if Mata 2010-2012 was stronger and faster, i doubt Chelsea would've sold him to us, back then Mata was so so good, he still has the same technical qualities just he is done physically.

Don't see the Mata comparison. For me, he's a bit like Neymar.

A whole lot of nothing in that update. Enjoy the euros because this is definitely not being agreed on before it starts.
Don't understand the Reid comparison. For me he is a bit like Busquets.
If United tries that (again) I could well see them missing Dortmund's deadline for the deal and therefore the transfer failing like it did last year.
Urgh. Positive news. FFS.
Don't. The CAF will say is just good PR from United to save face when they eventually don't sign him!
yeah I agree. I think we should have just bought him last year. We would have challenged. in a typical season the likes of Barca Real Chelsea PSG would have just went and got it done. It feels like the glazer family majorly slow us down on any deal over 50 million looking to lower the price and work very slowly to frustrate and grind down the selling club. It’s gruelling and not very effective but there you go. That’s our owners for you. The only way we will improve our efficiently and reputation in the market is if we actually start working on first team deals during the season because the glazers are always going to hold the purse strings and this is the pace they negotiate at…

Exactly the same thing was said last week, doesn't seem like things have moved on at all
I suspect buying a multimillion pound player may be like buying a house, lots of lawyers, solicitors involved. Not as easy as buying off Amazon.
Don't understand the Busquets comparison. For me he is a bit like Gretzky
It's mad how the same 3/4 pieces of info have been in circulation for 12/18 months now, and people are still biting. I'll hold my hands up, I was one of them last summer. But after that, there is no chance in hell I'm getting excited by/engaging in any positive new stories until he's holding a Utd shirt.
This has got us being hijacked last minute written all over it. Chelsea are clearly wanting to make waves in the window this season, and whether that's by inflating the Sancho price by spending crazy money on Haaland, or going for Sancho himself, I can just see us being caught napping. We'd totally deserve to be too - compared to our rivals, the speed at which we operate in the market is pathetic.
City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Leicester... they're all so much more nimble than we are.
Eh? since when did Mourinho care for effort. It was all about height
I think anybody with half a brain could see Mata worked very hard for us on the wings, he never stopped chasing up and down.
Don't see the Gretsky comparison. For me, he's a bit like Drogba
Don't see the Drogba comparison. For me, he's a bit like Heskey.
Don't see the Lord Palmerston comparison. For me, he's a bit like Pitt the Elder
Don't see the Heskey comparison. For me, he's a bit like Luke Chadwick
For me he’s a bit like De Gea. Not capable of saving penalties.
Don’t see the Chadwick comparison. For me, he’s a bit like Jason Sancho.
For me, he is a cross between Sterling and Hazard.
I'd expect nothing to happen with this until towards the end of the window. Dortmund apparently need to sell one of their stars as they are strapped for cash. So Utd will wait until the end of the window and make an offer and try to force dortmund into a corner and accept it.
Lets face it who else would be in for him this summer? No-one else really, there really isnt much money available for clubs to spend. Its Tuchel's first window so normally Chelsea allow the manager to sign a player or two that he asks for specifically and he wants a striker and has an abundance of wide players already.
So i think it will be last week of the window if it happens at all.

Oh come on , cut this crap. How many players have been signed by our rivals ? Liverpool has been trying to sign Konate for ages now , who had a release clause. It's still not confirmed.
Leicester had matched Soumaré valuation back in March. Confirmation is still pending.
Chelsea tried for almost 2 months to sign Havertz last summer.
Bottom line - things aren't as easy as you think.
I'd be weary of being complacent and waiting until the 11th hour to seal it.
Yes Chelsea probably aren't interested, but if the rumours in their interest for Haaland are to be believed, then them signing him would make signing Sancho impossible this summer as its unlikely Dortmund would let both players go in one window. Also, if the Scouse get rid of one of Salah or Mane, then its not impossible for them to try and hijack the Sancho deal either.
We will agree a fee before Saturday. I feel something in my waters.
Lord Palmerston!!
It was confirmed, what, 2 weeks ago?
Personally not worried by liverpool, they have a salary ceiling (Salah on 200k) which is nowhere near what Sancho has reported asked for cica 300k a week.
Unless Chelsea actually pay up the £150mil that Dortmund want, which i dont see happening when you can get him for £70mil next summer.
Anyway i might be wrong, but i might be right.
Supposedly, he is on close to what Liverpool's salary ceiling already is too. Reports were he is on around £190k p/w.
I don’t want to see another Sancho related tweet until we’ve actually placed a bid. It’s just the same old shite rehashed over and over again for the last 18 months, “Personal terms agreed” “no official bid” “belief in both camps a deal can be done” it’s mind numbing at this point. 
Big day todayI don’t want to see another Sancho related tweet until we’ve actually placed a bid. It’s just the same old shite rehashed over and over again, “Personal terms agreed” “no official bid” “belief in both camps a deal can be done” it’s mind numbing at this point.

Ridiculous isn't it. No other club has these stories pumped out, but it's our fault for buying into them.
How the feck is the "belief a deal can be done" newsworthy or verifiable. It's a complete non-headline. Any deal "could" be done if a team spent mad amounts on any player. They're just stating market facts dressed up as groundbreaking insight.
If hes gonna move he will want a payrise, big difference between 200k and 300k especially after tax.
Maybe you should stay out of the transfer forum? Like, for your own health and sanity.
All things considered, he cannot be as much as a bust as Real Madrid's Hazard.
Aye it does your head in, but it’s Utd and they know anything Utd related gets the clicks even if it’s the same old info worded slightly differently to appear like a new update. It must be great working as a sports “journalist” easiest job ever with your main source being Twitter.
The Athletic just did a round up piece of every exciting player at the Euros and in the section about Jadon Sancho it mentions that he's expected to join United this summer. Its not meant as news or a leak. Its just that some Utd Twitter feed then repackaged that one sentence as though it were a story to get some retweets.
Don't get the Jason Sancho comparison. For me, he's a bit like Jadon Sancho.
