He should rightfully start ahead of Saka. I think Southgate was being nice by letting Sancho concentrate on his contract issues first before playing.

If he doesnt play on the right then dunno whats the point, already having a feeling that last 15 years we were playing with a hole on RW position.
I think he will be used mostly as a RW and start building some serious partnership with AWB there but also Greenwood is better form the right and he will get plenty of minutes there too so I think the time will be distributed something like this.

LW (Rashford 50% Sancho 20%, Pogba 30 %)
RW (Sancho 60%, Greenwood 30%, Amad 10%)
ST(Cavani 40%, Rashford 30%, Greenwood 20% Martial 10 %)
CAM (Bruno 80%, Pogba 10%, Sancho 10%)
CM (Pogba 50%...)

With other players competing there too but at least we shouldn't see Rashford from the right. Counting in injuries we shouldn't see Rashford to start the season , so I would bet more Pogba there form the LAM at first and than slowly rotating accordingly.

Let's see if Martial can find some drive and how much is Greenwood willing to work even harder to get over those here.

left wing
Yeah I thought of him just after I pressed "post reply" - he's was decent, too.

It is something we've lacked for a little while though - someone who can turn defenders inside out. Martial has shown flashes of it here and there, but has never really been consistent enough. Sancho will be among the very best dribblers in the league.

Who is leaking the team 12 hours before KO ffs?
This was leaked last night so it was longer than 12 hrs.

And it could be a bluff due to there been so many leaks. Wouldn't be a bad way to catch who is leaking the news.

Dunno what Southgate is upto

He's hardly given Sancho any minutes this tournament, then chucks him in at the quarters. Showed no faith in him to the point he didn't even make the squad to begin with. Then all of a sudden, with hardly any minutes under his belt, he's in the 11?

Clueless.

Delighted he’s starting, don’t understand the criticism or negativity.

“Clueless” is excessive imo.

I'm delighted to see what Sancho can do. But he's hardly given him the best opportunity has he?
He’s trusted him to play in the quarters, that’s an amazing opportunity in my view.

Would also like to understand your Southgate “clueless” label more clearly

He’s got so much attacking talent. Like he said in pre interview he wants a right winger playing on the right because of how Ukraine play with back 5. He wants a one on one specialist and also commented how well sancho is training, he’s aggressive and fighting for a place..


he’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t...

Isn’t saka injured though? that could be one of the reasons. Sancho will suit this game more as Ukraine are most likely to play a low block

Hes been class on both flanks. He really isn't a player that is affected by the flank he plays on.
The way he plays those short passes and drifts infield. It seems simple but he draws in so many players and creates so much space.

Looking good so far. I like how he passes and moves to receive the ball, will be useful against low block. His touch isn't bad either.

Yup. Whatever flank he plays on, so much space is going to be available for the overlap for Shaw or Wan Bissaka. Wan Bissaka isn't creative but the space will be there in advanced positions where he just plays a simple pass across or a cross in, rather than needing to create space on his own.

He's good left or right but definitely benefits from having more options on the left. I'd expect him to have license to move around at United though. Him and Greenwood switching positions would be pretty tasty.

Technically excellent. Probably our 2nd most naturally gifted player after Pogba. Cant wait to see him in the shirt.
