Sancho, who scored in Chelsea’s 2025 Europa Conference League final win and was part of Villa’s Europa League title-winning side last season, was praised by Flixton as entirely professional, humble, and generous with his time.
They said that after finishing his session, he happily met young fans, posed for photos, signed autographs, and left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
They described Jadon as a world-class player whose achievements surpass what most footballers can only dream of.
They added that he deserves respect for both his accomplishments and the way he conducted himself during the visit, not the unwarranted criticism that followed.
A former Manchester City youth player who joined Dortmund in 2017, Sancho thanked the club in a video with Flixton manager Alex Mortimer.
“You’ve got a great setup, I must say,” Sancho remarked on his first visit to the area, smiling as he added: “It’s the first really nice pitch I’ve seen—apart from United and City.”
