Paul Pogba has been impressed by Jadon Sancho’s early contributions at Chelsea after the winger’s loan switch from Manchester United.
Sancho endured a tough tme at Old Trafford after joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2021, and ended last season back at the German club after a falling-out with United manager Erik ten Hag.
Another loan followed in August, with Chelsea bringing him to West London for a season with an obligation to buy for up to £25m next summer if conditions are met.
A boyhood Chelsea fan, Sancho has hit the ground running at Stamford Bridge. He came off the bench to set up Christopher Nkunku’s winner at Bournemouth on his debut, while his first start brought another assist in a 3-0 win at West Ham.
Pogba and Sancho were briefly team-mates at Old Trafford, spending the 2021-22 season together under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick.
And the French international made it perfectly clear how he feels about his ex-colleague’s revival.
Sancho shared a set of photos from Saturday’s win at the London Stadium on his Instagram account.
Among them was one of his celebrations with Nicolas Jackson, whose opening goal came after a pass from the winger.
“Solid performance from the boys, have a great weekend blues,” Sancho wrote, tagging Chelsea’s official account. Pogba’s response was a straightforward one, with the Frenchman simply replying: “Him”.
Pogba wasn’t the only former team-mate spotted in the comments. Borussia Dortmund duo Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Gregor Kobel both offered their congratulations, while current colleague Tosin replied “another one” after a second assist in as many games.
