  WHAT HAPPENED?

  As United were losing 3-0 to Tottenham on Sunday, Chelsea posted a cheeky tweet showing Cole Palmer and former Red Devils man Jadon Sancho. United fans have subsequently taken aim at the Blues, having read the tweet as a dig at the club. Sancho completed a loan move to Chelsea from United in the summer transfer window, and the Blues have an obligation to buy him outright at the end of the season.
