Jadon Sancho aims subtle dig at Man United and Erik ten Hag in Chelsea video

Jadon Sancho has aimed a light-hearted dig at Manchester United when asked to name the easiest position in football.

The Manchester United forward is currently on loan at Chelsea and shared his opinion on the aforementioned question along with some of his other team-mates at the London club.

While others opted for answers such as 'centre-back' and 'striker', Sancho delivered a somewhat humorous response by simply stating: "Being on the bench", seemingly making reference to his lack of minutes at United.

Sancho has started each of Chelsea's last three Premier League fixtures, including this weekend's clash with Nottingham Forest, and appears to be enjoying his football under Enzo Maresca.

The England international made his move to Stamford Bridge after falling out of favour at Old Trafford and the Blues possess an obligation to buy the former Borussia Dortmund star at the end of the current campaign.

United were open to a sale of Sancho all summer, despite Erik ten Hag welcoming him back into the squad and insisting a line had been drawn under their dispute from last season.

When Ten Hag was asked if Sancho would stay at United during a press conference at the end of August he said: "As I know, yeah. He is a player in our squad and we are happy with him.

"We need a good squad, we need depth in the squad, we have to play many games until January, the new format of Europe. After the break we will play every third day so we absolutely need options."
