Too passive all season for me. It's not easy for anyone to come into a side like this and play well but i'm disappointed by the lack of fight in his game.

I'm sure under a new manager he'll come good.

Always ends up having to dribble the same guy twice because of his lack of pace.

It's alarming sometimes how he wants so much time on the ball. He always gets hounded by the opposition and doesn't have the acceleration or physique to get round them.

Expect he'd improve massively with a better LWB to take away some of the pressure
He would and would also benefit from a more mobile striker than Ronaldo. However, it was stupid to overpay for a slow playmaking winger when we have Bruno. Who will do the running in this team of 10 players without pace?

Don't know what's more annoying his passing or the excuses made for his shite passes.

73m for a younger version of Mata? Just please stop overpaying for mediocre English players such as Sancho, Maguire and AWB.

I cannot believe how bad our scouts are. We need a massive clearout of players, scouts and coaches. Unfortunately we are stuck with the Glazers.
He was anything but "mediocre" in the Bundesliga.
He had world class numbers for several seasons.

Has the collective united fan base ever gotten a signing more wrong than this..the hype prior to signing for 2 straight years was unreal
Count me out mate. I was shouting from the rooftop to never sign him. He has some qualities but never gonna be the solution for our wings. No physicality, no pace , no wickedness about him. We needed a rapid tricky winger with good decision making. Should have thrown that kind of money at someone like Coman, Raphinha who can take on their man.

Really bad today
You wanted him to sign for us badly. Full of praises. Honestly I think you are one of the most sensible posters here on the caf and a fellow countryman to boot. Really rate your opinions. Rarely ever disagree with them in general. How come you didn’t see that he lacks the explosivity, pace and physical attributes overall to succeed here ? Premier league doesn’t offer the spaces like in bundesliga. Not saying he is a bad player or anything like that. He is a good player but that’s it. He never takes on his man. Doesn’t commit himself. Doesn’t have the acceleration or the trickery to go past the defenders. I was so baffled when caf collectively declared him a generational talent that gonna rip up the pl defences. A player like Raphinha or Antony would be 10 times better for us to be honest. Sancho can be useful in a certain system where the team is not dependent on the wingers to be creative. He is always gonna be up and down due to his lack of certain qualities needed on the wings.

He has talent but that means feck all without the right mentality and application. He needs a consistent productive season next year because this year was a C at best. Won't write him off as a poor signing yet but he has had a poor season.

Zero physicality or desire to beat his man. Whole world knows he cuts back on his right instead of beating the man. Another pointless buy

Safe to say Martials worst season is better than his first season here. If he doesn’t bring something different next season it’s safe to say he’s a waste of money. I think a CAM role would suit him more than the wing.

Have said it before, he is like a slightly more mobile mata on the wings. Not his fault but in the premier league you have to have abit of pace in you along with the technique. Salah , mane, Saka, martinelli, Sterling etc all have the pace. Show me an amazing winger in the league with mediocre acceleration and mediocre pace. This isn’t bundesliga or serie A where you gonna get plenty of open spaces to run into. I’m not surprised neither should any one of you lot but as usual most of the posters here tend to be clueless. They see a player ripping it up in an average league and think he is gonna do the same without taking into account the characteristics and qualities of the player whether the same attributes would deliver the same results. He is gonna be up and down in the premier league in his performances due to his lack of pace and physical attributes. Never wanted him, always wanted someone like Coman.
Please teach us great one.

I'd like to see Alvaro Fernandez given a go now that Top 4 is out of reach.

He doesn't have Hakimi pace - who does - but he seems like a much better fit alongside Sancho than anything else we have. He's the most physically ready of our young players: has boundless stamina, makes forward runs all day, offers really intelligent two-footed combination play. Just seems closer to a 'partner' for Sancho than any other full-back we have in the squad...especially with Shaw being out.

So were Kagawa and Mkhi. I don't know why everyone is up in arms about his performances. Even at dortmund you could tell he wasn't the fastest and his close control wasn't world class by any means and he beats his men thanks to quick one to passes instead of beating them for skill or pace. I don't know what everyone was watching when they were crucifying the club for not paying the 120m Dortmund were demanding for him.

So he is yet another system player.

No words for him really. Is he another one too focused on image and lifestyle? I suspect so. Has he got the balls for the fight? I suspect not.

He’s already not favoured by Southgate so probably won’t make the WC squad at this rate. Says a lot about our recruitment department when a guy costing as much as he did can’t even get called up by his country.

I wouldn't say they are mediocre but I would happily not sign English players going forwards. Unearth some African talent, south american or something. these dudes rinse our transfer kitty for minimal return

He did. This cannot be denied but whenever people in England saw him play he never passed his auditions

Sort of analysis you’d expect from someone’s dad at the pub. It’s got nothing to do with lifestyle or balls, he’s simply not that good.

Was so poor today along with Rashford. I think Sancho will look better under Ten Hag but on the left. Raphinha is a must for the right wing, along with 3 or 4 other starters.

The transfer fee dropped (still to high) so I can see why we thought it was a better deal but why on earth did we pay him 350k per week ?

I can't remember if other clubs or Dortmund were offering this sort of wages - it's stuffed us again trying to motivate a player when he's made for life and nobody will pay this salary package. He's not an elite player who gets picked for the national team every match - crazy !

If I had a dollar for every time I have heard that argument. So what is stopping him from reproducing those numbers in the PL? He might be able to do it if we play 3 pacy players up front whom he can feed as well as more quality from our fullbacks. Players we don't have except for Rashford who is out of form. And where does that place Bruno?

You cannot field 3 playmakers without pace and then be surprised if your attacking play is slow and easy to defend against. Who will do the running in this team? It ain't gonna be Pogba, Sancho, Ronaldo or Bruno as we saw today.

I would have preferred a pacier winger than Sancho, maybe Raphinha who can play RW, and Bruno to be our playmaker. Why buy Sancho and play him in a system which does not bring the best out of him?

Sancho seems fairly low profile so I don’t think it’s down to off field issues. It’s more the case that he lacks that x factor that you would look for in such an expensive signing.

A truly woeful signing.
Needs to be shipped out before it's too late. Cut your losses. Sell to Bundesliga where his reputation is still intact. Maybe Bayern can be duped into taking him off your hands. Never worth 70, 80 millions but you might be able to sell him to them for 40m, and then get a proper replacement like Antony for the money. Worth a try, anyway, but quickly.

When his team mates start supporting him. Tell me which player in world football is asked to take on two men minimum when receiving the ball and succeeds everytime? None. Yet that's what we ask over Sancho.
I can see you're fast approaching Mad Winger territory here. I should step away.

No, they weren't.

But trust me, I was just as unhappy that he signed for United as you are now. Guy would be a world beater in a sophisticated team. Real waste of talent. But he has only himself to blame, it's not as if one could not have seen this coming. There were more than enough red flags

Mad laying any blame at this lads door. Look at the environment he's come into.
See, I've never bought into that. People used to say that about Pogba also.

When he is on the pitch, trying to dribble (and failing time, and time again), and it's just him, the football, and the opposition players, has it is the environment at blame?

Brilliant player. It's difficult for him to shine in this team as he is a player who thrives in a clear and coherent system. However, he still shows glimpses of what we can look forward to if we ever sort ourselves out.

When a player is in an environment that kicks the shit out of your confidence then everything is a lot harder than what it should be. I'd be willing to bet that in a proper system players like Sancho would shine. Much too soon to write him off.

Can we open a lawsuit against Dortmund for constantly selling us fraudulent items?

Still yet to show he’s half the player that Martial and Rashford have been for United in recent seasons. Mkihtaryan and Kagawa were comfortably better in their first seasons. Alexis Sanchez levels of garbage right now.
