At least Louis knew how to run a defensive gameplan.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Ole has not shown he can buy the right defenders so far so I’d rather we didn’t tbh.
I'm still aboard the Sancho train but....
Your Jadon sat on your settee watching this, your agent calls...."Ed has been on the phone, offered the full whack, Dortmund have agreed n now it's just for you to say yes"
What would you do?

What would you do?
But there won't be, will there?
It's like being stuck in an infinite, hellish loop.
Our own boom bust cycle.
Moving home, getting paid considerably more? Would say yes regardless of fan bias.
This place will be a pit of despair if you don't sign him, especially with an international break.
If anyone’s going to cave it’ll be us after this shit show.
Zorc will probably put the price up £20 million after watching us today 
It has been a pit of despair for a while. Can't believe this thread has made 1300 pages in spite of everything pointing against this happening. Way too much weight has been given to Filtvedt, Eckner and Howard fecking Nurse. At least there's one more day until the caf realises it isn't happening, and then a season of fun awaits.
Looking at this dross, don't think signing Sancho will magically fix the team.
Why would he come? To play Europa??
Of course he would come.
We won't sign him. And we're stuck with Ole for the season as well. Fun times ahead.
Dropping 100 million is a big statement of intent though, certainly enough for some optimism.
Ed has such a punchable face. Have he been to turkey recently? New hair line and all that.
"N'hah! Our cunning plan to hold you to the wire shall prove genial!"
"Genau! Der Preis ist Jetzt 130 meeelion Euros, and not a penny less.
"Ed is a talking Wile E Coyote.
Does anyone really think Sancho is gonna fix all this? The way we've been setup has been a total shitshow from start to finish. Sancho or no Sancho doesn't fix this mess. That and it won't be happening regardless.
Question is, after the Spurs shit show, will our club back Ole with 120m?
Exactly.... nothing. Glazers are making money, they will sill suck the last drop of blood then probably when they see there is no life left they will end up selling the team probably. Hopefully sooner than later. But with fans still buying United merchandise, subscribing, etc nothing will change. Messi thought about leaving, half of Catalonia were out in streets. 11 years of agony with United and all we do is buying scarfs sold at Old Trafford
It's funny that you think we'll get europa this season.
Oh, I agree. And he is a player that any manager who replaces Ole will also play, so it won't be wasted money.
It's just that our problems spread far beyond the RW and possibly reach the bench.
Exactly. Not sure I would if it was my money.
I'd ask who's going to be coaching me
It's a signing we should be making irrespective of Ole.
Exactly. Sancho isn't going to fix the chasms in our midfield where Pogba and Matic run at 0.25 speed or our defence where Maguire exists.
The thing is, surely we have to realise, marquee signings won’t solve the entrenched problems of Manchester United?!
Yep, imagine spending 100m on Sancho with these glaring problems.
I'd prioritise bringing in the right players that will allow us to build a solid foundation, starting from defence and centre midfield.
The players ole has got in plus add Sancho in to that and a manager similar to poch will know how utilise them, they're poch type signings.
That's what I've been banging on about in the Ole out thread. Ole chose to go for the ultra-expensive targets when he should've gone for more players if he was as unhappy with his squad as has been suggested. I mean he's still got no choice but to put Lingard on the bench after four bloody transfer windows.
This transfer saga is turning into the equivalent of hitting on a girl, getting rejected and then periodically visiting her to scream about what she's missing out on while dumping buckets full of shit over your head.
Don't worry that the posts have reduced in this great thread once we knew we didn't get him when the window closes.
The Next United manager 20/21 edition is where we need to spend our time guys! Then there is Glazers/Ed out thread too!

Sancho is not going to make a difference anyhow. Players are not coached well enough. Spurs just looked more up for it than us.
Panic buying is going to go into overdrive now. We've struggled for our past 3 games in the league and show no signs of improving.
Wouldn't surprise me if we go all out for Sancho now, when to be fair, we need him and a whole host of other players.

We need divine intervention for this transfer to happen now. I hate football sometimes .
.United got their big name signing in Cavani
We havent had a proper RW for a decade and some here don't want Sancho?
People actually calling him a luxury signing. Honestly a lot on here deserve the slop we serve up.
Sancho just turned off the sports channel and promptly put his phone on silent... the prospect of hanging on a year in Dortmund and signing for Liverpool or City must be tempting.
We need a defence first and foremost.
That plane is making a U-turn as we speak.
