Scoring against Southampton, the same against Tottenham. This is in addition to five assists. Jadon Sancho is being called “the big steal” from Manchester United, Enzo Maresca explains how easy it has been to get the outcast Man United player to play to his £73 million potential.

According to Goal , Chelsea negotiated a lease with an obligation to buy between £20 million and £25 million. For Manchester United, this was a way out on Deadline Day, with Ten Hag releasing Sancho, while securing some of the £73 million the club invested in the player in 2021. United legend Andy Cole calls Chelsea’s Sancho deal the big steal. Enzo Maresco tells how Sancho “has been set free” on the pitch.

-Off the ball, the way we work, Pedro and Noni on one side and Jadon and Misha on the other. They have to run when we don’t have the ball. It’s not more difficult than that. You can’t just play football when we have the ball, you have to play football when we don’t have the ball. We demand sacrifice and hard work,” the Chelsea manager told the club’s website.

Clear plan of attack. Just as much work without, as with the ball. Sacrifice themselves on the field. Never slow down.

Jadon Sancho has understood Maresca’s job description, this in a matter of months. Then there will be results.
