Bdl told me he just needed to be on the left to be unlocked. Really hope he turns it around but he's been poor lets be honest.

 

[ScholesyTheWise]

That's my read on the situation. Potentially a loan with subsidized wages, with a view to a sale next summer when his book value is further amortized and the FFP situation is hopefully a little rosier.

Thanks for the explanation mate

 

[Red00012]

Let’s hope he does a Rashford next season

You've more chance of winning the lottery jackpot than that happening

 

[Maroon Lucifer]

There is zero chance of selling him due to the crazy wages we gave him

So is this guy gonna Bogarde his contract at 23 years old?

 

[Denis79]

Very dissapointing.

 

[NotoriousISSY]

So is this guy gonna Bogarde his contract at 23 years old?

If his quoted salary is factual, he would be stupid not to.

Not far away from 9 figures gross over the course of his contract. Mind-blowing.

Let’s hope he does a Rashford next season

Rashford was very good though in the league before last season.

Sancho has never come close to replicating those performances.

He's just too timid. He pretty much plays the same game constantly. He always leaves you wanting more. He avoids getting stuck in. Doesn't really create for others.

 

[talking robot]

Sell him while we can still get most of our money back. His value is only going to drop

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

Even if Rashford comes back fit enough on next Thursday, there is no way that Sancho should stand ahead of Garnacho in the pecking order at LW.

Starting him is just pointless.

 

[Blood Mage]

It's getting hard to see a way back for him at this club. His attitude and mentality are just piss poor. We should probably sell him this summer, I'd snap someone's hand off for 35m.

Problem is no one will offer that, not with the wages he earns

 

[pratyush_utd]

Needs to work on his fitness and get stuck in. He cant play like a passenger when we dont have the ball or when he is competing for the ball, especially when he is so poor when he has the ball.

 

[bosnian_red]

It's getting hard to see a way back for him at this club. His attitude and mentality are just piss poor. We should probably sell him this summer, I'd snap someone's hand off for 35m.

As @Big Ben Foster wrote, there's virtually no chance we sell him for anything that is below roughly 50m or so because otherwise the way the fee is amortized for FFP purposes, it would just feck us over more.

He will inevitably stick around for longer, which isn't bad anyway. He just turned 23, I don't see him being a starter long term but he'll still be needed for plenty of games as a squad player and with an actual striker to play off of, I'd expect a better level out of all of the creators behind the striker. Depth is needed anyway and we aren't over crowded with Rashford, Garnacho, Sancho, Antony and Amad, as Rashford can rotate up top when needed, Sancho and Amad can rotate as the 10 when needed.

 

[Corey]

By my calculations, his net book value at the end of this season will be £44m. If we sell him for less than that, then the difference will count as a loss on the sale of asset, and will negatively affect profit and FFP.

Assuming we sell him after 30th June, this loss would go into the 23-24 accounts.


On the other hand, if it’s true that he’s on a ridiculous salary of £18m a year, then selling him would improve profit by £18m in the 23-24 accounts.

Netting off these two factors, it appears we’d have to sell him for at least £26m (i.e £44m - £18m) for the 23-24 accounts and FFP position not to be harmed.

I reckon we could get £26m, but nobody will be able to afford his wages so can’t see him leaving yet.

 

[tentan]

Is done at the club. Needs to leave.

 

[izak]

Nani is 100 time the player Sancho would ever be, But he was labled the frustrating one.

At least Nani was never afraid of running at defenders and neither was he this boring to watch.

 

[NoPace]

I just don't understand. He was excellent at Dortmund, and even if it might be easier to do well in the Bundesliga than the Prem, the gap isn't so wide that it's natural for a player to go from excellent to utterly horrendous just by switching leagues.

I thought he'd basically be our Ribery. Lovely playmaker at LW, 10 goals and 12-15 assists type seasons in his prime and lots of 2nd assists. England played him in that knockout game against Ukraine and he looked so nimble and agile.

 

[UNITED ACADEMY]

We owed dortmund another £44m in the next 3 years. Hopefully they don’t mind if they buy him back for £44m (We should still take £30m). We got scammed bro.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

He doesn’t have the physical or mental intensity for this level. I think we should loan him out if we can’t sell him. Unless he shows some absurd transformation in the summer I don’t see the point of him in the squad next year. I’m someone who was so excited about this signing but if we’re setting standards we can’t have this chap faffing about like this.

 

[DRJosh]

I think his link up with Haaland in Dortmund made him look better than he actually was.

 

[johnnyteutonic]

I think his link up with Haaland in Dortmund made him look better than he actually was.

I'm sure that played a part but he was still putting up ridiculous numbers before Haaland joined Dortmund.

 

[TomSkalle]

He just goes totally invisible in some matches.
No precence at all.

 

[Freak]

That moment when he pussied out of a challenge for the ball and then literally jogged back. Idiot.

 

[RuudtheRed]

He was poor again apart from a slight contribution to the goal. Never beats a man for pace. Still hoping he can put it all together one day but between him and Garnacho for the LW spot, it's not looking good for him.

 

[tenpoless]

I hope this shows us not to spend a feckton of money on Dortmund players again. Bundesliga is shite. Skip Bellingham for the price quoted and chase other targets. Two years of constant speculation and having to listen to Jan Fjortfart and this is what we get.

 

[Sultan]

He lacks pace, fight and intensity. He seems a timid personality. I'm not sure we're going to see an improvement in the player. I'm positive he is not cut out to be a Premiership player.

 

[fergiewherearethou]

I've always believed he would settle in and start to improve but he's been here 2 seasons and I see no development whatsoever. Worrying really.
The bare minimum for a Manchester United winger should be 20-25 goal contributions per season.

 

[crossy1686]

I think his link up with Haaland in Dortmund made him look better than he actually was.

He had Hakimi behind him one season then Haaland in front of him the next season, plus he was playing against German defences...

 

[DRJosh]

I'm sure that played a part but he was still putting up ridiculous numbers before Haaland joined Dortmund.

Perhaps the EPL demands more aggression- he seems a bit averse to running at defenders, preferring to thread the ball into the box which doesn't always come off.

 

[Judas]

I just don't think it's going to click for him, which shocks me but it is what it is, and evidence speaks for itself. Doesn't seem suited to the PL, and his application and lack of fight just isn't good enough. You need so much more aggression, pace and directness to succeed here in the role he's playing.

'I always thought he'd come good, but he's now had two seasons and we're nowhere near closer to seeing the form he showed in Germany.

 

[AndySmith1990]

He's either not bothered or he's a complete and utter wimp. Either way he should be told he's not wanted here and then transfer listed. Sell to the highest bidder and move on from yet another expensive failure

 

[M Bison]

He must have something, he simply MUST! He was brilliant for Dortmund but looks a long way off, will be behind Garnacho and Amad next season, plus Rashford and Antony so he's going to have to work hard to get into the side and will likely spend a lot of time on the bench.

 

[Drizzle]

I hope this shows us not to spend a feckton of money on Dortmund players again. Bundesliga is shite. Skip Bellingham for the price quoted and chase other targets. Two years of constant speculation and having to listen to Jan Fjortfart and this is what we get.

You're drawing the wrong conclusions. It's not about Dortmund or the Bundesliga, it's about us - choosing the wrong players for the wrong system and manager.

City seemed to do OK with their Dortmund purchase this year....

 

[RickRudesDong]

Soft, tubby, slow. We need a winger that is rapid, strong and aggressive.

Jadon Sancho, for me, represents why United are so far behind the best in the league... and also what's been wrong with United since Ferguson left.

Huge amount of cash, unimaginative scouting, buying into the hype. For nothing.

 

[VanDeBank]

As @Big Ben Foster wrote, there's virtually no chance we sell him for anything that is below roughly 50m or so because otherwise the way the fee is amortized for FFP purposes, it would just feck us over more.

Depth is needed anyway and we aren't over crowded with Rashford, Garnacho, Sancho, Antony and Amad, as Rashford can rotate up top when needed, Sancho and Amad can rotate as the 10 when needed.

So you're basically saying he's gonna be a Donny for attacking positions?

Eriksen is a far better 10, and I really hope we get a midfielder in the position he's been playing.

 

[crossy1686]

He's quickly going down as the biggest flop/disappointment ever when you consider his price vs expectation.

 

[Cee90]

Incredibly frustrating player.

Pellistri / Garnacho should be ahead of him in the pecking order.

 

[Bebestation]

You're drawing the wrong conclusions. It's not about Dortmund or the Bundesliga, it's about us - choosing the wrong players for the wrong system and manager.

Haaland was great before Dortmund.

Arguably the only Dortmund player to ever be a true success is Gundogan at City.

I can’t remember anyone else doing well to a class level post Dortmund.

 

[Fortitude]

Don't like the revisionism on his pre-United career. He was exceptional and rightly regarded as one of the hottest young talents in football. That wasn't the Bundesliga's doing; he was playing and thinking like a rounded professional and had no lack of ambition or creativity to his attacking game.

What we've seen here is not the player who was touted - something has gone fundamentally wrong and this same Sancho wouldn't be close to standout in any league, let alone return to the heights he'd hit for Dortmund.

Being timid and lacking in aggression in attack was not applicable to him then as it is now. The pussying out on challenges, perhaps as I don't recall that being examined there.

He has the talent, but everything else is lacking with him, from: heart, aggression, determination to that steely desire to affect play that all wide men should have. His athleticism and fitness have also tanked, and he was only an intense 70-min player in the first place.

I think what's getting on everyone's nerves is that he's not arsing himself to graft and show fight whilst other areas of his game have abandoned him - the pussying out on essential challenges and blocks being particularly maddening.

He's a husk of himself and I think if it wasn't for the FFP situation, we'd have let him go this summer, as is, he'll get one last season to turn it around. I hope whatever is ailing him mentally can be resolved so we get to see the player we bought rather than this shell of a player who barely warrants PT.
