Manchester United decided that Jadon Sancho’s time at Old Trafford was up this season. The English forward moved on loan to Chelsea, with an obligation to buy.
After a fantastic start at Stamford Bridge, Sancho’s form has started to decline at Chelsea to mirror the performances he gave for the Red Devils.
That being said – Enzo Maresca is still happy to have Sancho. As bad as he was around Carrington, the winger’s Dortmund days prove there is undeniable talent there.
Sancho’s finest attribute has to be his dribbling, which is quite dazzling. However, even he knows it’s not as good as one of his former Manchester United teammates.
Jadon Sancho holds Cristiano Ronaldo’s dribbling in high regard
Although Cristiano Ronaldo’s second spell at Manchester United didn’t pan out the way he would have wanted, it will have been nothing short of a fever dream for some young stars to play with the Red Devils legend.
Sancho, in particular, holds Ronaldo in high regard. He believes he’s an even better dribbler than arguably the greatest player to grace the Premier League, Thierry Henry.
The 24-year-old recently spoke with Sky Sports via Instagram and played a game of ‘who is the better dribbler’, starting with himself.
The final pick of the video was a toss-up between Henry and his former teammate, Ronaldo, but he didn’t hesitate with his decision. Ronaldo, it is.
Ronaldo’s dribbling was certainly not as good in his return to Old Trafford, but as a youngster it was frightening.
The Portuguese had to change his game. Ronaldo was a goalscorer for United, which he’s continued to do at his new club in Saudi Arabia.
Sancho also picked Nani over himself
The game began with Sancho as the first player, and it was another former Manchester United star Nani that the Chelsea winger said trumped his dribbling abilities. Here is how the game went.
- Jadon Sancho or Allan Saint-Maximin? Jadon.
- Jadon Sancho or Yannik Bolasie? Jadon.
- Jadon Sancho or Adel Taarabt? Jadon.
- Jadon Sancho or Hatem Ben Arfa? Jadon.
- Jadon Sancho or Wilfried Zaha? Jadon.
- Jadon Sancho or Dimitri Payet? Jadon.
- Jadon Sancho or Nani? Nani.
- Nani or Riyad Mahrez? Nani.
- Nani or Jay-Jay-Okocha? Nani.
- Nani or Joe Cole? Nani.
- Nani or Eden Hazard? Hazard.
- Eden Hazard or Thierry Henry? Henry.
- Thierry Henry or Cristiano Ronaldo? Ronaldo.
Some bold calls, particularly Nani over Okocha. However, like most times in football, Ronaldo is the undeniable greatest of them all.
