Is Sancho a fraud or is it just United who are a complete shambles?

They clearly don’t do any due diligence on the characters of the fellas they lash all this money on.

Sorry, no wait they don’t invest in the team do they it’s all interest payments and debts & get out of our club & green and gold, never be sold & we want our United back & love United, hate the Glazers and the Scousers.

The story is he's had major struggles with depression. I think we could make something of him.

I’m someone that never really saw him at BvB apart from the odd highlight. People were gutted we didn’t get him. Loads said he’s immediately be one of the league’s best.

He’s had issues that defo need to be taken into account, but I can’t get over how poor he’d looked from minute one. Dirk Kuyt had more pace on the wing.

Hopefully we never try that out.

I've seen him play well for England, never seen him play for them, except in absolute hammerings against us where they all looked hopeless

I dunno, signing him on a free and him winning the Ballon D'or for us.... I'd take it

Neither are happening

Yeah he has to be better than he’s shown. Has to be.

But he’s been genuinely awful for them.

Didn't he have record figures for goal involvements in Germany in his last season? I know the league isn't as good, and some players (like Werner) who score loads then end up doing little here, but yeah, am also surprised by how poor he's been for them (yay).

Didn’t he score against us last year?

Both things can be true. 

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

50 goals in 137 games for Dortmund by the age of 21 isn't bad going regardless. Sometimes moves don't work out, good players need different teams, sometimes like with Dele there's more going on

Haaland and Bellingham can from Dortmund and were kings of their respective leagues and were straight away.

The lad is clearly just another victim of Melodrama FC

He'll be warming the bench for Everton soon

Sancho had 64 assists and 50 goals in 137 games for Dortmund. I reckon he'd have done a lot better somewhere else.

If he was as good as Bellingham or Halaand, a better club would have been in for him

We were in for him. We couldn't afford him.

Greedy c*** went to the wrong club and wrecked his career

[Bogman]

So, after their original alleged, “verbal” offer, they’ve actually not done nothing, not sent in a bid,, agreed wages, et al with the player……..so, in my fluent pidgeaon  English, the Saudis have done sweet fanny Adam.

Get tae f***.

I don't know about that. We were after him too weren't we? Lots of clubs were. The thing with him is his physicality or lack thereof and a lack of professionalism as footballer. As a winger he needs to be explosive which he isn't. He's not fast and he doesn't work hard. This makes is difficult for him to excel in a front three for a top team. I could see him do well as a 10 as he wouldn't have to be as explosive and could contribute with his passing skills and vision so I think he ends up at Chelsea next season where he can play one of the two 10's alongside Sterling behind their striker. I certainly don't see any way back for him at United. Looks like Ten Hag is fed up with him and rightly so. It's not unfair to have expected more commitment from him.

Yeah I read a Liverpool journo recently - can’t remember which one - who said he fancied coming here until the Mancs came with their stupid wages.

So, maybe they phoned Mike Gordon, were told he's not for sale, Salah's agent also told them no, and they decided to just leave it alone? You know, like normal?

Other than f***ing Kaveh, nobody was talking a second bid.

Yep, not physical, not a worker, can't beat a man. Only solution is do is replace him with Antony for £85M
