Another good performance. I think he will be immense next season.
Seriously and people call Ole as competent.we were in jail with Ole:

Whether this bit is true or not, Ole tracked Sancho for two years and then promptly had no idea how to utilize himwe were in jail with Ole:

To be honest it was the first time I’ve seen him pass first time like that. Usually he’s been making the wrong choices since joining Utd.The pass infield to Ronaldo which led to a shot is what separated him from other wide players and the reason why he has so many assists at such a young age. Love a wide player who can play passes like that
Its not that crazy, it depends what you ask the wing backs to do. Look how many goals and assists Chilwell and James have this season for Chelsea (even while being injured for much of it). Tuchel also plays Hudson Odoi in this position when he plays the same position as Sancho naturally. Against a low block I don’t find this a strange approach as the wing backs are in effect extra attackers. Shame that Ole didn’t have the tactical knowledge or courage to try it.we were in jail with Ole:

It was a terrible idea, IMO. You typically want fast and strong player with a very high fitness level in these positions who can cover create distances and utilize space. That's the opposite of Sancho.Its not that crazy, it depends what you ask the wing backs to do.

Love Sancho as a player. Very smooth and considered.
You don’t need that against a low block! Most of the time you’re high up the pitch, in possession and trying to unlock a defence.It was a terrible idea, IMO.

Solskjaer being fired is the best thing that could've happened to himI hope he can start an era now at United. Would be great to see if you could find back to former glory worth him being the young star and Ronaldo being the old guard at it. Best of the new and old, so to speak

Yes, but primarily to provide width and make runs in behindYou don’t need that against a low block! Most of the time you’re high up the pitch, in possession and trying to unlock a defence.
You don’t need that much athleticism to track back against Burnley, the counters are generally limited. That’s why you have 3 centre backs too. Put an athlete like Bailly on the right side. Reece James is a contradiction to your point because his main weakness is a lack of pace so can be exposed yet Tuchel has him taking up centre forward positions sometimes.Yes, but primarily to provide width and make runs in behindAnd you need the athleticism for tracking back, too. Over here many teams play with wing backs and they're almost always energetic, strong and fast. Your Dani Alves type of player. Sancho actually played in a 3-4-2-1 in Dortmund a lot and was always used as a central player in it

RaphinhaLeft wing is 100% his at this point. Get us a left footed RW with pace and we’ll be floating.
It's still a terrible idea. Sancho is the kind of player you want and trust to give him the freedom to drift. A wingback primary priority is keeping the width most of the time. It's a the most misuse way for someone like Sancho. The wingback has the tendency to go outside more even against a packed defense.You don’t need that against a low block!

Why sod Bruno?
I feel with Bruno on the pitch he automatically becomes the first option to receive the ball and his style is to go for the jugular as soon as possible. Its one of the reasons him and Rashford worked so well in the past. Sancho although he can run in behind as shown yesterday, he prefers a more patient approach he will break a team down in stages rather than with a Hollywood ball. This is the reason why I feel its important to get him the ball as much as possible.A pretty good idea to just have both of them! I was looking forward to seeing Pogba in that creative role today with his control, but that was a huge let down. Not sure what's up with him. But no reason Sancho and Bruno can't excel together in that creative line behind the strikers.
True.You can tell Ronaldo loves him.
Agreed. He looks so comfortable on the ball and on the eye. He reminds me a bit like hazard when he receives the ball. You feel like anything dangerous could happen or you’re confident he’s going to do something creative.He is a player that he gives me confidence when he has the ball. Yeah, he makes some mistakes here and there, and he will continue to do so, but he has a really fine decision making.
Apparently he gives the ball away plenty. Don't need that.Raphinha![]()
Have we got a song for him yet?
Love this lad, got all the making of a really influential player for us over the long term
