Recently, Arsenal old Sagna in an interview on this summer's transfer to Chelsea Sancho gave high praise, and expressed his understanding of his plight in Manchester United. Sagna recalled working with Sancho during his youth training period at Manchester City, calling Sancho "one of the most talented players he has ever seen".

Early talent first revealed

Sagna recalls, "Sancho was 16 years old when I trained with him at Manchester City and I thought he had exceptional talent." This assessment not only demonstrated Sancho's exceptional talent in his early years, but also foreshadowed his bright future in soccer.

The glory of the Dortmund era

Talking about Sancho's performance in Dortmund, Sagna was even more complimentary: "He shone in Dortmund, both in the first and second period of his playing period, he was very good, maybe even the best player in the team." This is a testament to Sancho's competitiveness and influence in Europe's top leagues.

The mystery of Manchester United's woes

However, Sagna expressed his difficulty in understanding Sancho's plight at United: "I don't understand why Sancho is in such a difficult situation at United. It's an English club, he knows the place, speaks the language and he is very respectful. I'm not really sure what is going on within the United team." The query has also sparked widespread speculation among fans and the media about the internal environment at United.

A new chapter for Chelsea

Sagna is optimistic about Sancho joining Chelsea: "I think Sancho is a great addition for Chelsea. He has the ability to create a threat to opponents over a long period of time and, as a Londoner, he has returned home to be with his family and friends, which will help him make a big impact at a top club like Chelsea."

Looking forward to future performance

So far, Sancho has made one appearance for Chelsea and contributed one assist. Despite his limited playing time, Sagna is confident in his future performances, "I'm not surprised by Sancho's ability and the impact he's showing now, as he already showed this talent at the age of 16." Fans have reason to expect more from Sancho at Chelsea as the season progresses.
