Chelsea winger, Jadon Sancho has aimed a subtle dig at Manchester United and former manager, Erik ten Hag after he was named Player of the Match for his performances against Bournemouth.

Sancho, 24, spoke of how ‘happy’ he was to play and to instantly feel ‘comfortable’ at Chelsea, perhaps a dig at United and Ten Hag.

The England international made a surprise transfer to Chelsea on loan from Manchester United on deadline day after three nightmare years at Old Trafford.

He provided the assist for Christopher Nkunku’s goal against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

“It’s amazing to make my debut for Chelsea, just being back playing, I’m very grateful,” Sancho told Sky Sports.

“I have been working hard for this moment and I’m happy I got my chance.

“I had a great end to last season, being in the Champions League season. Going into this season, I wanted to have a good start and I’m happy.

“I have to say thank you to the staff and team-mates. The first day I came in, they made me feel welcome and I’m so happy to feel this comfortable.”

Super Eagles playmaker, Alex Iwobi, has admitted they are waiting to see if the team would still play at the 2026 World Cup.

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is optimistic of a potential lifeline from FIFA, after it submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Iwobi was asked by SuperSport if he would rather lift the AFCON 2025 trophy or qualify for the World Cup?

The 29-year-old, who played at the 2018 of the World Cup, replied: “I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.

“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have like in your career, a memorable moment.

“But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been. They would like to say ‘I want to go to the World Cup,’ so I can’t be selfish and say win the AFCON and for my teammates to not go to the World Cup. So it’s a tough one. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
