Jadon Sancho’s motivation for leaving Man Utd to join Chelsea leaves legend furious

Emmanuel Petit has expressed his frustration over Jadon Sancho's decision to become Chelsea's latest addition on deadline day.

However, former Chelsea midfielder Petit is struggling to comprehend what drove ex-Manchester City prospect Sancho to make the move to Stamford Bridge, considering the intense competition for places in west London. The Frenchman even joked about the lack of space in Chelsea's dressing room due to their active recruitment drive during the summer.

At the training ground they must have two dressing rooms, three pitches and 12 physios.
