Mark Goldbridge Goes Nuclear on Jadon Sancho Over Chelsea Rumors
Manchester United fans have been left stunned after a passionate rant from Mark Goldbridge, The United Stand’s editor, went viral on Transfer Deadline Day. The former professional footballer and presenter let rip at Jadon Sancho, who has been linked with a move to Chelsea, citing a string of perceived slights against the club.
According to Sky Sports, Chelsea are closing in on a deal to sign Sancho from Manchester United, with the winger reportedly favoring a move to Stamford Bridge over Juventus. The 24-year-old has been omitted from United’s Premier League squads for the opening two fixtures, sparking speculation over his future at the club.
Goldbridge’s rant, which was live-streamed on his social media channel, left fans in stitches. "You’re not playing for Chelsea, you’re not playing for Chelsea, you’re not playing for Chelsea!" he screamed, as he laid into Sancho. "You want to go play in London, you’re not playing for Chelsea, you’re not Chelsea, you’re not playing for Chelsea!"
The United Stand’s editor blasted Sancho for his behavior on social media, claiming the winger has been "changing his Instagram profile picture to Chelsea" and "coming back home" after a string of disappointing performances. "Why? Well if you wanted a big move, maybe you should have behaved better," Goldbridge said. "We are not sending you to Chelsea so you can change your Instagram to Chelsea and how you’ve come home."
Despite Goldbridge’s fiery outburst, United boss Erik ten Hag has revealed he expects Sancho to still be at the club after the deadline. The Dutchman has spoken publicly about his desire to see Sancho stay and prove himself, offering words of encouragement to the winger. "We spoke well. Everyone can make a mistake. We draw a line and move on," Ten Hag said. "This club needs good players and one thing is certain: Jadon is a very good player. I hope it will click and [he can] contribute to our success."
With Sancho’s future still shrouded in uncertainty, fans will be watching closely to see if the winger stays at Old Trafford or makes a shock move to Chelsea. One thing is certain, however – Mark Goldbridge’s rant has set the tone for what promises to be a thrilling transfer window.
