Its funny how any player that doesnt do well is unsellable....I get the waqes make things difficult, but comment on here of nobody will take him, maybe we can get £30m back for him....get out of here.....there would be lots of interest in Sancho if he was on the market, maybe not for the price we paid, but he still goes for a hefty fee.....and that is something we should be starting to consider now considering the numbe rof good young players on bot flanks we have and the money we need to spend in other positions this summer

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

I'd honestly sell him to Liverpool at this moment
His wage would be the biggest issue. We'd have to subsidise it. He's on 375k a week ffs.
He wouldn't get a game.
We should just do it. It's better than paying him full whack to spend months in Holland in the middle of the season or sit on the bench.
If we can get him, Maguire, and McTomminay out in the summer we might have some decent money to spend.
We'll be owned by the Qataris. We'll have plenty money.
He was never good enough and wouldnt get a game with Rashford and Fernandes here was the general consensus at the time......yet there was a lot of positivity when we signed VDB instead.
Then again Grealish was a huge waste of money until about 3/4months ago.
£100m was a crazy fee, I do think Greakish would have been a great siging here, I really wanted him that summer and never wanted VDB. but I don tthink we have massively lost out when we have Rashford and Garnacho coming through...and others, signing VDB was much more a mistake than missing out on Grealish.
Its still too early to tell, especially on the latter, but at the moment it doesnt look too prudent that we have spent well over £150m on Sancho and Antony, both obviously talented, I actually like both players....but I'm not confident ether will come truly good and elite here, which is what you would obviously want from such money spent
I once went overboard here and said he is a bad footballer. I was rightly put back in my place but when you watch a football do all the things every person that labels them self a footballer do without pressure and can’t translate to a pressurised environment. Then classifications/levels are to be decided.
If Sancho is a good footballer, then McTominay is one as well because he also scores goals whilst looking lost all game apart from not forgetting fix the shape of their shorts. More concern with their appearance on the pitch than imposing them self on the game.

Hindsight? I always much preferred Grealish. As for the potential, that is intangible. Grealish always looked better to me.
I don’t remember being unhappy with the Sancho signing. His being broadly ineffective would lead me to say that, with hindsight, we shouldn’t have signed him. He’s an albatross now so might as well hope he comes good but I just don’t believe any more.
Mikhi was the best of them all. Yes he had a lot of flaws but he had many solid games and played a big part in us winning the EL as well. The only one of them that you can argue wasn't a total failure.
Yeah. I just really like Grealish. He would have been great here. £100m was too rich for our blood anyway but it sounds like we never went in for him.
Sancho and Antony have time but I’m not holding my breath.
Name 1 club who would be willing and able to pay him 350k a week and a transfer fee >£30m.
Only one I can think of is actually Newcastle but not with their current manager and style of play, I just can't see them being interested. They've already got one overhyped young English winger they overpaid for and he won't be earning £350k a week.
Sorry, think I might have quoted the wrong person. Meant @crossy1686
I agree. There isn’t one. We’ll be stuck with him due to his wages.
One of the top earners in epl and hes shit. Thank feck ole and woodward.
Forget about selling, id give him for free just to take his wagebill iff

Based on yesterday's match? He's been poor for almost 2 years now. Plays for a team that has created the most chances almost every season for the past 7 years and has barely scored/assisted for them (almost 80 games and only 10 goals and 12 assists to his name)
You kind of answered your own question. A player becomes “unsellable” due to the contract he has. No team is going to offer Sancho anywhere near what he is currently on right now. He ain’t moving unless he gets a similar wage.
Jesse Lingard at his best (early Mourinho-era) was more than twice the player Sancho has ever been for us. And I think Lingard at his best was rubbish.
Let's hope the new owners don't give a feck about money and let him leave.
One of my mates is a United supporter from Lyon, France. He outright compared Jadon Sancho to Hatem Ben Arfa... a man with a ton of talent but with a strong lack of discipline, playing for show instead of performance.
Still no improvement at all. Too soft, too weak, and zero aggression. 350k pw is hell of money for bench player that still needs more time to develop.
I'm thinking of signing Mitoma to replace him.

We don't need to sign anyone to replace him. Mitoma is class but again, just not needed.
We have Rashford who is our starting LW. We have Garnacho as our backup LW. We have Antony for RW. We have Amad and Pellistri coming through at RW. Sancho for now is competition for both wings along with those younger guys. That's fine. We have numbers but just need those younger guys to develop a tiny bit before they're trusted to be the first guys off the bench. You don't sign a stop gap backup player while we have someone like Garnacho. You just wait it out.
I strongly disagree. City has 11 players who has a certain formula for ball rotation. The passing combination between their CM, Fullbacks, and wingers are formulaic and Sancho can easily play those passes. At United we have this kind of long ball style that is very anti-football, not playing to Sancho's strengths.
After all, Sancho was coached in City's academy system, wouldn't be a far fetched idea to see Sancho performing in Man City.
Sancho will fit in well with City style of play, that is because City players are all good in keeping the ball and playing it simple. At United, we can't event receive passes and play some combination, that is evident.
I don't think he's made for the PL, he's not agressive enough

Almost gave up on him. Only expecting he turns up in a useful rotation player.
A luxury rotation player, unfortunately

Yep, agree with this. He isn't athletic enough either
We still need to sign one if we aren't planning to sign a striker but using Rashford as striker due to all the strikers in the market is 100m or more.
It's a damn shame because he has ability. Combine his skills with St Maximin willingness to keep attacking and you'd have a player
He’s absolutely crap I’m done with him.
I don’t care what he did at Dortmund he’s been shocking for almost 2 seasons here at United. He‘s got no pace, rarely beats his man and easily gets shut out of a game due to his confidence levels, if he loses the ball early on you just know he’s done mentally and will be shite all game.
We’ve blown a lot of money in the past 10 years and I’d go as far to say he’s been the biggest flop of them all, fecking dreadful player.

He wouldn’t get anywhere near the City side mate. Take away all his other weaknesses like speed and ability to beat his man and just focus on his passing he loses the ball way too much to be a starter at City. Grealish and Mahrez struggle to make the 11 at times and he’s nowhere near their level going off his 2 seasons at United.
If we do move him on, then I hope we do sign a replacement. And with Southampton rooted to the bottom of table, I hope we make a move for Kamaldeen Sulemana who recently turned 21, and has the potential to develop into a very dangerous wide attacker who is comfortable on either side and has electric pace. He's a bigger talent than Saint Maximim imo and with a bit of fine tuning in the final third he could be a potential bargain from a relegated team.
Both United and Ajax looked at him when he was playing in Denmark with the player coming close to joining Ajax when ten Hag was at the club. And also United's lead scout in Scandinavia (Tommy Moller Nielsen) also recommended him to the club.

I think we have a big decision on our hands with regards to Sancho. The club can’t keep carrying such a highly paid player who can’t handle this level.
It’s insane because his ability is fantastic. At times he does things that make the game look easy. But mentally and physically he’s so so far off the pace that those moments are rare and instead he spends most of the time getting bullied.
It's depressing me
You just wanna grab him by the shoulder, shake him very hard and shout "Wake tf up!!" at himMad Sanchez vibes but he's mentally done, and physically not up to playing in the PL.
We need big investment in the summer, not for signing players but so we can jettison shite players on big wages and subsidie while they play for the mid table clubs they belong at.

I'd rather spend the £100m on a ST then
Same here. If the fecker just made it his life’s goal to become an actual athlete he’d be unstoppable with his close control and weight of pass. It’s one of those things where ETH has to take a quick call - if the player is not listening and driven enough replace him asap otherwise he will bleed you later. Of course if he does have that then it is worth it.It's depressing me
He gets one more season for me as we send out Amad and Pellistri out on loan to clubs where they'll play. If he's still below par come next season we're guaranteed to have an internal replacement in one of the loanees at least
I only love him because he shows that the fanbase knows shit all about football. one of the Most hyped players ever.
So going by the comments… pep was right? 
Was so poor against Newcastle. Pulled out of almost every 50-50 challenge. I am beginning to think he simply doesn't care. He's happy getting his fat pay check and that's it.
Not better than the young prospects we already have. He is already far ahead in his development but still playing with the same immaturity.
