Sancho substitutes for the savior of the world, and is expected to change his life against the sky and not return to Manchester United! The Chelsea boss denied the return

The 25-year-old England winger appears to have woken up since the British media claimed that Chelsea intend to pay £5 million to return Jadon Sancho to Manchester United. He has been a hero for the Blues twice in the past week, registering two assists and one goal. His latest performance came off the bench to turn the tide as a team that had been 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Ipswich Town.

Jadon Sancho's contract on loan to Chelsea includes a £20 million to £25 million buy-out clause, with the club set to complete a permanent move as long as they are ranked below 15th in the Premier League. However, with Jadon Sancho in the slump, with just two goals and nine assists in 31 appearances, the Blues are rumoured to be considering paying £5 million in compensation to send him back to Old Trafford.

However, Sancho's performances have improved markedly since the news broke. He provided two assists for Madueke's goal in the UEFA Europa League last week as Chelsea won 3-0 and sealed a place in the last four. And in Sunday's Premier League fixture, when Chelsea trailed 2-0 at home to Ipswich Town, substitute Jadon Sancho broke the goal drought.

From Chelsea's tactical corner, Jadon Sancho didn't hesitate to win the ball on the left side of the box and fired a right-footed shot into the far corner in response to the shouts of the Stamford Bridge fans as he came on. Of course, the applause of the Bridge crowd was not directed at Jadon Sancho himself, but may have been unhappy with striker Madueke's substitution.

But in any case, Sancho's brilliant goal was met with applause and cheers. In the post-match press conference, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca also denied rumours of returning Sancho.

'He's in good form and today we decided to start Pedro and Noni [Madueke]. Noni scored twice a few days ago after returning from injury and Pedro is in good form." Maresca said, "But Jadon [Sancho] plays almost every game. My idea is to get him back some fitness and I know he's going to bring good performances to the team, like goals and assists, and he can show his quality in the second half."

Asked directly if Jadon Sancho would continue to play for Chelsea next season, Maresca said: 'When it comes to the future, let's be honest, now is the moment of truth. There's still a month left in the season and that's the focus now. It's all about how we finish the season and then we have time to decide."

The Chelsea boss elaborated: 'I love all the players we've been with, but at the moment we should finish the season well and not think about next year. My focus is completely on the rest of the race, and with two months to go, I'm fully focused on that. As for what happens in the summer, we'll see and I want all the players here happy."

Maresca continued: "To be honest, you probably know more about Sancho than I do. I don't think Sancho's situation has changed, he's exactly the same as before. Of course, statistically he could have done better, there's no doubt about it, but it's not just Sancho's problem, I think we have more players in the same situation.'

The head coach says Sancho is well aware of his situation. "I don't need to say anything to Sancho, I talk to him every day, I spoke to him yesterday. He just needs to keep giving it his all until the last minute, that's what we expect from him."

Judging from Maresca's statement, whether Chelsea will buy out Sancho or not may not be finalized yet, and he can decide his future through more good performances like this!
