Couple of journos saying Utd have been contacted by un named Saudi clubs interested in taking Sancho this month. Quite possibly clickbait nonsense but if true what would you do if you were the club?

Given his form for past 30 months, his wages (around 300k + per week) and the ETH situation I would snap their hands off for 40mill and just admit its another one we got wrong.

{Ed077's Note - get him out. Not had a single great game since joining. He should work his socks off to earn his spot in the starting XI instead of crying like a baby. Not the kind of attitude to persevere with

I'd take just about any offer that at least takes his wages off our books. Otherwise, along with Antony, it's very much looking like we're going to have two highly paid big money transfers added to our long list of failures. Whatever the club can do to mitigate its losses it should do.

45/ 50 mill I would kiss their hand. Shore up with a proper CB in Jan and another striker on loan or permanent basis and we have all the pieces for the second half of the season when it really counts. Playing Fifa manager on fantasy football lol.

Sell him, cut your losses on his wages and the amount they bought him for. Give Garnacho all of his game time he would have gotten along with Pellestri coming in for Antony and then Diallo when he's fit and ready again.

Time to cut ties if possible. It's one thing to have a player who isn't performing, but when that player starts causing trouble and being disruptive there is literally no reason to keep him.

Sell him and give Pellistri and Amad more chances this season. If we have to we can look at adding someone in January.

He’s been garbage. Take anything above £20m and get him out. Much better than being stuck with a player who can’t be arsed and causes disruption for the next 3 years whilst earning ridiculous wages.

The Man utd sunk cost fallacy continues.
Sell Sancho and Anthony asap.
Both tripe
Amad, pellestri and Garnacho, the latter should be starting every game from Brighton onwards. He is ready.

Bite their hand of if it’s true, but it’s probably not! whilst I don’t agree with what Ten done (should deal with problems in house instead of just getting people on his side) I not rated Sancho since day one and said at the time he was a complete waste of time and about his attitude problems, I was told did not know what I was talking about he needs to settle and he is a great footballer who will get better and better! That really turned out well ain’t it! No loss whatsoever could not care less if Antony goes the same way, that’s 3 misfits that will be gone!

The other is a world class talent who is coming back once the snowflakes have melted away ?.

Guess we'll know within a day whether he goes or not.
We'll then have gone from having 6-7 winger types and offloading the flotsam to end up with only a few genuine wingers, or left/ right sided attackers as they've become :D
I first began following Utd as I was a fan of the Danish team and we had a chap Jesper Olsen. Strachan on the other flank. A few years later along came the likes of Lee Sharpe, Ryan Giggs, and the fastest thing I've seen on two legs Andrei Kanchelskis.
These are the types of players who'd get me off my seat back in the day. We have two genuine wingers, Garnacho and Antony. Rashford is a more modern type.
I guess we'd be in the market come January if Sancho does move on. Who knows, god help us who knows what could be going on with Antony by then.
A couple of terrific players in the Prem who could do a job. Mitoma, Eze, Olise, Diaby et al.

Accept any offer, get him gone.

It’s 1 less player from the Ole era stinking the place out with their poor attitude, and a ridiculous salary gone too.

Should also have added… Pellestri has been nothing not positive so far. He’s not made a squeak to the media, and always looks to beat his man. He may or may not be good enough, but I’d rather give him Sancho’s minutes to find out, rather than let cabbage brain wear the short again.

Mitoma seems like an excellent player but doesn't he play on the left? We already have Rashford and Garnacho there, so he's highly unlikely. If Sancho fails to be sold or measure up (most likely scenario because he clearly doesn't have the talent or the cojones and who wants an overpaid whiner) and then we lose Antony (a dead cert if he's charged by either British or Brazilian prosecuters), we will probably end up with either Diallo, Pellistri or one of Mount/ Bruno providing width from that side. With a decent CF, reinforcements in MF, and defenders eventually coming back into fitness, I don't think any of those options will be a significant downgrade, and maybe the opposite. It's not as though either Sancho or Antony has been lighting up the EPL, although at least Antony puts a proper shift in.

I honestly don’t think you would miss either of them, in fact least if Bruno or mount plays there crosses will come in…. I don’t think Ten fancies Pellestri in the slightest which is another mystery in my book.
I be shocked if Antony not suspended before they come back, the messages are not too savoury and he not even denying those! The excuse of a volatile relationship from Antony, makes you laugh, he is like a spoilt petulant child on the pitch if he tackled, what shocks me most though is Ten must have known his temperament from Ajax! Let he still chose to buy him, that’s another mystery!
We seem to stumble from one mess to another, it’s like a bad soap opera!

What would be nice imo is if new owners come in and made sweeping changes from top to bottom, the whole lot gone all paid off, no one stays start again, get all departments all working with the same game plan, I’m not sure it’s anything like that at the moment and certainly not for last 10 years, even all board need to go, you had some of them plotting against Jose back then so guess probably same now. It’s a shambles as much as anyone tries to make excuses it’s just not normal for it to be like this!

Don’t bank on that jimbo, I don’t think he ever recovers from it, not only a tarnished reputation, there are too many against it, for it to happen.
I agree one of the best talents we had for a long time, but that in no way overcomes the despicable behaviour and attitude he got.
Don’t give me all that no charges so innocent stuff either we all know how that come about.
Must be because lucky number 11 shirt cases get dropped!

Aye Shawthing he does play on the left. Just chucking winger names out there. Sancho for his sins does seem a bit more diverse in where he can be played. Personally feel he's got more potential as a 10. Jack of all trades, master of none.

Spenno

He is physically weak and hates a tackle or physicality. He just does not have the toughness for this league.

He needs to play in a league where you are afforded time on the ball and more space and open play. Playing in a league where you have 20 players in 1/ 3 of the pitch most of the time and fast and physical not his thing.

I would get him out as soon as possible which is Jan at best, We will take a major financial loss on this guy, which does not help us one bit and the club is stuck and in a very very difficult place with what's going on with guys like him and Antony, Maguire, DVB.

IF anything it is quite evident the club needs to put their foot down and force some discipline with an iron fist by simply asking people who are earning massive wages behave like professional on the pitch and off the pitch.

Reserve football till Jan if it was me and I realize it will not help his valuation in terms of moving him but we are already going to take a bath on it so a bit more is of no consequence if we finally want to make a point.

Its a circus for a manager atm.

Take their hands off for that sort of money- go in january for another striker and also ship varane with him tbh and get a young cb- we have cover up front and hopefully players coming back by then.

Not banking on anything Trafford.
But there is nothing to lose from my side.

In seriousness though, the club, which is the most important part in all of this, needs to learn.
The latter years or Fergie have led to the current demise, of that I have no doubt, but that is a separate issue. However, I'm pretty confident in saying, under Fergie's watch, this event 1. Would likely not have happened under his watch, or 2. If it did, it would have been killed off immediately, such is the talent of MG.

I said very early on, MG needed a team of people to guide him through life to ensure he focused on banging screamers in the top bin instead of his girlfriends chin. That would have happened under Fergie, the question is, has all that kind of support been removed from the club, the evidence suggests so, as we have a continual flow of issues coming out of the club, be that abusive C***s, overpaid tripe who are stealing a living or mentally unfit personnel who are not fit to lick the dog rubbish of Keano's loafers after taking his dogs for a walk.

The signs appear to be there that we are in a transition towards better times, but these type of distractions need to go away, fast.
We need to create a ship that sails plainly through the seas, unnoticed by the media, until we reach our final destination, atop the premier league ladder and lifting champions league trophies.

We need to go back to basics with transfers. We seem to now go for the finished article and pay big bucks. Imo go get the guys that deal with brightons transfers, offer them the big wages and sort this mess out. Over the past 6 years we've brought pogba, lukaku, sancho, maguire and Anthony for big money, big money mistakes. For the price of one of these players we could have got all of these players. ferguson, mitoma, caicedo, mcalliser and estupinion. All of whom would have improved this team massively. We like shiney toys with big names but none have delivered. Massive wages and fees.

I agree completely. We seem to spend big chunks of money on players who everyone has heard about and get a lot of media coverage. We are generally competing for their signature with other clubs in most cases and selling clubs end up getting a premium over what we should be paying.

Our academy is strange as it produces either worldly attacking players and the rest are so average and no CB or mids coming though at all. Mainoo is the exception and remains to be seen if he is going to make it.

I know people might disagree but Rashford in world class for me, Greenwood before his suspension was even ahead of rash for me and higher level and was ranked with likes mbappe as top 3 young strikers in the world.

Garnacho is another one, Who could be something special and yes he will have bad games, they all do.

Show me a PL team who has produced 3 players of this caliber from their academy in the last 6 years.

What's missing is, we should be off buying 18/ 19 olds for reasonable fees 10-15 mill range, who might be ready even if we don't think so and at worst even if one or two seasons, loan them out to other European or championship teams, That's the one piece we don't do well at all.



I finally have MU TV and been watching some of the youth games. There a few players that are interesting and have potential but still ways to go.

AHMED…. Your seriously putting Rashford and Ganarcho and Greenwood in the same class as Mbappe, well that confirms it, your totally deranged!

Wow, calling people deranged, I honestly don't understand how eds let this slip.

Also, he didn't compare all of them to Mbappe, only Greenwood (which I agree), you should really read more closely.

Must make it right then if you agree Trololo……. How on earth can even Greenwood be on same level as Mbappe, not kicked a ball in 18 months, previous to that not even a regular, got chucked home from England squad, won nothing, yet you say he on same level as Mbappe, not mind boggles.

Then a snide remark…sums up the post!

Everyone has an opinion, but I really do not care much what you will say, as I've seen your posts and I can't take your opinion very seriously. I don't even want to go to any debate, be it about Greenwood, Ten Hag, or anything, I'd rather just ignore your posts from now on.
