In a stunning twist that will sting the red side of Manchester, Jadon Sancho has finally lifted his first major trophy in English football — but not with Manchester United. The winger, who endured a turbulent stint at Old Trafford, has found redemption and silverware at Chelsea, helping the Blues clinch the UEFA Europa Conference League title in a thrilling 4-1 victory over Real Betis last night.
Sancho, who joined Chelsea in January after a high-profile fallout with United manager Erik ten Hag, played a key role in Chelsea's cup run. He also score in the final against Betis, his creative presence and decisive passing proved vital throughout the campaign. But it was his post-match celebrations that truly grabbed headlines.
As Chelsea players soaked in the celebrations, Sancho took to Instagram Live, smiling with the trophy in hand and cheekily playing the viral "Still No Trophy" chant — often aimed at United during their dry spells. He captioned the clip: “This one’s for the bench warmers 😂🔵 #ChampionMindset.”
The dig was impossible to miss. Sancho’s strained relationship with United was public and bitter. After being exiled from the squad for “disciplinary issues,” the England international was loaned out and never featured again for Ten Hag. His transformation at Chelsea — with regular starts, an improved work rate, and growing confidence — has reignited the career many feared was stalling.
United fans, meanwhile, were left fuming on social media. Once heralded as a future superstar at Old Trafford, Sancho is now being hailed as a symbol of mismanagement by some and betrayal by others. His taunt, though light-hearted on the surface, exposed deeper frustrations within the United fanbase, especially given their trophyless season and ongoing issues behind the scenes.
Chelsea fans, however, are loving every moment. Sancho’s resurgence has become a symbol of their late-season revival under the new manager, and many now believe he could be central to a new era at Stamford Bridge.
One thing is clear: Jadon Sancho’s first trophy in English football didn’t just earn him silverware — it earned him a spot in the headlines, a shot at redemption, and a very loud laugh at the expense of Manchester United.
