Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho has clapped back at Aston Villa opponent Leon Bailey.
Jadon Sancho had expressed his disappointment with Manchester United’s draw against Tottenham on Thursday night.
Sending a message out on Instagram, he pledged to ‘make things right’ on the subsequent Sunday game.
Well, while close pal Leon Bailey was concerned, this sounded like a challenge.
Sancho bites back at Bailey
Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey had responded to Sancho’s message, writing: “Let’s see about making things right”.
The inference was that in-form Villa were ready to take more points off Manchester United in Sunday’s game at Old Trafford.
Sancho started the game and created two chances as Manchester United won 1-0, moving closer to securing a Champions League spot.
The United winger had clearly seen Bailey’s message. After United’s victory, he logged onto Instagram, went back to the message he was left two days earlier, and responded with a 👀 emoji.
Bailey and Sancho got to know each other in the Bundesliga when the United star was at Borussia Dortmund and the Villa ace at Bayer Leverkusen.
It is worth pointing out, that Bailey did not feature at all for Aston Villa in their defeat to Manchester United, missing the game with a thigh injury.
This is something he will certainly be keen to point out to Sancho, if privately, having seen his challenge to the United man fall flat.
