Wages. He can pretty much dictate what he wants to earn. No way Bayern pays him more than what Neuer and Lewandowski are on, so that rules us out. Not to mention Raiola's cut.
Sancho alone will not provide those. Even if we had him this season, our title challenge wouldn’t have lasted. We need a proper CB and DM to have any chance at a title challenge.
Like Sane bad, or...?
I would want to see Sancho on the left and Greenwood on the right. Cavani in the middle, with Rashford coming off the bench.
Ouch...
For what it's worth, I always had an inkling that Sané would suck for us.
To clarify: I don't even think Sancho will be horrible for you, but after what happened with Kagawa and Mkhi the hate threads will pop up fast if he dares to not play amazing football from the get go.
Just wait, in a year to somehow this fee be reported at 90 million for anyone who wants to attack Solskjaers transfer business 
Tbf most Dortmund fans here have given their take on this and most of them agree that Sancho should be nothing like Kagawa or Mkhitarian based on performances. The latter were simply system players that thrived in the Dortmund setup. Most even claimed that Mkhi was a confidence player and you know how that goes when you're managed by Jose. He couldn't do it at Arsenal as well so maybe he just wasn't that good at all to begin with.Ouch...

Looking forward to seeing who Dortmund get to replace him because they usually end up buying another talent for peanuts who turns out to be just as good as the replacement
True, but the Caf is a fickle beast. That's why most of us non United people are here, I guess.
Fee agreed so one step from the official announcement, I wonder if we'll mail Sancho a shirt to hold up in the England camp.

That is true, but if you look at it from a more positive side we also have:
- OGS who he is very close to (OGS' job wasn't remotely safe when we tried to sign him the January he went to Dortmund) and they are in regular contact as per reports in Norwegian media
- OGS is also close with his father (they both played together for the NT and spoke a lot together regarding signing Haaland for Molde and develop him from there)
- An existing relationship with Raiola, even if it means silently accepting his public outbursts
- The money to pay a release clause
- The budget to match most if not all clubs on salary
- The biggest club in his dream league (born in England and for most Norwegians see the Premier League as the pinnacle of league football)
- A young and highly talented squad which will now include his best buddy and main assister in Dortmund
A big reason for the lack of noise around Haaland to United this summer is probably because OGS and the club knows his situation very well directly and with Cavani signing for one more season the immediate need for a top striker isn't that pressuring. Personally I still see City as the biggest rivals to his signature so won't have high hopes for signing him next summer unless City end up going for Kane this summer.
Kagawa wasn’t even that bad. Some good signs at the end of his first season. Mostly unlucky we signed RVP then and his position was no longer used in the team.
Supposedly BVB are holding a press conference right now and announcing the deal?
Yes xSupposedly BVB are holding a press conference right now and announcing the deal?
Why are you so upset that one of your rivals sold one of their best players?
Kagawa received a lot of love from the fans. Mkhi always felt alienated and having Raiola by his side didn’t really help his image. Also he wasn’t a youngster when he joined, he was 27 years old and supposed to be in his prime.Ouch...

Sancho is English, younger, better, and has a good image. It won’t be the same.
Dortmund have just officially announced it to their shareholders - so this is DONE DEALIO
Real?
"well done Manchester United, you've won, I hope you enjoy Jadon Sancho and use him to get some lessons in grace and decorum because you've got all the grace of a reversing dump truck with no tyres"Supposedly BVB are holding a press conference right now and announcing the deal?
So what will be our best line-up for the front six going forward? There are certainly lots of different opportunities:
For weaker / deeper-playing teams it could be:
McT/Fred - Pogba
Greenwood - Fernandes - Sancho
Cavani
For better teams and more open games we could go:
Fred - McT
Sancho - Fernandes - Pogba
Rashford
Will be interesting to see what Ole comes up with!

Think it will be Rashford on the left, Greenwood middle and Sancho right, but since all of them can play multiple positions it won't be fixed formation but interchanging one.
Cavani is great role model for Mason and from their interaction it seems they really like each other with Mason learning from Edison so can see Greenwood being first substitute for both Sancho and Cavani.
Also, depending on injuries, rest, suspensions etc. we can play them anywhere across forward line- it's really nice 'problem' for Ole!
Fixed fee of €85m confirmed. No addons.
Kagawa got a bad rap but he was a quality player, I just don't know why we signed him if we weren't willing to adapt our tactics to the way he played, he was pretty much a number 10, yet we shunted him to play winger majority of the time and was not the kind of winger United typically deployed under Sir Alex, all in all it was a bit of a weird transfer
BVB confirm deal
ITS DONE!!! DONE DEALIO!!!

It was 4 years ago, they signed him in 2017 and this is 2021.
5 years ago was the summer we signed Pogba.
How confirmed is this?
Apparently we’re paying BVB just under £15m per year over five seasons (length of his contract). No addons.
That’s an incredible deal if true.

It is all but official, and official confirmation could happen any moment now.
Awesome, they confirmed fee is 85 million euros and didn't say anything about the add ons. So we signed him for 73 million pounds, fantastic deal
85 million euros and no addons as stated in the press statement. LETS GOOOOOO
Cry more.
Our negotiators actually did a good job!
it's official, BVB have release the details of the agreement at the ongoing press conference, see above.
Team should be...
---------------Henderson---------------
AWB--Lindelof--Maguire--Shaw
-------Pogba----------Fred-------
Sancho---Fernandes---Rashford
-----------------Cavani-----------------
Need that CB to upgrade on Lindelof though
As far as I remember, he played mostly as an attacking midfielder in his first season with occasional wide appearances. He had a bad injury in his first season too, where he lost a few months.
But when RVP came in that position was essentially gone with Rooney and RVP in the team. He was just unfortunate that such a great transfer hurt his options in the team.
Fergie signed him, had plans for him, Van Persie suddenly became an realistic option and that changed Fergies plans.
Great news and a decent price, which bodes well for future transfer negotiations.
I think he will settle into the team quickly and link up well with our other forwards. I'm really looking forward to seeing him play for us.
