He also prefers Pedro and Willian ahead of playing CHO out of position on the right.

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.

Compare that to other teams, and we come out favourably. Doesn't matter if the shitter is marble and the faucets gold if you are not given a go.
Sancho realised this, and look at him now. Compare his trajectory to that of Foden and Hudson-Odoi as an example.

How is Sancho one of ours?
As for Gomes... we hear a lot but we're not seeing him
He means Sancho realized he would get very little game time at City and left for Dortmund.
Rashford is the only evidence
McTominay started playing at age 20-21 (for good reason). Lingard went out on loan. Gomes hasn't really played. He's the worst example because Hudson Odoi and Foden are his age and they're playing far more. Gomes would kill for even 1/10 of their playing time.
If CHO leaves it's for game time. Is he getting in ahead or Martial on the left? Is he really going to sign up to play out of position?
CHO is staying at Chelsea. The only way they're gonna let him go is him running down his contract, otherwise he's stuck at Stamford Bridge.
With the transfer ban coming up for chelsea, hazard's rumor exist to Madrid, and the aging of pedro and willian, my guess is he will stay. I don't see there are any other big clubs that can offer him more 1st team chance than Chelsea atm.
He ain’t signing for us, don’t worry.
I agree. Seems odd to see so many on here talking about him as a realistic target though.
This won't be popular but we need a left winger like him, we have many options right now but they don't offer movement or intensity. Starting to lose patience with Martial, we need another option to compete and Alexis isn't it.
He'd be one of many much needed signings.

Agree
I'm baffled by it. Not sure what its even based on either. Then the same people will be disappointed/angry when it doesn't happen, even though it was always very very unlikely.
He has an explosive time of reaction like Sterling. I bet he will find his best place in the pitch soon and will bang goals and assists.
Agreeed 100%
Yeah I don't know why people feel this is so probable. He's either staying at Chelsea or going abroad. Probably Chelsea. Either way you're not giving us one of the biggest talents you have.
I really don't feel we do. Obviously the more the merrier. I have no doubt he'll get twice the skepticism Martial gets if he plays in a dynsfunctional team as Martial has over the years. IMO Martial is better (and older of course) and this kid would not displace him. We need someone on the right far more urgently.
I'm very much Martial FC but I agree, stupidly talented forward but doesn't seem to be the most hardworking or the brightest.
Is CHO's best position LW then? I've seen him a fair few times this season and he switches between the two but he looks more effective on the right from what I've seen. The way he drops his shoulder and whips in a cross (like he did for Giroud and in one of your cup games earlier in the season) reminds me of when we had Nani on the right who was arguably the last genuine right winger we had.
We need to be in for him. Martial is not consistent enough right now to get a free run at LW with no competition. If we sign CHO, it would a healthy battle between them for that spot. It will also put an end to Rashford on the wing. I would actually prefer Martial to play forward because that's where he's the deadliest.
Completely agree. We need a proper winger and Martial simply isn't one.
His best position is as a left sided inside forward. I'd say he comfortably better on the left but can be an effective right winger due to his crossing ability as you've seen. I think he's got a number of assists this season from crosses from the right wing, 2 against Forest in the cup and the one in PL the other night off the top of my head. He's much more comfortable dribbling on the left and is a much bigger goal scoring threat from that side.
It's based on: the player wanting to leave Chelsea, rumours linking us, Chelsea being angered by Bayerns approach / arrogance, our need for proper wide players, our status as a club that gives youth a chance, Chelsea not showing bitterness towards us generally (sold us Mata and Matic), the cost involved isn't high so we could blow Bayern away if we wanted.
Not that ridiculous really. I don't think it will happen but stranger things have.
No way they'll sell him to us
Fair enough. To be honest I miss the days where we had wingers who would beat a full back and whip a cross in from the byline which is why I would like CHO as an option for the right hand side. We've not really had that sort of outlet since the Nani/Valencia wing days. Mata, Lingard, Martial, Rashford, Mkhitaryan etc, the list goes on - all good players but want to cut inside with the ball. That's fine if it is only on one side but I feel we need some genuine width.
That's the FBs job now
If he pushes for a move they can't stop him. However, I'd imagine Hazard will be gone before his contract is up so he'll have a position. Then again you wouldn't know with Sari.
It's not really. Some times prefer to play like that with inside forwards, but it doesn't work in every situation.
City have had great success with playing proper wingers who keep the width, and it's easier to break a deep lying defence like that.
You don't need 2 wide wingers but 1 to keep the width while the other cuts inside is the best option IMO. Think back to how Nani / Valencia played, we had the best of both worlds.
I would swap Martial for him any day.
He's got "it" for sure.

CHO______ Martial/Rashford______Sancho
After Ed's brief to the press I am inclined to agree. Its like the Moyes era when he couldnt shut his mouth about getting Fabregas and Bale and somehow ended up with Fellaini.
We offered Spurs a much higher fee than what Madrid did for Bale. Fabregas was also close to joining us according to David Moyes.
We ended up with Fellaini because Moyes wanted him. It was Moyes's dithering that cost us that season. Getting rid of SAF's back room staff was the issue there.
He looks like a very promising player but he’s not ready at all. He has no history to prove whether he can improve us next season, I thought we want that RW to be filled in so we can challenge the league, I expect a better option than this guy. If we are signing him as a develop player & backup for next season, I would rather give Greenwood or other our youth players chance. We need to spend money wisely, if our first XI is already so good i have no issue signing this guy but we don’t need this type of player right now.
He's a left winger not a right winger. He is not going anywhere to be "a develop or backup player" and he's not going to Man United at all anyway so you don't have to worry.
Can we take Hazard instead then so you can play this guy in his best position?
I somehow doubt Eden would be interested, what with Zidane constantly tapping him up!
IMO, if we got Hudson-Odoi, it would be to play LW, to which he is more suited. We’d still need a RW.
He’d improve our left side.
We need a LW & a RW, and to stop playing players out of position.
I think, we’re still quite a way off, challenging for the title.
Money talk nowadays
