While Jude Bellingham is playing at Euro 2024 with England, Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho has not travelled with the England side, which has been the case for some time now.
Flashback to Euro 2020, Jude Bellingham did travel with the England squad but did not exactly have the minutes, and the responsibility, he does now with Gareth Southgate’s side.
He did however make history. He appeared in England’s Euro 2020 quarter-final defeat of Ukraine, making him the youngest player to feature in a Euro knockout game.
It was Jadon Sancho who featured more prominently. The Borussia Dortmund wonderkid was on top of the world, cementing himself as one of the game’s rising stars and tearing up the Bundesliga.
He then moved to Manchester United, and well, the rest is unfortunate history. He now is miles off the Three Lions squad and looks set to move away
from Old Trafford this summer.
Saying this, he is still close with a lot of the side, including none more so than Bellingham, with the English duo linking up in Germany for Dortmund. Sancho has sent him a message whilst on Euros duty.
Jadon Sancho sends message to Jude Bellingham
Just a day before England’s Round of 16 clash with Slovakia at Euro 2024, Bellingham hit another milestone in his life – his 21st birthday.
The Real Madrid Galactico celebrated this milestone in Germany with his national side and will be hoping his late present will be a victory to advance to the quarter-final stage.
His close friend Sancho sent him a message via Instagram stories, which said: “Happy birthday brother, continue to be great,” accompanied by a fingers crossed and a love heart emoji pairing.
Jude Bellingham responds
Sancho’s former teammate took the time out of his day to respond. He simply replied, “Big brother.”
Bellingham is an extremely popular man. He received an abundance of messages, including some huge names such as Vinicius Jr, Phil Foden, and even Manchester United legend David Beckham’s son – Romeo.
Now Bellingham, alongside Manchester United stars Kobbie Mainoo and Luke Shaw, look to bring football home for the first time since 1966. Good luck to them.
