Excellent talent of City, going to leave them either this or next season. We're interested(as our Arsenal, Spurs, Dortmund and RB)

Manchester United are competing with Arsenal and Tottenham to sign unsettled Manchester Cityyoungster Jadon Sancho.

It is understood Sancho, 17, was excluded from City's pre-season tour squad over his refusal to sign a new contract amid interest from the North London clubs.

However, M.E.N. Sport understands United are 'pushing hard' to convince England youth international Sancho to remain in the north-west and move across Manchester.

Sancho is believed to want a clearer pathway to first-team football after he was named best player at the Under-17 European Championship in Croatia and is tempted by a return down south.

The teenager is also prepared to spend a year overseas, potentially at Red Bull Leipzig, in order for his new club to avoid paying a significant compensation fee to City. If Sancho, who is on a youth contract, moved to a Premier League club they would have to pay training compensation.

Former Watford scholar Sancho scored seven times for an England side deprived of United talent Angel Gomes during the Euros in May and is regarded among City's most exciting talents, along with Phil Foden and Brahim Diaz.

Gomes joining in with the muppetry five days ago
 
Those who have watched him, is he considered a similar talent to that other kid who played against us in the friendly?
 
Sign him up. If only to annoy the shit out of City.

And good for him that he wants to play. He obviously wont get a chance at that bunch of clowns.
 
This would be an ideal winger signing tbh. Someone who wouldn't expect to be first team, but know he'll get chances - which he would due to the lack of wide options we have. I think mourinho will definitely want martial to be first choice, but there will be a fair few games he just doesn't cut it for. Not to mention we are in all competitions.

Foden who played against us is more of a david Silva. Sancho's more of a direct goal threat. He's very highly rated.

I think Gomes' comment is purely on about the U17 WC.

Perhaps, but could also be him trying not to be too obvious and covering his tracks a bit. The timing is very random and a bit suspicious given Sancho's situation at City and those eyes suggest he knows something we don't.

We'd be extremely daft not to be trying to get him anyway, and what an amazing coup if we pull it off, on par with City getting Gomes from us if it ever happened.

The hashtag says world Cup? Not really joining in with the Muppetry imo

Didn't notice the hashtag. Will pretend it's not there.
 
Imagine taking one of their brightest talents after the way the press has been shitting on our academy for the past 4 years.

Timing is random given the squad won't even be out for another month at least.

As one wise man said it:

No paedophile or rape jokes before anyone thinks of posting one. Should go without saying really but have to post it as I know what some are like.

Exactly. Plus those eyes, when people use them it usually means they're up to something. The #WC hashtag is obviously covering his tracks, I mean how obvious would he be if he hadn't used that hashtag? :lol:

He'll be a star. But I've heard that he's homesick and wants to go back to London.

I've heard that he's been talking to BVB so can't be all that homesick. Claimed he wanted away from his home in Sarf Landon because of bad influences. Either he or his advisors are over playing their hand IMO.

If that's the big issue bring some of the family down, or be a bit more generous with trips home. It's only 2 hours on the train. Throw in rail travel to London as part of his contract.

That said, that would make him one of United's highest paid players.

Easy now. See Jermaine Pennant; Ravel Morrison and countless other "nice lads who just have dodgy friends".

Not saying he won't be a star but let's non anoint him the next coming of Messi just yet.
 


Doing the ground work on this lads.
 
How long has Sancho got left on his contract? Can United offer him a contract now or will we have to deal with City?
