Manchester City fans were not too pleased with Jadon Sancho’s announcement video on social media as he finished his move to rivals Manchester United.
He spent two years at Manchester City’s academy before moving abroad to Borussia Dortmund after being disappointed by his lack of opportunities under Pep Guardiola.
And United made a tongue-in-cheek citation to Sancho’s time at City naming his arrival as his ‘homecoming.’
City fans were quick to spot the connection and took to social media to respond.
@JoeGreen1992 : So I see Watford-born Chelsea fan, formerly of Manchester City’s academy, Jadon Sancho has found his way ‘home’. #orite

@THFCRes : So.. Jadon Sancho Is from South London, Supports Chelsea, Played For Man City, Said Manchester was blue, Has now signed for Manchester United and has the audacity to say “This is my club, This is where I belong”
@DarrenCarson2 : If the ‘dig’ comes with a nice cheque for £11 million then thank you very much

@H_Subhanee : Loool we all know he’s been forced to say that
Sancho will join up with his United teammates once he returns from his break after competing at Euro 2020.
He will likely face his old club in the Manchester Derby on 6th November at Old Trafford in the Premier League.
