Yeah, I think Sancho's a good player with a lot of room to keep growing as a player - even if he's had a year we'd probably all see and think "well that's not as good as his other years." Tbh... it does seem like a lot of players are sort of having crap seasons compared to other seasons - maybe it's got something to do with the condensed season. I don't think we'll get Sancho though, because I think FSG aren't going to be loosening up the purse strings anytime soon. If there was ever a summer to add to the side, it was probably last season where I think many players in Europe would have found us quite an attractive proposition and one of the best sides in Europe. Now I think we'd be fighting at scraps where the oil clubs, yourselves, the Spanish giants, and Bayern Munich will probably all be ahead of us in the pecking order in terms of: 1.) being able to afford very very good players and 2.) being an attractive side for players that want to be able to compete at the top now. I doubt Sancho's a priority or that Klopp wants to sell Mane, though. We've got Harvey Barnes looking like one of the top young talents in the country on loan to Blackburn and I suspect he'll get a chance to get some appearances for us. Plus Diogo Jota. Imo our biggest needs are: up top, someone to step in and immediately challenge Firmino for that spot that's been almost guaranteed to him for the past 3-4 years - and so we're not hoping for Origi being in his cult-hero form (which is literally never happens anymore); someone at the back that doesn't have the injury history of Gomez or Matip (and maybe VVD now ) that isn't shite like Phillips or Kabak; and... tbh I think we need quite a few new midfielders. But I think probably in a "sell-to-buy" situation. So we may be shit out of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depressing thing is this season... who've we got that we can sell that would have an insane fee like Coutinho? Salah - I wouldn't want that. Fabinho - I also wouldn't want that. Or Virgil Van Djik - I absolutely would not want that, I think this past season has proven how important he is to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd get a huge fee for Mane, no doubt in my mind. Firmino could still command a high fee as well. 40-50 million surely. Mane 70 - 80 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil 1,179 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I'm hoping we get our business done nice and easy this summer so when the lads return from their holidays we're good to go rather than waiting on players. Sancho being a priority for me as I think he will take our forward line to the next level needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 2,200 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 United will have a phenomenal attacking line if they sign Sancho but then it means that either they have to rely on Rashford to play centre forward and score 20-30+ goals a season or Rashford will end up spending more time on the bench. A move to England is good for Sancho, even if Real Madrid or Barce could afford him going to them so soon could be a mistake unless he'd be happy to stay at those clubs for the rest of his career/prime. A move to England means a few years at a top club and then off to Spain in his mid-late 20s if that's what he would want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rashford's best position is off the left whilst Jadon Sancho plays off the right. If we signed Sancho the strongest front three we'd have is Rashford, Cavani and Sancho. Whack Bruno and Pogba in midfield with hopefully Declan Rice and you've got a scary attacking team there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavani will play about 30 games next season as well, when you consider how many games are averagely played a season that will allow plenty of game time for Greenwood.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted June 10, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted June 10, 2021 Jadon Sancho: Manchester United have £67m bid for Borussia Dortmund winger rejected The German club wants about £77.5m for the 21-year-old, with an additional £4.25m bonus payment on top. BBC Sport also understands that in addition to the fee not being high enough, United wanted to pay it over five years when Dortmund are only willing for it to extend to four. United are now considering whether to revise their offer. The Old Trafford club will be keen to avoid a repeat of 12 months ago when they were given a fee by Dortmund for Sancho, then tried to reduce it believing the Bundesliga side would eventually sell for a lower price. In the end, Dortmund refused to budge and Sancho remained where he was. Dortmund have a gentleman's agreement with Sancho that they will allow him to leave the club if someone reaches their valuation before a certain point in the summer, which is likely to coincide with his expected return date from England duty at the European Championship. Among their major young stars, including Erling Braut Haaland and Jude Bellingham, Sancho is the only one Dortmund are interested in selling this summer. United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be keen to get the deal done and has identified a right-sided attacking player as one of his priorities. He feels there is not enough competition for places in that area of the field, a situation underlined by the fact he failed to make a substitution until extra time despite his side struggling in the Europa League final against Villarreal, which they eventually lost on penalties. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57433323 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
