He's 18 years old with plenty of time to get better. I've been saying for a while, we could try to turn him into a LB. His defense was meh, while his attacking was impressive in the Championship so they turned him into a LW. But for a club with United's standards and with Martial already on the left wing, trying to convert him back to a LB could be worth it. I doubt any LB would be as good as he is going forward.ESPN has United paying 50m pounds for Ryan Sessegnon. According to Transfermarkt, Sessegnon has 1 goal and 2 assists in 270 minutes at RW vs Spurs, Cardiff, and Arsenal this season, his best production per match in any position in the EPL. Maybe Ole see's something there.
I didn't know this guy was left footed so maybe he could play RW for us whilst using that left foot to attack.ESPN has United paying 50m pounds for Ryan Sessegnon.

I know he is in crazy form right now - but I worry that there is a slight lack of finesse in the way he plays - things like his first touch, close control dribbling, short range passing, the way he shoots & places shots in to a corner.No brainer.... Nicholas Pepe from Lille is the answer to our RW with Greenwood and Chong as capable backups.
Strengths: Acceleration, First Touch, One touch passing (as opposed to hogging the ball which means he brings other players into play), Difficult to get the ball of him without fouling him. Can play as a No. 9 if need be which also means that we can sell Lukaku as well. He's tall which means he could pose an aerial threat and he can defend as well. And more importantly we fits in our counter attacking philosophy unlike Sanchez who prefers possession based football. Martial - Rashford - Pepe would be more deadly than Mane - Firmino - Salah especially if we had Pogba and Ndombele behind them. He has also scored some crackers from outside the box which also implies that he's no tap in merchant. His stats this season proves he's a creator and a goal scorer.... similar to Salah....I know he is in crazy form right now - but I worry that there is a slight lack of finesse in the way he plays - things like his first touch, close control dribbling, short range passing, the way he shoots & places shots in to a corner.
It's just something I worry about when I see him play - nevertheless looks like he can score a goal or 2.
What do you think his strengths & weaknesses are?

Both of which being dogshiit sources tbh.They're quoting the Daily Express..
That would be a pretty big investment just so that we could try to convert him to play in a different position.He's 18 years old with plenty of time to get better.

I don't know if that happens though seeing as we have Shaw.
Yep. From a financial standpoint, not sure how much it makes sense. We already have Martial on the left and have no one on the right. But he's largely been operating on the left for his entire career.That would be a pretty big investment just so that we could try to convert him to play in a different position.
Though he will be entering the last year of his contract this summer.

This.Has to be Sancho and it needs to be done this summer. Going into next season, I just don’t see any other club that can afford him that needs to buy a right winger. Plus if he stays another season at Dortmund the price is only going to become more unreasonable and if he has another season like this teams will be more inclined to upgrade what they have which means we’ll have competition for him which definitely isn’t ideal.
Next summer yes. Unless we offer £100m BVB won't even bother replying.Sancho is the dream signing
Laughed with glee during that. Good times.Tweet

Probably not the best night to size him up, in all fairness.Looking forward to seeing how Sancho does tonight at Wembley.
Not sure about Son leaving Spurs as Levy is known to be a tough negotiator and if Son were to leave, I personally think Levy would try his hardest to not him leave for a direct rival mate.Is there a chance for Son to leaving a Spurs?
He is the most underrated player at the moment, for me better then Mane, Mahrez and Sane.
Sancho is a pure talent but we need players in their prime for titles and to be contenders in CL.
Too soonWe have Chong who will be our winger next season.
I would take him here, no doubt. He made a big jump this season, following in his fathers footsteps it seems.What do you guys think of Federico Chiesa from Fiorentina? Looks like a real prospect to me and could solve our problems in that Position for about 10 years.
He will never be good enough for a team like United. Had some bad luck with injuries tbf but he definitely lacks the talent anyway.Remember Breel Embolo?? How is he doing at Schalke?
We've got to set least try for Sancho, with a bid in the range of 70-80 million.There are plenty of much cheaper options outside of Sancho, and we need someone now. Seems some will be disappointed when it wont be Sancho we will buy.
Chiesa or Pepe for me. Chiesa i have seen more than enough, lad is perfect for us. Offers something different to Martial, Lingard et al. on the wing
Pure fantasy.We've got to set least try for Sancho, with a bid in the range of 70-80 million.
The key would be to move fast though. If we find him unaatainable, then it makes sense go for plan b or c.
I'd say the talent was there, but his attitude hasn't been good enough since he joined Schalke and coupled with the injuries, he won't be as good as he could have been.He will never be good enough for a team like United. Had some bad luck with injuries tbf but he definitely lacks the talent anyway.
Chong is not Sancho level. We shouldnt limit ourselves from signing top talents because we have others coming through. If they are good enough then they will create the opportunity for themselves.We have Chong who will be our winger next season.
Chiesa for me, I reckon 50m gbp gets him and he’s aggressive, as well as versatile across the front 3. Could play lingards role as well.There are plenty of much cheaper options outside of Sancho, and we need someone now. Seems some will be disappointed when it wont be Sancho we will buy.
