Jadon Sancho, who was completely ruined at Manchester United, is reviving as soon as he goes to Chelsea.

The soccer statistics media OPTA released the top 10 players with the highest number of dribbling successes per game in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season on the 3rd (Korea time).

The player who rose to the top of the league beyond Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku, who is currently considered the best dribbling player in the EPL, was surprisingly Sancho. Sancho dribbled 4.7 times per 90 minutes, outpacing Doku, who had 4.4 times per 90 minutes.

Sancho was also overwhelming compared to other ranked players. Mohammed Kudus (West Ham United), Adam Traore (Fullum) and Tyler Dibling (Southampton), who are in third place, were dribbling four times per 90 minutes.

Underneath them were Cody Gakpo (Liverpool), Steph Mabidi (Leicester City), Savinho (Man City), Harry Clarke (Ipswich Town) and Bukayo Saka (Arnall). Players from 6th to 10th place were making about three dribbles per game on average.

Sancho seems to be reviving after leaving Manchester United for Chelsea. He has played in three league games and still lacks samples, but he is clearly different from his time at Manchester United. Sancho, who accumulated offensive points as soon as he debuted in the fourth round of the league, also recorded help in the fifth and sixth rounds.

A player who has six assists in 83 games for Manchester United has three assists in three games after joining Chelsea on loan. I can feel my confidence in my performance. The brilliant football sense shown during the first period of Borussia Dortmund is reviving.

The fact that Sancho, who was so sluggish and troublesome at Manchester United, is showing his ability as soon as he moves to Chelsea is evidence that he failed to make full use of Sancho at Manchester United. Since it is the coach's ability to properly draw out the player's ability, there is no choice but to raise more questions about coach Erik ten Hag's leadership.

Of course, Sancho's conduct itself was not correct. There was also a controversy over privacy, and last season, he caused problems for the team by publicly protesting against the coach. Through this process, Sancho eventually began to be classified as one of the worst recruiters of Manchester United history along with Antony.

The criticism was inevitably high because Manchester United brought Sancho for 85 million euros (about 1251 billion won). This is because it is the fourth highest transfer fee ever.

Recently, Manchester United has frequently been unable to enjoy the effect even after recruiting players at a high price. I think it's time to look back on whether the coach is using the players he recruited properly.
