We need to move on. He will propably end up in Liverpool. We can only hope that he won't be THAT good. Drtmund can hope that there will be interest for that price. Anything can happen (COVID, injury...).

We go again boys!! Choo choo!
(Most likely bollocks to quieten the disgruntled fans)
I do worry if we try to sign him in 12 months. The deadline will be closed then!
Miss out on the best talents, lads.
But 3 players who have every chance of being first choice players isnt a bad window.
It may not be enough to challenge for the title etc but we were never going to sign 5 or 6 first choice players in this window nor were we ever tipped to be.
This,exactly this.This transfer window was in many ways a combination of the first 2 transfer windows under Woodward....Those 2 windows were quite dreadful to say the least...
I don't think that Cavani has what it takes to be first teamer. Considering his age and injury record I'd be happy if he can be of use tbh. Telles is a great attacking wingback but that will leave space at the back. Can Maguire and Lindelof/Bailly cover for that as well? I doubt it. VDB can be quite useful tbh. However Ole seem to be Pogba's groupie. I'd add Henderson to the list as well but the Norwegian seem to be in his fan club as well.
Sir Alex would have taken this team and he would have made it work. Ole is not Sir Alex.
Absolutely no chance he picks us if teams like Bayern, Real and Liverpool come in for him next year. We blew our one chance to get him.Tweet

I can certainly see Barca being interested. I’m guessing that’s the Spanish team that has been in touch with Dortmund. It’s pretty certain Messi will exercise his release for free next summer. That will release over £60m a year in wages they were giving messi. I’m sure they’ll try and find a way to fund it, even with installments.
The English club has to be Chelsea for me. They could offer him everything he wants from the prem, location etc
Basically, United won't pay the big bucks for the top players.
Tell us something we don't know.

Yeah, these journos were not to be trusted and now they're becoming painfully transparent. Dogs of the Glazers and Woodward.
Doubt he'd ever be a Man Utd player. Not sure if wer would even be in contension if we don't have CL football.
Imo Woody /Glazers should have given it say a month till the end of August chasing Sancho. They should have made a couple of publicied offers. When nothing materialised they should have publically said it was going to cost £250 million maximum with fee, salary, agents fees etc. This was too much and would now look at other targets. 2 things would have happened. We would have put it to bed and then we would have had 5 weeks to get signings in. If we had have gotten 2 or a max of 3 over the 5 weeks it would have made the board seen in a different light. The other side of the coin maybe would have made Dortmund have a rethink and we may have been offered Sancho again at a lower price as they may have thought we was no longer bothered.
In reality all it did was piss Dortmund off that we were in for him and only started to bid when the press reported we were waiting for them to crumble, and then we had to do all our business on the final day and it comes across then to the world as panic buying and makes Utd the laughing stock.

We dont have the cash for Sancho fair enough. But buy someone else! City couldn't afford Kouilabaly they bought Dias instead. Simple as that.
I would also add he hasnt shown anything special playing for England either
Oh ya. Media loves slating United all window for lack of transfers and then go back to supporting the leeches who are ruining the club.
If the price Dortmund wanted was way above what we could afford, we would have walked away much earlier and looked at other targets that were available. We kept stoking the flames on the Sancho rumour is because we were not planning to get in any quality RW. But we wanted the press to go on and on.

Correct but I think his agent may have dragged it on hoping that United may give in at the last minute?
I think we will play 3 at the back. Shaw will play LCH behind Telles.
and this, folks, is the truth
they’ve only been here 15 years and still people dont get it
dont give me this shit about what they’ve spent because of ever-changing managers they appointed with different requirements. We had a title winning side that were disbanded and inadequately replaced and it didn’t get any better. Look at the circus with the absolute failure that Pogba has been.
Imagine we would pay more for him next summer. Will have this brief look silly. Never happen before!?
They will sell Sancho to Bayern for 65 million, after Salihamidzic takes Zorc for dinner and a show. If only Matt Judge was able to perform a reach around!!
Zorc sounds like a Bond-villain, but no Bonds at United to make the deal. More like Mr Bean taking care of business here.
I don't think he wanted to come. He had no problem acting up when he wanted to go to Dortmund when he was at City.
I rather despise the idea that if you don't act up like a arsehole, you're not into the move.
It's perfectly reasonable to act gentlemenly even if you don't get what you want in the end.
Same here, decided to put in ignore until something happened. It never did so it's still on ignore. Could be interesting to look at one day.
Our top target next year should be Haaland. He is much better than Harry Kane and won't cost that much due to his release clause next year. We need a world class striker like him and he is still very young.Tweet

No it isn't the truth. The have spent the big bucks on the players. We have routinely broken premier league transfer records since SAF left. Ergo they've spent the big bucks. Unfortunately thats all been on not very good player that haven't worked out, and more likely than not after 6 years of reckless spending the coffers have run dry a bit. Lack of spending isn't the biggest issue at this club, far from it. Not having the club run by footballing people IS the biggest issue.
Shame the journos can't shut the feck up. It was the same crap all last year if we get CL football Sancho will come and all this rubbish and we all know how that ended.
I'll say what I've said since day one Jadon Sancho will never be a man utd player.
For a minute when everyone reported personal terms were agreed I got sucked in but then I saw the €120m fee and knew this will never happen. If we had decent owners we could have had both him and Haaland in our team now but instead we are stuck with the charlatan Glazers and ended up with 2 unknown 18 year olds instead.

What’s his release clause?
Won't happen.
It means sacrificing our creativity spark in exchange of helping out the defence, the same defence Ole spent around 145m upon. No wonder why he's not trusted with big money anymore.
In my opinion we should go 4-3-3
------------------Henderson--------------------
AWB----Bailly-------Maguire-------Telles
--------------------Matic-------------------
------------VDB----------Bruno--------------
Greenwood---------------------Rashford----
--------------------Martial----------------------
4-4-2 diamond
----------------Henderson-------------------
AWB------Baily------Maguire-------Telles

-------Greenwood/Rashy-----Martial--------------
Luckily I was resigned months ago that we weren't going to get him, so didn't get onboard the Sancho train.
Saying that, I feel we blew our chance to sign him this window. His price will steadily decrease due to the continual impacts of Covid, and other clubs will be in for him at that point. Also, with our shithouse transfer window in general, there's every chance we're not going to over-achieve like we did last year and scrape top 4; which makes it even less likely we're able to make signings of his calibre.

Diamond suits our personnel far more than the shite we're playing currently. Especially now we have a full back that can go forward. We have an overly excessive amount of average midfielders, so at least diamond makes use of them, I suppose. Currently having the stupid amount of midfielders we have fighting over 2 spots is ridiculous; especially when Ole is hesitant to drop Pogba - despite his woeful form. So that leaves one spot, which needs to be a defensive minded midfielder, to make up for Pogba's lack of defensive capability.
Diamond lets us play Pogba forever, (which seems to be the case anyway), while letting us play other players that can actually have an impact in midfield.
I don't have any juice left in me, time to retire as a muppet..Tweet

It’s like a forced hostage statement, contradictory and full of confusion. “This is not the first time they have abandoned a significant move because they felt it would be financially prudent” - should not that read “because they felt it would NOT be financially prudent to pursue it”?
Unless if he’s available below 90m next year which he won’t be, we should move on. Centre back & midfield to replace Matić or even Pogba (1.5 years left contract) is also priority next year.
NOONE is better than Kane bro. Maybe Lewa. they are the benchmark.
Bro, the deals were unreasonable. Why did no big clubs sign them at the time then? Do other big clubs not have decent owners? Y'all obsessed. There could be truth that Harlaand wanted release clause or agents wanted huge commissions. Everyone and anyone would step away hence why they at Dortmund.
We have let in 11goals in 3games I think he will want to stop that being 14/15 in 4 and that's why I think he will add the extra body in defence
He could have a mediocre season and we might start to see the real effects of covid come through.
I think there’s more chance his price will decrease next year, than increase.
If you look at what clubs spent, the PL was down 7%, and if ie wasn’t for Chelsea’s transfer ban, that’s difference would have been far higher (they would have spent more last year, and less this year).
Every other big league has seen dramatic decreases in transfer spending.
That might suggest the need to change coaches or the manager in question as well. You don't spend 145m in defence only to add more bodies at the back else they get ridiculed.
