I can see him staying, simply because no one will ever pay him that wage again. He's going to be really tough to get rid.

The hostage returns.

Only we can feck up "obligation to pay" deal. These 5 mil are basically a loan fee (which other clubs get when loaning players ).
Whoever made this deal, did a very bad job.
If he runs his contract down, I can’t see him getting any offers coming close to what he’s currently on.
What’s left of Sancho’s poor reputation, is mostly in the toilet and his value will have collapsed.
Any signing on fee would be a nice earner, even if it’s not massive, but he’ll only be able to command a fraction of the wages he’s on with Utd.
That’s if anyone will have him?
.
We can't make any money next year from him and he's not an asset as we won't play him. The only choices now are to spend as little on wages as possible by loaning him or offloading those wages in a transfer. If we're going to spend another £10m in wages it'd make it worthwhile to sell for £7m to break even on his book value?
I wish
He would have earned a lot more on a reduced longer contract at Chelsea than he will at 1 season at United. But he's way too thick to think in that way unfortunately
Well it is likely the offer from Chelsea was nowhere close to what he is currently on either. He can sit tight and get the last year of his United salary and keep his value where it is now by playing on loan somewhere. Next summer he can negotiate with clubs who don't have to pay a 25M transfer fee for him and as a result they may be willing to pad his salary a little more and give him a decent signing bonus. I don't think he is taking much of a risk.
Bit surprised that it's collapsed after Chelsea announced they wanted him to stay if they could agree on personal terms.
Sure, weekly wages won't be close to what he's on at United, but that contract expires a year from now and it's not like he's been performing at the highest level. 26 next year. It's not like it's without risk to see the contract out and gamble on a sizeable sign on fee + wages.

Like an injury?
Well that applies to every player that runs down their contract but if he is like most top sportsmen he will have insurance against that anyway. In truth I am not that sure he would be bothered if he couldn't play anymore.
You're not obliged to.
Oh, he'll probably have a level of insurance in case he picks up an injury preventing him from ever playing football again, like Ryan Mason, but it doesn't have to be a career ending injury to properly feck up his plan of a sign on fee and higher wages. An unlucky ACL tear in january and good luck with that ship.
He's had a few decent performances for Chelsea, nothing amazing. Obviously it depends on what Chelsea were offering him in terms of years and wages, but i disagree that close to it's risk-free to play down his contract at United.
Shush, we’re trying to get rid of him
I wonder what Chelsea offered him as a wage, could of been £50 quid a week, then they can say “Sorry Jim we are gonna have to send the cnut back, tried everything we could to convince him to stay, we’ll be in touch over Garnacho next month xx”
“From one pwoper Chels to another…”
If I had to guess we probably offered him £100k per week or thereabouts with incentives that he could reach to earn more. I believe the higher end of our new wage structure has been around £120k if I recall correctly.
That would be a pretty respectable wage offer for someone of his production but you can kind of understand why someone making maybe 3 times that currently would say no. Where he thinks he’s getting that elsewhere is the mystery, though.
He’s just pure greedy. Not shown anything at either us or you to warrant the wages he wants.
He will probably happy to accept this offer next summer with a signing fee and save Chelsea £20m. Chelsea can probably loan him again for next season if fail to land their target LW this summer. It is a win win situation for both Sancho and Chelsea.
He’ll be begging for a loan back to Dortmund now. And they’ll want us to cover most of his wages. I really hate that club.
He’s one for the history books this one
He should probably retire after he’s collected his last years salary check.

If i were United, I wouldn't give him a free pass. I would make sure to give him targets to meet (being on time for meetings and training). If he does not meet them, to continually fine him so that we can minimise our losses and send a message to others in the squad.
When I think about the amount of time, energy and money United spent trying to sign this waste of space.
Rashford should take his friend with him.
Double impact!

Just throw him in the reserves and let him rot there. No club is paying anything for him. Rashford, Antony at least looked like they can do it. Sancho? well chelsea rather pay 5M than keep him so that sums it up.
He's not good enough and he's a diva. Lazy player with weak mentality if we allow him back to the squad he'll just rot the other players. Just keep him as away as possible from the club.

Is there any chance Ruben could coax a tune out of him? Surely Sancho has some ambition left.....
I doubt the deal with Chelsea fell through on personal terms without some sort of realistic comparison. Either he backs himself to break into the team, which given our performances it would be really unambitious not to do, or he already knows what he can get elsewhere. You have to assume his agent has done at least a little bit of ground work on this.
He has zero interest in being a professional footballer.
His attitude is pathetic.
Could drop his wage demands and I still think most PL clubs would want him.
He’ll stay and go to Dortmund for free next summer.

Because it's cheaper, to them, Sancho isn't worth 25m+250k pw, if he tore it with them perhaps they would have taken him but he didn't do anything worth spending 25m+250k pw in him, and the news about them discussing terms with Sancho indicate they were willing to keep him on reduced wages, and since that didn't work, they are sending him back.
Also, Saudi clubs go after top players nowadays, like Bruno, Osimhen, and so, they won't even look at a loser like Sancho.
Sending love letters to Chelsea. Didn’t love them enough to make an effort
Most annoying player we’ve had in years. Useless and waste of space.
I’ve never disliked a United player as much as I do Sancho. What a waste of good given talent. He’s arrogant, entitled, lazy, petulant, and just an all around cnut. The kid has done nothing in football since leaving Dortmund and somehow thinks he should be making 250k/week. How does someone have such little self awareness and not realize that clubs are literally paying money to get rid of him.
We’re going to end up paying half his wages on another loan deal. Rinse and repeat until his deal ends and he walks for free. Any club that can afford to pay him what he wants will want nothing to do with him and rightly so.

I know it would feel good to punish him or whatever in the reserves, but the name of the name is really minimizing losses. If you have to send him to Dortmund and pay half his wages then unfortunately that's what you do because that's better then paying 100%.
Shame on Sancho and those that recruited him but credit to the ownership for still backing Ten Hag and not making Amorim deal with him.

He’s basically done a Lingard, we should just accept anything around 10 million at this point, we’d save 12 million on his wages next season
He shouldn't be anywhere near the reserves/youth teams.
Give him a schedule, away from all other players. He'll, even send a coach to his house whatever works.

Significant setback. I imagine the club were banking on the 25m.
I am sure he's pretty down at this point. Can we send him on a holiday for let's say till the end of his contract? Let's not forget to pay him in full.
I’m gonna try and be realistic here - if he turned down Chelsea’s offer then that will have been on the cards for some time, we must have known that this was going to happen as well. His agent would also have known this.
Therefore there must be an alternative plan for him. He has an agent and they would have been working something out and we must know that.
At no point has Sancho or his side, or Utd talked about him returning.
I really hope that they’ve got something lined up.

His multiple international curfew busting mid seasons just to party and his jaded inability to force a move despite an outlandish cost package still didn't stop our scouts from yelling 'Generational Talent!' To be fair we were pretty desperate for a Generationally Talented winger at the time as a club and waved away all the red flags and did a pretty dumb deal. Hope we learned something as a club.
Please Saudi rescue him from the evil clutches of Manchester United!
