Great to see two friends going on holiday together and soon to be two club teammates.

Exactly what we need friendships in the camp.

Meanwhile, Lingard is reportedly spending his holidays at Centre Parcs with Jay Spearing. :(

Had enough of his ‘antics’, dancing and rapping on a plane. Circus.

Sure I am not the only one who sees Sancho's future in the middle of the park right? No.10 role, playing off a striker (Cavani) and spreading play to two wide goal threats (Rashford/Greenwood). Obviously, Bruno is going to play that position rn but I could see the shift happening down the road. Maybe even a double false 9 formation that City, Barca and Atlet (no a lesser extent) played last season with once Cavani leaves? Could see Rashford and Greenwood flourishing in a formation like that.

Weird that the deal isn’t announced yet he’s gone on holiday. Clearly everything is done including the signing of contract. Could we be waiting for Varane too ?

I feel Sancho can play anywhere in attack except as a pure striker.

I agree to an extent. He is similar in profile to Hazard, in that he is not a natural winger. He is something like a 10, but can also play from the left. But he is not a player, at the highest level, to go on the outside or make runs in behind off the ball. For a right footed right winger, I feel the ability to go outside and make runs in behind are central to top effectiveness.

It’s a Louis Vuitton pouch, to go withhis LV bucket hat. And around his neck is probably about £200k worth of diamonds.

Has he signed yet?

He had his medical days ago.

I'm guessing United waiting for Adidas and Team Viewer to send them some cash still via paypal

It doesn't look as though he'll get 7, as the new kit is for sale with Cavani retaining that.
Always subject to change, but i heard somewhere he will have a 7 in it, so would likely be 17, 27,37 etc

You're right - it definitely could change. It just seems like a pointless exercise...put the new kit on sale, sell a bunch of Cavani shirts with the 7 on them, and then announce Sancho shortly after, giving him the 7. I wouldn't put it past them, but I suspect Sancho will make due with a different number for one season.

No shame. Sancho should be practicing penalties and Rashford should be in a hospital.
feck time offs.. they get paid enough to not take time off.
