Also good friends with Angel Gomes. Here's hoping!Seems to be friends with Rashers. Must be a pull to play with him.

This point makes no sense at all.He is? So why isn't he a product of your academy then?
So, when supposed club affiliation didn't matter back then, why should it be a factor now(or, lets say soon)?I don't know whether he is Manutd fan but not sure about your logic. ManUtd fan doesn't mean he should be in academy. Sterling was Manutd fan, didn't stop him from moving to Liverpool when he was 16 and then to City.
Not a United fan.He's a United fan? And left City because they wouldn't play him. Why would he go back for more of that?
The Liverpool flop?United should pay Suso's release clause (40m euros) to cover RW until 2021
Along his current trajectory and ascension, you're talking about a £100m-£130m or whatever player becoming a £200m player or more. Add on the Euros, as Dortmund would not sell before he performed in those, and you have potentially world record transfer fee territory unless Kane or Neymar move on in the interim.Ideally we'd go for him and be successful getting him this summer but I'd fine with him developing a further 12 months at Dortmund and then getting him next summer if the price isn't massively different. I doubt he'd be that much cheaper than what they sold Dembele for though unfortunately.
Yeah, maybe Alderweireld at 25m plus Sancho and then money left over for a right-back. That's not a bad summer.If we decided to save some money on a CB by giving Jones a new contract it is fine if we invest in this kid instead. We have Martial and Rashford and the fact Sancho plays on the right, is a United-fan, friends with a lot of our academy boys etc. makes him the perfect fit. It will set us up nicely where we don't really have to worry about any more forward signings. Especially considering who we have knocking on the door from the academy. We could just pay whatever to get him quick, then spend rest of the window trying to offload Rojo, Lukaku and Sanchez and whatever money we get can be used in other areas.
What makes you think they're friends?Seems to be friends with Rashers. Must be a pull to play with him.
Yeah, something like that. I don't think Alderweireld is good enough at all anymore but thats just me.Yeah, maybe Alderweireld at 25m plus Sancho and then money left over for a right-back. That's not a bad summer.
I’d be fine with Wan Bisakka, Maguire and Maguire. Maybe that’s £200m and then go for Rice the following summer. I’ve always liked the idea of as many domestic players as possible if they are of the right quality and temperament.Yeah, something like that.

I didn't say it should matter, just that the question you asked was wrong. I don't even think Sancho is ManUtd fan.So, when supposed club affiliation didn't matter back then, why should it be a factor now(or, lets say soon)?
Yeah Rashford probably knows Sancho from internationals, but it’s more likely Sancho is friends with the likes of Gomes who he’d of played with and against several times.What makes you think they're friends?
So Chelsea are going to sign Pulisic and his Dortmund replacement Sancho in the same summer?He knows then Manchester weather is a drag...
In all seriousness though I do believe we will be in for him this summer, especially if Hazard goes to Madrid. I think he would see Chelsea and United as highly viable option but a lot would depend on whether Chelsea or United secure CL football for next season.
How would you know, this team have never had a right winger since.. I don't even know. Valencia? Obertan? I'm sure Sancho can play a role closer to Lingard if needed, but just to have the option of switching our play to the right so Martial can move inside the box, or just closer to goal seems almost farfetched but a delicious thought.Could he potentially play as a central attacker that overlaps martial & Rashford playing as strikers?
Iv got no issues with Sancho coming here as a RW only - but a part of me has this feeling that as a pure winger at RW that our attack gets a tad lopsided since we would have these forwards playing in wide areas whilst having a more creative winger down the right. I'd rather see Sancho start centrally then drift in to free spaces to create whilst martial & Rashford tap in against the goalie non stop.
Others can offer their perspective on this, but for me, you want Sancho out wide for the simple reason that he draws players towards him, needs multiple bodies to try and contain (the one going to him being covered by someone trying to sweep, and in some instances another trying to run/press and railroad him) in which case, he's freeing up massive amounts of space for clever players in the middle to exploit.Could he potentially play as a central attacker that overlaps martial & Rashford playing as strikers?
In a more simple way - can he do what Lingard does as a false nine with all that movement that creates space for the forwards we have?
Can Sancho start centrally before drifting wide to the free spaces ie - ?
Starting from :
Martial - Sancho- Rashford
To
Sancho - Martial - Rashford
Or
Martial - Rashford - Sancho
depending on where the space opens up?
From what I have seen Sancho is a creator & is able to get on both sides of the pitch - providing an element of significant width to Dortmund's attack.
Rashford & Martial are much better forwards than wingers & their attack gets toned down the wider they play. If Sancho can start in the middle & drift to wide left or right - this should allow martial & Rashford to get in to deadly positions in front of goal by him taking their positions & creating chances for them from out wide.
This is something that Lingard does already & whilst not the most clinical; is a vital part of holding an element of fluidity in our front 3 that makes the opposition defence Always without failure face a front 3; never less whilst also making it compact, short & quick.

@do.ob statement in this regard rings a bell because Sancho's passing is not incisive in its own right, like Messi's was even before he became a playmaker. Sancho's passing is brilliant thus far because he switches the play at the exact right time to make a complex situation a very simple one where a cutback of his looks like something genial because of how he's beguiled so many players beforehand before putting a pass on a plate for a now-open team-mate.I think it's the literal opposite of that. His passing and finishing, while decent, aren't that special. What makes him special is his ability to face 1-3 defenders and consistently keep the ball while probing for a defender's miss-step or a dribbling opportunity.
It's an incredibly important quality when trying to break through against an organized defence after a methodical and slow paced build-up.
If he goes into the last year of his contract (6 months from negotiating a free transfer abroad) then his fee will drop massively not go up.Sancho is a rapidly ascending player who is under contract at Dortmund until 2022. He transfer fee could easily be twice what it is now by the summer of 2021. Unless forced by a transfer demand, I don't see Dortmund selling until 2021 when they should get a record fee. And it would be in Sancho's interest to be sold for a record fee because then he would be deemed worthy of record wages when he moves to his next club. United should pay Suso's release clause (40m euros) to cover RW until 2021 when they'll be one of the few clubs that can pay a record fee for Sancho.
After Euro 2020 he’ll move. His stock will be too high and he’ll deliver on the big stage. All the big clubs will be scrambling.If he goes into the last year of his contract (6 months from negotiating a free transfer abroad) then his fee will drop massively not go up.
I think for this summer 150 wouldn't be enough. They don't want and don't need to sell him now, he still has some years left on his contract. Would have to be an astrocious sum (200+?) to change their mind.Give them whatever it takes... guy would complete our attack and give us Martial-Rashford-Sancho for the next 6-7 years at least.
If we need 150m, give it to them. Signing Sancho and Koulibaly and nothing else for 250m would still make it a fantastic summer.
