He claims to have worked for United in the 90's, but I can't find anything on him anywhere else online.He's a fake account who turns up every year.

There are only 2 ways to know any transfer story, one through official channels like club officials or and other through through agents. They are football journalists and that's how they get news.
In what role or capacity did he work for United? A janitor?
Because he doesn't exist. Fake name, fake picture. There was loads of them who did the rounds a few seasons ago, some got bored and some like this weirdo keep going every year.
Every man and his dog, not just some random fake ex-United scout.
People are weird
Janitor scout.
Maybe we didn't leak it, who knows.

Could be
That assumes someone would have blabbed to him
So you're only effective if you know everything? By not knowing he was offered a contract in secret last year, does that invalidate everything hes been bang on about in the past, and everything he says in the future? Little unreasonable when you think about it, no?
Some of you will believe anything. No wonder Reddit ITKs keep going.
That is true. Given how we are onr of thr kicking boys on sm at the moment, no reason to assume he wouldn't tell the fans
So as per Fab, are Dortmund demanding we pay €120 million up front? This is all getting very tiring now.

Dortmund are able to demand whatever they want because Sancho is contracted to them for a few years, they aren't forced to sell for anything, they have every right to demand 120million for their player. Honestly as good as Sancho is I think we'd be absurd to pay it, and I don't think we will either.
Sounds like it
Unpopular opinion: don’t buy Sancho and get a few players in instead to strengthen the squad.
Financially clubs are stretched now, in another 6 months without crowds it will be a lot lot worse, United should just bid what the can afford and move onto other targets. Then try adding Sancho next summer as the final piece.
Plenty of other areas to improve in the mean time.

A retired ex United scout writing bollocks on twitter, sounds about right, because that is what retired scouts do.

I think this is the key - As soon as Dortmund demanded a big up front amount for Sancho I think the deal was dead in the water - Utd are an incredibly rich club but in the current situation not even Utd will be spending £80million+ upfront on anybody. The entire bottom has fallen out of every clubs finances and due to the ongoing uncertainty it's unlikely to improve for some time.
Jeesh, 740 pages of the same back and forward...
Yeah he's clearly not ITK with the things he's called wrong.Sergio Amara

That said experienced scouts you would expect have good contacts within the game.
We won't be getting Sancho next summer, especially if we spend this years transfer budget on some squad fillers. Next year more clubs will be in a position to get Sancho, especially if we are hoping for the price to come down. Certainly improving other areas is another option though, and then hoping Greenwood can play a full season, most likely would be a few squad options and keep some of Lingard/Mata/Pereira
This isnt happening
Why we don't go for this young player from Madrid that Dortmund are 'apparently' lining up to replace Sancho. No doubt he will be absolute mustard if Dortmund want him.
I think it's a loan without buy option, which is what Dortmund often do (see Hakimi) but Manchester United pretty much never does.
Edit: assuming you mean the Reinier business, which is official by now.
No.1: He's not a Sancho replacement as they don't even play the same position
No.2: He's already signed and been announced on a 2 year loan with them
He isn’t worth 120 and I could never fault Woodward for overpaying. Let’s just hope Dortmund wise up and we can all come to a manageable agreement. Also hope we have something in place because time is running out. We need 3 good players to compete for the league.
If we don’t get Sancho, we don’t need to necessarily need to target another winger instead. We need to start thinking in terms of who else (regardless of position) is available that will add 10-15 goals to our tally next year or help concede less goals.
- Upecamo will certainly reduce goals conceded by 10.
- Partey will contribute to increasing goals by 5 and reduce goals conceded 5.
- Sancho would have been someone that would have increased the goals tally by 10-15.

Ah right. Assumed he was a winger as they just bought Haaland.
If Sancho wants to come, he has to put forward a request to leave and that will put Dortmund in an uneasy position. I believe we could afford him but Woodward is being spot on and saying not at that price, in this climate. If Sancho stays quiet, he stays with BvB, if he speaks out and requests a transfer, then he will come to is; imho.
Says who? His stats and age etc would say otherwise.
Absolutely mind boggling how you and other fans can think Sancho is not worth 120m. Such lazy blazey comments. You most definitely haven't watch Sancho play enough to come to that conclusion.
Its amazing how fans can be so easily persuaded that Brooks is suddenly a good alternative to Sancho.
Or they have a difference of opinion...
I think we're having to wait for the Smalling sale first to raise extra cash.
No that's not what I'm saying but isn't it funny that the only impressive inside information was missed by every ITK/journalist?
All the other speculations are not verifiable and easy to just make up.
Hence why their opinion is mind boggling.
No, just not in installments over 4-5 years. Fab never said up all up front I think.
The most quoted payment structure has always been a big sum upfront + installments next year and the year after.
