

This marked Rashford’s return to competitive football after a prolonged absence, his last appearance being a Europa League tie against Viktoria Plzen in December.

Rashford’s time at Manchester United had become increasingly fraught. Following the Viktoria Plzen game, then-manager Ruben Amorim dropped him for the Manchester derby and subsequently excluded him from the first team.

Amorim later cited disagreements over playing style and concerns about Rashford’s training attitude as reasons for the player’s exclusion.

Sancho, himself no stranger to controversy at Old Trafford, was quick to react to Rashford’s Villa debut.

He posted the single word “Freedom” on social media, accompanied by celebratory emojis, seemingly referencing Rashford’s escape from his Manchester United exile. Sancho’s own departure from United followed a similar pattern.

He was dropped from the squad by Erik ten Hag in September 2023, with the manager citing “performance in training” as the reason. Sancho publicly disputed these claims, stating he felt like a “scapegoat.”

His refusal to apologize to ten Hag led to his loan moves first to Borussia Dortmund, where he played in the Champions League final, and then to Chelsea in August, a move that reportedly includes an obligation for a permanent transfer.

Rashford’s loan to Aston Villa, while described as “short-term,” reportedly includes a £40 million option to buy.

Despite Rashford’s initial comments about his Birmingham stay, reports suggest a permanent move away from Old Trafford is “very unlikely,” citing a “near irreparable” relationship with the club.

Sancho’s loan to Chelsea, on the other hand, is expected to become permanent for around £25 million.
