I do find it incredible in 2021 it can seemingly take a week to sort out simple paperwork? Utd have bored their fans off this transfer.

:lol: What exactly are you waiting for and how exactly will you find it fulfilling?

The transfer is done, it’s literally just some boring paperwork left.

Time is near when all clubs will change their names to "football and transfer entertainment clubs". It's what fans want these days and sometimes the only thing they want, actual football be damned.

Have they tried turning the fax machine off and on again?

In all seriousness though, I would imagine the hold up is on the Sancho side. Perhaps technicalities with sponsorship deals and post-brexit legalities that need ironing out or maybe even something as boring as tax technicalities.

Maybe this will never be announced and he'll just show up.

Bit like RVP when he left for Turkey.

MUTV already shot an interview. He just need to sign acceptance of our savior Ed Woodward in his heart.

I'd love to know what's happening to make it take this long.

I bet its something completely unnecessary and daft.

Mad to think that there is somebody somewhere sat with the official announcement, pics and everything ready to go, just waiting to click send

When's the next kit due for release?

Probably waiting so they can flog those ones.

Only other reason for delay is someone doesn't want to give up his shirt number and needs some incentive

The board of the club found a new way to troll us transfer muppets, instead of just having long transfer sagas wich end up in tears. They now agree a transfer in principle and just dont make it official.
