It was nice of Southgate to help us keep the price down to £73m.
£73m over 5 years of installments. Fixed fee with no add ons.
Pretty unbelievable deal really and doesn't have any major impact on our transfer budget. The club gets alot of stick but that's a cracking investment and a very United style signing.
Exciting stuff.

Watzke in the press conference that's just happened:
- "A basic agreement has been reached, but a lot of details still have to be ironed out and this is not a completely done deal yet."
- "It was the explicit wish of the player to move to United, and he has worked very diligently for us in the last 4 years. It always makes a difference if it is a player like this who has done so much for the club who approaches you with such a request."
Quadruple and Sancho gets the Ballon
so many faces to rub this in.Guess he just made do with joining us because Chelsea, Liverpool, Villa and Arsenal didn't show much interest. Sad for the lad, but we're an alright team.

Wonder if this means we can afford to give Rashford an extended break and arrange for his operations to fix his niggling injuries. Would love to see us trial a front three of Sancho - Cavani - Greenwood for a period.
Bruno?
Absolutely delightful that even Dortmund feel like they've been robbed.
I can see him start for us on the left at the start of the season.
@Pexbo all the gems are in old thread, how Sancho will cost much more than 120 million this season after he shows his class in Euros and all that.

That supposed to say we are??
agreedTop 5 European league. He’s only been in one of those since 2020! Not doing too bad, though.
26 goals and 19 assists.
Somehow this sentence doesn't sound right
Surely it must be "and " instead of "but".
Where are the people that kicked off last summer and said he would cost more this summer? *Homer Simpson gif
Is this confirmed?
That's probably the intended meaning. These guys are speaking their second or third language in most cases.
I thought that first when I read it as though he was complaining about the fee.
But I think he's more saying "we are not happy about receiving a lot of money, rather we are sad that the player is leaving and would've preferred to keep him over any money".
I think usual mistranslation. I think he meant "It's not about money but the player"
Right, but do they really consider this a lot of money compared to last year demands?
They can do one, their entire business model is centred around prizing away young talents from clubs all over Europe on the cheap and selling them on at an obscene profit.
I think it’s just a poorly translated sentence to be honest and meant to read/mean something like, “We aren’t happy to sell the player/we don’t need the money etc. and sad that he’s leaving us” rather than Dortmund thinking they are being fleeced.
If they felt that, the deal wouldn’t have been agreed. All parties can be satisfied, I reckon.
It's also great that by all accounts Sancho really wanted to become a Manchester United player.
I hope he doesn't get too wound up in games vs City, the same way Rooney did with Everton.
I can see what you mean. It'll be interesting to follow as an outsider. I'm obviously not happy you've just landed one of the best young talents in world football, but now that's it's been confirmed, it's going to be exciting to watch him every week in this league.
I think it should be “we are happy with the money but sad that he’s leaving”. Would be very weird if they are not happy with a deal they just made and said so publicly.
That's not what they said.
He was only at City a couple of years and I doubt their fans even remember him. Would be a very small time grudge from both parties
Alright.
I reckon it means no amount of money what have made them happy and they would have preferred keeping Sancho
Yeah OK, in a literal sense you are correct of course.
It has been 13 years since we last signed a right-winger. Signing right wingers is not the United Way!
Amad?
