Jadon Sancho was not congratulated by a single Manchester United team-mate following his move to Aston Villa.

‌

The United winger left Old Trafford for a third loan spell on transfer deadline day, signing for Unai Emery's team until the end of the 205/26 campaign.

‌

Sancho, 25, is out of contract at United in the summer with the club not planning to extend his current terms.

‌

The ex-Dortmund star has already returned to Germany and spent time with Chelsea since his high-profile move to United back in 2021.

Taking to Instagram to celebrate his newest venture, Sancho collaborated with Aston Villa's page and the Premier League to announce his move to Villa Park.

But not one current United player could be seen in the comments of the post, nor was any visible to have used the like feature either.

‌

Sancho is known to be close to former Villa loanee Marcus Rashford and is said to have spoken to the Three Lions star about his time in the Midlands.

Emery will look to get a tune out of Sancho much as Enzo Maresca did last term at Stamford Bridge, with the winger registering 14 goal contributions from 42 games.

He also scored in the 4-1 win over Real Betis to help the Blues win the UEFA Conference League.

‌

Speaking to Villa's club media on Monday, Sancho was excited for his new challenge and believes more success is only right around the corner, with Europa League football to come this term.

“As a player and especially as a team, we have to be achieving big things,” he said. “We have to be looking towards that, and hopefully I can help the team to achieve some of those goals.

“The team comes first, so whenever the manager needs me I’ll be ready.”
