Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford Back Jadon Sancho Amid Setback
Jadon Sancho has had a challenging time since joining Aston Villa on loan from Manchester United. He has made only four appearances for the Villa squad, with significant gaps between those outings.
Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford Show Support for Sancho
Recently, Bruno Fernandes led the support from his Manchester United teammates for Sancho after he returned from an illness. Sancho participated in the Europa League match against Go Ahead Eagles, marking his first game since late September. This game followed a series of missed opportunities, as he had been absent for two matches against Burnley and Feyenoord after being a substitute in the previous Premier League match against Fulham.
Sancho’s Performance and Matches
Overall, his appearances for Aston Villa have been limited to:
- Four total appearances
- One appearance in the Premier League
- Two appearances in the Europa League
- One appearance in the League Cup against Brentford
In total, Sancho has spent just over 180 minutes on the pitch. Notably, this is more time than Noussair Mazraoui has seen for Manchester United this season, though it falls short of Kobbie Mainoo’s experience.
Social Media Reactions
Sancho expressed his relief and joy in a recent social media post. He wrote, “Good to be back out there on the pitch with the boys after a lil setback due to illness.” Several Manchester United players, including Ethan Wheatley, Joe Hugill, Marcus Rashford, and Shea Lacey, showed their support by liking his post. Others, such as Ian Maatsen and Manuel Akanji, also provided encouraging comments.
As Sancho continues to work through his challenges at Aston Villa, the backing from his former club and colleagues remains strong. Their encouragement reflects the unity within the Manchester United squad.
