No. Usually the car dealer / seller either doesn’t need to replace the car or he already has one / is planning to buy one.
Either United have a secret deal with Dortmund where Dortmund have told United that they will still sell - which considering they were using intermediaries seems rather unrealistic that both clubs have such a huge respect for each other that Dortmund have agreed to not let the German media know about it ...
Or United are just assuming Dortmund will sell last minute without Dortmund’s reassurance
By now I believe United know they are not getting him and as they have also not signed anyone else they have still not denied their pursuit. This way they will have a ready made excuse for not signing any right winger. Either that or we are working on Sarr/Brooks
Surely, we cannot still say he is main priority without any knowledge whether they will sell or not? You are risking alot for that.
If United are assuming, then the board is more incompetent than I thought.
The problem with excuses is that nothing will fly, surely us fans are not that naive. Yes covid but Arsenal, Spurs, Everton have shown it is no excuse.
Even if it is, Liverpool have shown there is other ways, they got rid of Hoever, Lovren for £20m combined fee.
Hoever has played less than 5 games, we cannot even get £12m for an experienced Smalling.
Covid is no exucse for incompetence IMO.
If they have spent this long in getting Sancho, they better get him.
