He certainly did not. He looks good enough to be in the squad but he had a fair few anonymous minutes in his limited exposure to the senior side and needs to be developed properly. Not doing him any favors to pile a load of expectation on him right now. I expect there to be lots of minutes for the squad players anyway, got to think we may well bite the bullet and let Rashford get properly fit whether that be an operation or just a big reduction in minutes to allow his body to rehab and there is a fair chance Martial won't be here when the window closes.
Jadon Sancho | £72.9M fee agreed

Madness, but there's not much logical thinking in the transfer forum.
Agree, James is likely to be the odd man out.
Yeah centre midfield & CB are definitely our biggest issues outside of RW without any doubt
My only concern is can his form translate to the Premier League
Of course we could afford it. But it’s was not a risk worth taking in the middle of a pandemic at that price.
Nothing strange about it. There are no new developments to report. But reporters need to post something or other.
Rashford will be benched and Sancho will take the left wing with Amad on right.
Yes, I'm very confident in this.
No chance Rashford will be benched. He will be moved to CF, with Cavani not starting enough. Fans will be frustrated when Cavani provides more movement and form than Rashford, but can't get a start.
Or two years wages. Either way the waiting has worked out for once. Happy to finally be getting him!
Well sounds like Marcus is going to get the op straight after the Euros have finished
That’s a very elaborate guess
I hate this emoji … really hate it. I consider it the mark of the imbecile. Strangely though I can feel myself wanting to use it. Trying to resist but it’s no good … oh well … if you can’t beat them, join them ………..
James is a decent Squad player in fairness to him but I can see him going elsewhere in the next season or two.
Surely if he joins it'll be Sancho on the right, Rashford on the left and Cavani or Greenwood as the striker?
He's well connected to the likes of Honigstein and Sven Westerschulze, so I would say he knows alittle bit more than most think.
Exactly this.
Martial, Rashford depending who’s fit (if martial stays). On the left, Cavani, Greenwood centre, Sancho (Greenwood on the right when Sancho needs rested). James and Amad back ups for tired players.

LW - Rashford , James , Martial ( if he stays ) Sancho ( if needed)
RW - Sancho , Amad , Greenwood
CF- Greenwood , Cavani. Martial .
Thats alot of Depth. I dont think Martial will stay. Haaland Replacing Cavani next year would be unbelievable.
IF we couldn't get him would you take Lewandowski although can't realistically see Bayern letting him go
Very true.
Why wouldn't it? Different league, yes, but the guy is 21, he came through the academy in England, his football education and foundation was in England. He'll be fine
Yes, probably, to begin with.
However, Sancho looks very comfortable on either side/flank.
Which is another reason to buy him.
Rashford was overplayed last season I think we all know that it'll be great to be able to rotate them. I'm not sure Martial would put up with being part of all that though so he can be sold now if not.
I am so glad we managed to keep Cavani now he can rotate the central spot with Greenword and Rashford when needed. I'd be looking for Amad to be part of the wing rotatation as well he looks the real deal but better to bring him on bit by bit.
Completely agree. Hence why I love stories about Dortmund being unsure if United can finance a deal for Sancho. More of that, please.
All of this site's emojis are fantastic. Which contributes significantly to its quality. The one you used is no exception, you should know better than to badmouth it.I hate this emoji … really hate it. I consider it the mark of the imbecile.

Really hard to understand quite what point is being made here. Not everything has to be about Ole IN/OUT.
Can we get the bed sheet out yet?
Have you ever even been to Old Trafford? And as for a 'permanent newbie', who gives a feck. I post as I see it, not to generate silly points. This is an internet forum, it means nothing in the grand scheme of things, especially when so many on here are totally deluded.
Hopefully they will be somewhat fluid in the way they play. There was that one bit towards the end of England / Czech game where Rashford came off the left and then went ahead and combined well with Sancho on the right. Would like to see more of that so that we can create overloads which we don't do enough of IMO and also make it harder for defenses to keep track of players.
In general though yes, Rashford on the left and Sancho on the right. Rashford also has shown he combines really well with Shaw and that should not be disrupted and Martial also is better on the left who also combines well with Shaw.
On the right Sancho who likes to come in on the inside or just take players on will leave room for AWB or possibly Trippier. However, AWB really needs to now kick on with his delivery.
Exactly.
This is very exciting and you are not even listing Lingard...
The emoji looks like a dribbling eejit and subsequently makes anyone using it appear to be a dribbling eejit.
On this matter, I will succumb to being a dribbling eejit.
No the wording, using double negatives and odd structured wording, makes you read it twice before you figure out he’s saying absolutely nothing.
honestly based on form, marcus needs a kick up the back side and a threat to have his position taken from him.
HOWEVER....Sancho is coming in to play on the right with Rashford and James oh the left and Cavani or Greenwood playing the striker position.
Who knows what will happen with martial but it seems like he won't be sold which would give us finally some depth in the attack once you include the young lads like Amad and Elanga/Shoretire.
A front three of Rashford, Cavani/Greenwood and Sancho will be every bit as formidable as the Liverpool or City attacking players.
Looking at KDB I would say it's worth a shot!
He is going to add so much more to our creativity going forward and I feel Rashford will benefit from having a creator on the other side of the pitch who can also stretch the defence. Excited for him to come!
I'd still have Salah, Mane, Jota/Firmino over our front 3 despite their lesser season. However we're getting close.
