I agree that the culture is wrong at the club. I just think that it will be tough to weed out all the problems this coming summer.
Yeah my thought exactly. Easy to motivate yourself for a CL semi when everything is going swimmingly. But if your teams in shit form getting waheyd by a load of fans of a team you should be leathering then he’s the exact type of player to just check out instead of drag his team through it
People will watch that match and see these stats and then still say it was "typical Sancho"
Frankly, I think it has more to do with the time of year. He's always been good late in the season when he has had x number of games to run himself into form. Just wait for the fall when he comes back slightly overweight after having spend his vacation at McDonalds.

Another pattern is that those weren't explosive players but apparently more refined, 'classier' players that we always seem to struggle with integrating for whatever reason. I hate it when we hear the phrase 'United DNA' but there's an argument to be made that we prefer quick, aggressive wingers and strong number 10s. Character and physical presence count for a lot here.
Agree with the premise of this. He did play well tonight but I feel everyone’s been desperate and waiting to praise him at every opportunity to make this “story”. He’s actually been average overall since going back to Dortmund. Stats aren’t that great either and despite their CL run, they’re well off the pace domestically (may not even qualify for cl next year) so he’s hardly propelled them to high levels.
Yeah, maybe. Although Mikhitaryan flopping at Arsenal did kind of reinforce that the issue is the league, rather than the club. It’s not as though there aren’t a bunch of other attacking players who looked class in Germany but bang average in the PL. The strike rate from that league has always been fairly low.
We need to accept the fact that, due to the mistakes of the previous regime, we very rarely make a profit on any of our players, asides from Dan James.
well done for missing the pointYes I forgot.
It was only PSG.
Not Bournemouth.
Why not get rid of both?
I think their United stats are almost identical in appearances and goals at this point (and both are very bad!) but the argument has always been Antony will always work hard in a much more physically demanding league, though Sancho is the more gifted player technically.
That's true did TNT coverage remind anyone of that?
Sancho has put in plenty.

I just found it funny, brother. I don't want to fight
Sancho never went on strike, by the way
How did Dortmund play tonight? Who was dominating posession? Who played most direct? Sancho just needs to be manager better by a manager who can actually manage him. His talent has been obvious since he was 18. WC player, but immature and needs people following him up closely 24/7. ETH is not that guy.
I hope he does brilliant there and we can sell him in the summer without having to massively subsidise his contract. May the hype be even bigger.
You said neither side gave an inch. I think we did, hence the reply.
God tier Europa league level player
No, of course we didn't. That is not one and the same with optimising a player or meeting in the middle. We took a player and wanted him to be something he never was, which begs the question of why buy him at all or whether we did any due diligence before procurement.
