Which probably means we've been offering much much lower than the difference your mentioning.The wages we're using on Cavani over two years probably amounts to the same amount that we need to get Sancho over the line
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

The only reason Zorc and Reus have been asked in recent days is because the Sky UK guy that was sent over to Dortmund for coverage asked his colleagues from Sky Germany to put forward these questions (due to Covid regulations he doesn`t have access).It’s interesting that none of the journalist in Germany are talking about it yet he’s answering questions that he’s being asked about it. They’re either asking him or he’s just randomly plucking the thoughts out of his head.
Anyone complaining about this is just spoilt

@RkkMan no need to ask mods to delete, you can do that yourself. Look at the bottom left of your post.
Is this on or off?
You'll likely find out after the game tomorrow...
Ah the old "we're done" can't wait.
it’s utterly fecking ridiculous isn’t it.The wages we're using on Cavani over two years probably amounts to the same amount that we need to get Sancho over the line
Have we put a bid in yet though?
We're done?
No, if we lose tomorrow, you'll likely see a mass Ed Woodward panic buy special i'd imagine
No. We are still at the "figuring out a formula" stage.
Ole to come out after the game to say there won’t be any more incomings after Cavani. BVB panic and accept our £100m offer. Genius.
Listen lads, Sancho is coming. So is Telles.
We will end the window with Sancho, Donny, Cavani and Telles. We will be able to break on counters, creatively carve teams apart and have plan Bs with a target man if needed too.
(I hope)

Ed couldn't finish this deal if he had a fecking DeLorean.
Yeah... no.
You'd have to assume it's off with Cavani all but signed - which is nothing more than a desperate attempt to appease the fans.
Maybe next year.
Ah I tried
This appeases literally no fans. And some of the Manchester journos have already said this deal doesn’t affect anything else going on.
At times I wonder whether we ll do as we did with Bruno, will try to sign him in January when more funds are released.
Appease the fans? A lot of the fans i've seen posting are pretty annoyed at this news.
If anything, he's going to annoy the fans even more, especially if he doesn't get Sancho over the line. Then again, this is Ed "United can do things in the transfer market that other clubs can only dream of" Woodward we're talking about... he doesn't, and never has, cared about what the fans think
So is Cavani why the club Briefed out that they were relaxed yesterday?
Are they that stupid that they think fans will see Cavani as a genuine alternative to Sancho?

Maybe but we’re never really going to kick on if we keep doing that.
We won't do anymore business after Cavani - nothing major anyway. The fact that Cavani has been available all summer, yet we chose to go in for him at this late hour, wreaks of a last-ditch attempt to add a big name after failing to land Sancho.
I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
If we're down in 8th or so, with no prospect of CL football, then there is absolutely no chance we'll sign Sancho.
I'm confident we'll get him in the next 12 months, but that all depends on whether we secure CL football or not. If we don't, well... time to go looking at some other, more budget options.
Not sure about that. I do think we'll try one more half-arsed effort at Sancho, something we know Dortmund won't accept, just so we can spin it and say Dortmund were being stubborn, but we're happy and confident with the squad we've got etc, typical United BS.
My optimism is waning, but until the window closes, anything is possible.
100% this. The Cavani deal is a act of desperation from the board. It also reeks of being an Ed Woodward signing rather than an Ole type of signing.
One can hope bud.
I think the Hudson-Odoi to Bayern deal is worth keeping an eye on. If the obligation to buy is a high figure, I can see Chelsea going for Sancho next summer.
Next year we'll have the competition of clubs that win trophies.
Van de Beek: fee plus wage
Cavani: agent fee, signing on fee plus wage
We're good for that, but not paying for Sancho?
You have to ask what is going on at the club. Ole wants Sancho; Cavani does not strike as a Ole signing in any shape or form and I would put money on Sancho> Van de Beek in terms of what he'd want, too.
This makes less and less sense with every action we have made this window.

To be fair I don’t think it’s to appease the fans. The BBC article even mentions they know many will be upset by it! Woodward has been a rumoured fan of Cavani for years. This is my issue though - who is making the footballing decisions at this club? Because I don’t think they’re very good. Except in the youth recruitment department where we’re genuinely outstanding.
I believe Cavani is the panic buy, we attempting to complete.
You got it all wrong. Ed said we can do things in the transfer no other club would dream of.
The Sancho deal won't be happening next year. It was now or never.
Next year, Sancho will attract many more suitors and we won't be able to compete with those clubs, who know how to negotiate for and buy players.
The Cavani deal is pure desperation.
Simon Stone's piece on Cavani says United are refusing to confirm that we're still in for Sancho.
I'm wondering if they're worried of the backlash if we confirm that we've signed Cavani and given up on Sancho at the same time.
You can imagine there will be some very very very upset fans.
