After Marcus Rashford made his debut for Aston Villa in their 2-1 FA Cup fourth-round victory against Tottenham Hotspur, Jadon Sancho appears to have taken a jibe at Manchester United.
On his debut, Marcos Rashford, who signed a loan deal with Villa in January with a buyout option, made a cameo off the bench for 24 minutes. After the match was concluded, Rashford shared some pics from his day at Villa Park and thanked fans for their welcome, saying: "Thank you for the warm welcome. Great team performance".
Former Manchester United player Jadon Sancho responded ruthlessly with a comment which says, 'Freedom' and added the emojis of prayer and uplifted hand. His remark seems to be directed at those who are skeptical of Rashford, suggesting that the Reds youth graduate may finally reach his full potential after securing a move away from Old Trafford.

Marcus Rashford made his debut for Aston Villa
In the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday, Marcus Rashford made his Aston Villa debut by coming in as a substitute against Tottenham Hotspur.
Since Manchester United's victory over Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League league phase on December 12, Rashford had not played because he was excluded from Ruben Amorim's matchday rosters due to what the Portuguese coach referred to as "standards."
In the 66th minute, with Villa ahead 2-0, the 27-year-old replaced Donyell Malen and Leon Bailey with fellow loanee Marco Asensio. Villa won the match 2-1, and Unai Emery's team advanced to the fifth round.
"We have to protect every player and try to adapt them into our structure and use their skills. Marco Asensio, Rashford and Malen are versatile players in the attacking third. We can feel confident to have them," Emery said after the game.
The England international moved to Aston Villa on loan ahead of the January transfer deadline and has now made his first appearance for Villa.
