A Chelsea player has been accused of being tone deaf after an incident happened online this week involving his former team mate.

It’s all just very silly really and all around a comment posted by Jadon Sancho this week.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea have laid down ground work in deal to sign striker BEFORE Club World Cup!

The Blues winger, on loan from Manchester United, took a dig at his current employers whilst responding to a post by Marcus Rashford.

It was an incident that even had Rio Ferdinand talking about it earlier this week as well, although indirectly.

Rashford joined Aston Villa on loan in the January transfer window after a torrid recent time at Manchester United. He made his debit for them earlier in the week, and Sancho posted ‘freedom’ on his post in response to that.

This is a dig at United, a club he feels that not only he is pleased to be away from. I guess he knows what it was like for many other players there too.

Sancho will join Chelsea on a permanent deal in the summer with the obligation now ready to be activated. So I guess he is in a position where he feels he can say what he wants about them. Rashford might not yet be in that position.

Rashford distances himself from the drama

According to The Daily Mail, sources close to Marcus Rashford have indicated that he does not appreciate being dragged into Jadon Sancho’s tensions with Manchester United. Rashford wants to stay on good terms with the club and supporters.

They also say that Rashford feels Sancho’s comment was ‘tone deaf’ at the very least and is not amused by it.

Shame. I’m sure he will be speaking a lot more about his time at United when he finally leaves officially.
