I agree with you that rotting with reserves is what Sancho deserves, but looking at the long term strategy the INEOS crowd are charting it seems highly likely if not nailed on that ETH will be sacked at the end of the season. And once he’s sacked it’s a clean slate with the new manager. When you think about our current options at RW no matter who the manager is the conclusion that Antony is shit is inescapable. Pellistri, nope. I like Amad and hopefully we’ll see what he’s got in the second half of the season but he may not have it. If Sancho lights it up with Dortmund again INEOS will want him back.

But I don't honestly think Sancho is an "ETH" problem. Although his form was good at Dortmund his attitude and professionalism stunk the place out there too. He's carried that over into what should have been a dream move at United and on top of that he essentially calls his manager a liar in public.
Regardless of whether ETH is manager here next season or not Sancho should not be allowed back into the squad.
Another Dortmund failure.
Why do we continue buying players from Dortmund?
Why do we continue buying players from Dortmund?
Because City won the treble as soon as they had enough Dortmund players in their squad.
There’s 115 other reasons City won that treble.
I agree with you that Sancho has disgraced himself, but from the perspective of those who are running the football operation it’s not hard to see Ratcliffe sacking ten Hag and letting the new manager decide who does and does not fit into his plans.
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if the next manager didn't want Sancho to come back either. Why add a likely problem to a squad full of them?
There is a lot of positive feeling around the change INEOS will bring. A big part of that must be the culture. Even if Ten Hag is sacked, if INEOS allow a Sancho return without an apology we will never fix culture.
If that’s the case I’d say that we’re not moving any different under INEOS. Anyone that’s seen Sancho play can say with confidence that he’s not a right winger, he’s a left winger
Is he definitely moving on loan now? Is it all confirmed?
Not yet. Big day today!
Can’t think seeing of a bigger loser play for United
One again I agree, but we already have decent left wingers in Garnacho and Rashford, in that order. Sancho, if we can ever recover his form, actually is adept at both the left and the right.
I wouldn’t say it’s equal, he’s been better on the left than the right and allegedly says himself he doesn’t want to play on the right. This transfer was just a catalogue of mistakes
From what I have read in some German Dortmund forums their supporters would absolutely welcome him back. Some even think he would be their best player the minute he arrives as they seem to struggle despite their positive CL campaign.

Due to too much xbox I fear his thumbs are locked permanently in that position.
Worth saying nice and early that a successful spell back in Germany doesn't mean he should be given another chance here next season. Use it to drive the fee up and get rid permanently.
What do we do if he's still shit?
Don't return any of Dortmund's calls and hope the situation just works itself out?
We had this with Lukaku. You'll just loan him out again to a different club hoping for a different outcome, unless there is a buyers market for him at a price level United are happy to sell at. Or there's always a chance you sack Ten Hag and the new manager wants to give Sancho another chance.
Maybe we should make him apologise to Dortmund.
Don’t care
I really thought this guy was going to be an absolute Superstar for us, hope he finds his form and comes back hungry to play better for our shirt.
We already know because we have a pattern for that. We keep them until the end of their contract because no one will buy him, then inexplicably renew.
Usually flops that go back to Dortmund don't regain their old selves - Gotze, Kagawa, Sahin. Hummels has been alright but he wasn't really a flop at Bayern anyway.
Couldn’t have gone much worse as a transfer tbh. Awful, awful signing
Not only Dortmund too. Feels like whenever a player "returns" it rarely ends well. Pogba, Ronaldo...
He'll do well. Dortmund is for Gen Z.
Well if he can at least make that pose consistently we can always use him as a toiler roll holder and get some value back that way. Provided no one needs the bog early on in the day at least.
Good luck in Dortmund though Jadon. Make your self look as valuable as possible please.
Hopefully he does decent then the club can flog him for a decent percentage of what was initially paid.
Is it a new grift for Romano to add the airline in his transfer tweets?
like Sanchez I couldn't quite believe we signed him and he didn't play on the right wing
completely ridiculous squad planning

Thumbs up if you get the reference.

Lukaku did well on his first loan to Inter. They needed to sell him then though.
Hope we don't bring him back in to a new manager if he does well in Germany as he will just flop again at United.
I hope we sell him somewhere he wouldn't like to live.
He did get opportunities to play on the right, but he can't beat a man so had to be moved to the left so he could at least cut back and play a simple pass.
To be fair, yeah. Inter were willing to pay a transfer fee that Chelsea were willing to accept. Then Lukaku nuked the entire thing by flirting with Juventus.
Absolutely. I have no faith this club could find anyone better but I doubt we could find anyone more disinterested.
