If anything, it'd probably be Jota, with Mane on the bench.
Is Jadon Sancho really worth the 100 plus million fee?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Yeah, exactly. How many times did we not play great under Sir Alex but manage to sneak a win? Happened quite often and that was because we had players in the final third that could produce something from nothing.
None of the Dortmund fans on Reddit seem to think of the sources reporting on this so far have been reliable.
I don't see why Utd can't start negotiations with Dortmund for a deal this week now that both clubs have officially gotten CL football. Benefits all parties to sort everything out as early as possible
His first assist today surely isn't counted as an assist? It was just a simple layoff and a great striker by their scorer 
No matter the team, Reddit is the worst place for football opinions.
They probably still think he'll stay. Which he won't
The heading should be changed to “ Is Jardon Sancho really worth £78 million”.
I’m 100% sure we buy him in June for £70-78m.

I'll cry either way, either cry with tears of joy if we get him, or cry tears of misery if we don't get him
Dortmund would probably do Klopp a nice discount for Sancho as well. Don't think they'll drop Mane from the squad next season though, probably just keep them both whilst Sancho settles into the team.
Mane will stay hence I can't see Liverpool going for Sancho when they still have him and Salah. Jota is going nowhere too and has been very productive.
And Dortmund aren't giving Klopp a discount. They have a club to run not a charity for mental teeth
If we buy anyone it will be 1st September, and it’s not likely to be Sancho.
Remember Ed’s still around and even if he goes it will probably be Arnold, another Glazer stooge
It's a bit of a cynical myth that they'd do a "nice discount" for anyone TBH BVB are not the type of club to joke with prices if their price is set at £75-80m Liverpool coming in won't magically drop it to say £60m especially for a player of Sancho's caliber plus Liverpool are a sell to buy club when it comes to big money signings they'll need some spectacular good luck to find a buyer for Mane/Salah before the Euros
And realistically you can't expect to rotate Salah, Mane, Jota AND Sancho whilst keeping them all happy
They'll all get plenty of games on their way to the Premier League and Champions League double. Klopp might even put out a respectable side in the FA Cup to complete the treble.
Obvious white text is obvious
Oh damn they added covid to Football manager?
Yeah him returning to fitness is definitely the reason that Dortmund will get CL football in the end
That is very true but do feel like we need to rebuild the midfield and get Sancho & CB as well
Would be a colossal feck up if we fail to get him. No brainer signing. Natural on the right but also brilliant on the left. A much needed creator to balance out having a scorer like Rashford on the left (and helps AWB not needing to be pushing up so often).
I'd be delighted if he's equally as effective on the LW. Being able to rotate our wingers will be crucial next season, especially if we want to actually give Rashford a rest one day. Having Sancho as an option for both RW and LW will allow that, as well as prove much less of a roadblock for Greenwood's development than having Sancho at RW only.
Sancho is one of the best wingers in the world and is most certainly worth 100m. We need to pay whatever it costs to get him.
It's going to happen. They'll get top 4 with the points we handed to them last week, and then the above will happen.
Ed has a big enough ego that he probably wants to leave following a good transfer window. However, for him that probably means bringing back Ronaldo. Arnold is another Glazer stooge but Ed's biggest issue was that he thought he knew about football. We now hopefully have a system in place that means Arnold won't be able to have as much say as Ed did. You'd hope that Arnold looked on at public perception of Ed and learnt his mistakes.
That would be so embarrassing for us
What's embarrassing is these doom and gloom scenarios being made up.

Is it? I think it's more embarrassing scraping top 4 after claiming your team was one of the greatest premier league winning sides of all time.
What is this based on
This place has to create a negative narrative about literally everything, exhausting. He's not going to Liverpool
By all accounts Sancho has a preference to play with his mate Rashford and was all up for joining United last summer. You'd think that if he had any interest in joining Liverpool it would have been last summer when they had won the title after winning the CL the season before. They are a far less attarctive option this summer even if they will unfortunately be better next season than this.
United are second and in the EL final. From Sancho's perspective United offer good wages, his mate Rashford, contenders for the league next season - especially with the addition of a player like him.
Liverpool barely had two pennies to rub together last season and only got Jota because Wolves let him go for an initial 4 million quid payment. They've had a bad season and no stadium income for the best part of 12 months. They are not going to find 80 million quid down the back of John Henry's sofa.

“...can’t arrive the last week of August”, yet it’s precisely what we’ll do
Jota looks like he’ll be a brilliant signing for them long-term, which should help in the dippers prioritizing other areas in the squad. I think Chelsea will be the only club in England to rival us for Sancho and that spells bad news for us, as they move more swiftly in the market than we do.

That won't happen as you have to find a buyer for Mane first and i don't think Liverpool would ever spend that kind of money required to get Sancho. I believe Sancho wants to play alongside Rashford/Greenwood and the age demographic of the club suits him much better than Liverpool.
United buying Sancho makes perfect sense and you spend the money to bring him back to England where he starts alongside Rashford and Greenwood. Those 3 could be Englands front line and United's front line for the next decade.
Chelsea are after a ST and CB as far as I’ve heard, they have enough wide attackers as it is.
Also its been said by some sources that Sancho wants to go to Manchester and not London.
Think we do have a «free» run at him.
No matter what anyone says, some just want to constantly make out that we've no chance to get players and every other club is a better option. The idea of Chelsea being in for him and rivalling us is just idiotic given their current squad.
Where did you read that he prefers Manchester? I’m surprised, I thought he loves London.
Dont remember , but it was something about it last summer as well. Think he has alot of mates in Manchester from his time in City.

They'll try and make it complicated for clicks, but it is quite simply, just like last time.
