Samuel Luckhurst fires ‘freedom’ shot at Jadon Sancho after poor display vs Brighton
Manchester United will breathe a sigh of relief after offloading winger Jadon Sancho last summer.
United sent Sancho to Chelsea on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy.
The Red Devils stand to pocket an initial £20 million, contingent on Chelsea finishing above 15th in the Premier League.
Sancho stirred controversy with a pointed “Freedom” comment on Marcus Rashford’s Instagram post earlier this week.
His antics drew anger from the club supporters.
The Blues suffered a humbling 3-0 Premier League defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on Friday evening.
Sancho was called into action in the 21st minute, replacing the injured Noni Madueke.

The 24-year-old failed to inspire Chelsea’s deflated attack and looked shaky in defence.
Journalist Samuel Luckhurst took a sarcastic aim at the England international due to his inability to track Yankuba Minteh for Brighton’s third goal.
He wrote at X: “Sancho was enjoying plenty of ‘freedom’ there as he let Mintah run away from him.”
Sancho managed to complete just 50% of his dribbles and lost possession a staggering 14 times.
He failed to deliver a single cross during his 69-minute performance, adding to his frustrating display.
United fans are sure to take satisfaction in seeing Sancho falter, especially after his recent comments against the club that spent £73 million to bring him in from Borussia Dortmund in 2021.
The Red Devils made him one of the highest earners at the club.
When his form dipped, former head coach Erik ten Hag gave him a mid-season break to recharge.
Sancho may continue taking jabs at United, but he would be wise to focus on improving his performances.
Once hailed as a generational talent, his decline serves as a cautionary tale for future stars to stay grounded.
