No one is coming in for Sancho after this summer. We’ve already put the hard yards in and unless we tell him we’re no longer interested, he’s ours. That situation would only happen if he found himself to be a free agent and that won’t happen. We’ll get him for a fee well before then.
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

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.

Despite the fact he’s said he wants to return to England? Both those teams can’t afford his wages without selling anyway.
So not back the manager then is what you’re saying?

We’ll pay £100m in the end, but it will be half now and the next half over 5 years. There’s no way we’re paying that money up front or without knowing the full implications of COVID on our finances yet.Victor Osimhen literally just cost an Italian club 80m+ euros in a covid market and some of you honestly think Dortmund will feel obliged to acccept the same sort of fee? I'm not the one who needs to get real here
Sancho is most likely going to cost at least 100m if he's going to leave this summer guaranteed
I dont see what your point is @TheNewEra but if you think Pogba and Maguire are value for money then I can't help you. Bruno , Martial and Wan Bissaka, yes thats good value for money. Not sure about Pogba and Maguire. Buying Maguire for 80 million is like paying John Stones for 50 million. Baffling transfers.

There will be the inevitable ' just pay the price. I don't care how much it costs.'
I think this could be done by this time next week, plenty of time to do more transfer business then too.
Hindsight is wonderful with Stones. He was young and had a lot of promise. Everton are a rich club and didn't have any need to sell. 50 was steep but made sense at the time.
I think it’s mostly you who can't be helped. Pogba has probably paid off his transfer fee in the first year purely from merch and other commercial benefits coming along with the #PogBack hysteria.
And Bruno's arrival probably won us the CL place, which can be estimated by someone who has the time and willingness to do it but I am certain his financial impact since coming has already surpassed the amount we've spent (including future payments and addons).
Maguire as captain, England international and main reason we are 3rd best team in the league for defense and with the most clean sheets in Europe, has also definitely been worth it. But hey, rage on, my dude!
I hope we get him. Like my father would say sometimes: "He is a good player".
So young, so much end product. Seems like no one else can buy him this summer. This is our chance to get him.

Managers aren't worth backing. It's why we've constantly been shit as we've been backing managers rather than backing the club itself.
He should be on Super Sunday
You are deluded mate if Pogback is all you can say about Pogba. We haven't won the premier league in a while and you are celebrating Pogback. As for Maguire, the only reason he doesn't get criticized like they criticize David De Gea is because he is English. I don't rate him simple as. He reminds me of John Stones and Joe Hart. Too much hype for nothing.
So, i've not been following this saga at all. Can anyone please sumarize: it's SanchON?
Agree mate. I don't understand the hype either.
Very profound.
He’s already sleeping in his United kit.
What’s chicken man saying?
To be fair a lot of signs were there with Stones, I thought the last season of his Everton career saw him making some crazy errors
Is.. Is your father Michael Owen?
Oh it’s on, it’s JadON
Yet he was spot on about what our net spend would be last summer despite taking ire and criticism from many of our supporters.
I think you don't get how financial cost is actually evaluated in the real world. Nobody cares if you rate any player or not. All that matters is whether they generate more money than they cost (both to buy and to keep at the club). And I used #PogBack to illustrate how Paul Pogba has paid off the amount spent on him almost immediately after the transfer.
The deal is finger lickin' good
Listen mate I am a chartered accountant and I know about finances. Value for money to Manchester United is not Pogba selling shirts. It is about Manchester United winning premier league, champions league , staying relevant and being noticed by sponsors. Falcao probably sold more shirts than Pogba, but that means nothing if Manchester United are not winning major honours. Stop being a silly fan boy and look at the big picture which is Manchester United Football Club. We have had David Beckham here who commercially can not be compared against any other footballer, but Fergie sold him because he put Manchester United and winning trophies first. Pogback# give me a break mate.
Dude, you're being ridiculous. Falcao selling more shirts than World Cup winner Pogba? For real? And comparing the Ed Woodward reign to Sir Alex Ferguson's time at the helm is also... naive, to put it nicely. I'm glad you are a chartered accountant but, honestly, it reads like you don't have a clue. Read the transcripts (or watch the presentations and webcasts) of the shareholder meetings in the past few years. It might be give you some clues on what moves the needle for Manchester United, the business.
For a claimed accountant you should really have a closer look at the numbers:
- Direct role in 47 goals in 92 PL appearances (up to June 2019)
- Involved in more goals in all competitions than any other Manchester United player (31 goals and 29 assists in 135 appearances, up to June 2019)
Now I am sure you will find some stats that portray your own viewpoint. But the reality is, he has been instrumental in our midfield and our attacks and without Pogba, we would have been significantly worse off.

Wow your dad once scored the winner in a Manchester Derby?!
Falcao has a huge presence in Latin America. However, Pogba probably makes more money from his 41 million followers on instagram alone 
Jersey sales/merchandise don't balance things out. I'll say this, I bought a game-issue style United Jersey for the 2017/18 season, and got it crested as Pogba. Now, even if we didn't get Pogba, I'm still probably buying a new jersey as the two previous jersey's I had, had left the club (Rooney and Scholes). If I remember correctly, I was down to Martial, Pogba and Lukaku. Players rarely increase jersey sales, they just tend to chance who you get a jersey of. I heard that was what happened with our purchases of Kagawa in Japan and Park in Korea.
Can anyone link a good video to understand the player he is? I have seen one or two Dortmund games, but that’s about it.
Cheers. Wow his style is very similar to Hazard; and love that he looks up and is aware of his teammates when passing/crossing.
If he adapts to the PL, we will have one tasty attack.
this statement in itself is part of the poker game.
tbh, i think the most realistic stage of this is fee structure. It feels like a toned down version of the pogba saga.
I think alot of fans are downplaying the potential influence Sancho could have here if he hits the ground running. If he performs he'll outshine all of Rashford and Martial (I won't include Greenwood as I guess we are still assessing the ceiling of his talent). We will have one of the best midfields in the league then a very potent front three. When is the last time we also had a consistent right side winger, not probably since prime Valencia was feeding Rooney his dinner for goals throughout the 2010 season.
To be fair a lot of us on here, myself included felt 50m for Stones was insane. He was a bad defender at Everton. He's still a bad defender and will likely always be a bad defender.
You haven't missed much mate....from page 1 to 350 the people supposedly in the know have talked a lot but said nothing!
Oh believe me this kid is a game changer. I’ve watched too much of him. Him with our existing forwards is frightening! God help premier league defences!
