Chelsea have twisted the knife further into Manchester United after fans noticed the curious timing of a social media post that featured Red Devils loanee Jadon Sancho.
Despite going down to 10 men in the first half against Tottenham after Bruno Fernandes was sent off, the Red Devils rarely looked like laying a punch on Tottenham in a 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford.
The result has Erik ten Hag's side sitting in 12th on the ladder with just two wins from six Premier League games.
United's display against Tottenham was widely panned by pundits, with Red Devils icon Gary Neville going as far as describing it 'pub football' and 'an absolute disgrace' in a savage takedown.
It now looks like Chelsea got in on the act, although it remains unknown if the timing of a certain post was intentional.
Although they were down a man, United rarely looked like laying a glove on Tottenham
Just minutes after referee Chris Kavanagh blew for full time and put United out of their misery at Old Trafford, Chelsea posted a picture of four-goal hero Cole Palmer and Sancho.
The Blues did not even write a caption for the post as they simply added a smiling emoji and a blue circle.
Sancho even reposted the image on his own X account.
Chelsea fans took great delight at the curious timing of the post.
One fan wrote on X: 'Posting this after Manchester United loss is absolute banter from Chelsea admin and I love it.'
United's loss has proved to be Chelsea's gain when it comes to Sancho this season, as the winger recorded his third league assist for the Blues in their 4-2 win over Brighton on Saturday.
Sancho started at left wing for Enzo Maresca's side and provided the assist for Palmer's fourth against the Seagulls.
The forward moved on a season-long loan to Chelsea on deadline day from United, with the Blues obligated to make the move permanent for just £23million at the end of the season.
Sancho faced the prospect of significantly reduced playing time this season after he was frozen out by Ten Hag following a public falling out between the pair last year.
The 24-year-old secured a loan move back to Dortmund for the second half of the 2023-24 season and even featured in the Champions League final.
