No he won't Sanchez is denied US VISA because of his tax fraud conviction. He can only join the tour when the team leave USA for somewhere else.Read something on Twitter that Sanchez will connect with the rest of the squad later next week.
It's cuz he's Mexican.No he won't Sanchez is denied US VISA because of his tax fraud conviction. He can only join the tour when the team leave USA for somewhere else.
We don't know the detail. There was a chance We might have requested for waiver as soon as we confirm summer tour in US. As Key said, the process took longer than expected. We know the US under Trump is having changes in immigrant matter that affect the speed of process all these visa, waiver thing. Case may different but I heard someone from other department of my company was approved to enter the US, but has been waiting for his visa for 3 weeks!!! That person got approved and all. Waiveing may take more time.There really should be someone at Manchester United who is responsbile for making sure the playing staff can travel. The club has known for months both that it was going to the USA and that Alexis has a strike on his record. Plus Alexis has not been at the World Cup. Some time between the end of last season and now someone should have looked at the playing squad and taken the steps to make sure they could travel to the States.
The ONLY CHANCE !!!!!Disaster. Sanchez deal was a mistake in Jan with little time of team building, now the only chance of team building is gone. So how are we going to work out a Lukaku-less formation. It will be once again Sanchez plus the other 10 players.
We knew about this tour and Alexis for months. Getting a dispensation for this wouldn’t take months if everything was done correctly. He’s literally a public figure and rich enough that the US authorities would fast track the approval because this is for a work event and not for a personal holiday.Looks like it's an issue that's completely out of the club's hands and instead with the US. Can't exactly reschedule a whole tour to accommodate for one player either.
If he doesn't play games he won't be ready for the season. That is what these games are for.Couldn’t care less if he doesn’t play in these friendlys, as long as he’s ready come the start of the season.
Lukaku won’t be playing in them either.
BBC reporting there's a waiver scheme that they hope to use.No he won't Sanchez is denied US VISA because of his tax fraud conviction. He can only join the tour when the team leave USA for somewhere else.
Maybe it has taken months. I don't know, in truth. Unless you work for either United of US immigration (?) then I'm not sure how you're so confident with this viewpoint. Or do you enjoy criticising the club in spite of probable reality?We knew about this tour and Alexis for months. Getting a dispensation for this wouldn’t take months if everything was done correctly.

Most of the first team arent onntournanyway duento the world cup. So not sure how it impacts team building anyway.Disaster.

It'd be great if he could bang a few goals though. Still, worst case I assume he'll play a few U23 preseason games and bag a few anyway.Most of the first team arent onntournanyway duento the world cup. So not sure how it impacts team building anyway.
These games haven’t been for that reason in a long time. They’re about making money and building the United brand. Sanchez can build his fitness at home, then play in a few friendlies back in Europe. Hopefully in games where the WC players are involved. He’ll be fine. If anything, sitting out this tour will be the perfect end to a much needed summer of R&R.If he doesn't play games he won't be ready for the season. That is what these games are for.
Or the issue will be sorted in time.Sanchez gets denied a visa but somehow Trump gets mentioned. People are obsessed with the bloke.
He’ll be fine, he’ll be at carrington working on his fitness and play in the remaining games outside the US.
Least it will give more of a chance to Gomes and Chong to get game time
It isn't like the sentencing was a few years ago either. It was a week or two after Sanchez signed for us. The tour in the US was confirmed at the beginning of April so there would have been somewhere between 3-5 months to work on the visa issue. We have no idea how the immigration system would work in this case so the 3-5 months really might not have been enough, just sucks that he'll likely only play in the game against Bayern Munich before the season starts.Seems crazy that people are blaming United for this. You can't simply "get it sorted" if it's the law, and if there's a waiver scheme available I'm sure the lawyers of a club like United have done everything to get it done in time. Either that, or United knew, still took its chances with the situation and thought it wouldn't be that big of a deal that Sanchez would miss the USA part of the preseason tour.
There's no way United didn't know and it only came up now imo.
Agreed, working for an American company, I know too well that a Visa for someone without a suspended sentence, always has setbacks. You can plan months in advance and still end up panicking close to the move date and have to push it back.Seems crazy that people are blaming United for this.

Looks like Woodward has lost all his passion for the club similar to Abramovič. Sell to buy policy in probably the most important summer for United and Mourinho, and now this farce.
It would have taken one phone call to the right places to sort this stuff out but Ed did just nothing. Jose must be livid about it. I guess trust between Edwood and Mourinho is totally broken now.

You think Woodward has Vlad Putinesque powers of persuasion to resolve legal issues related to visas via a phone call? This isn't a James Bond movie you know.Looks like Woodward has lost all his passion for the club similar to Abramovič.

What, what? Strange, Mexico could have really used him in the WC if so)))It's cuz he's Mexican.
MAGA

Well if it's not a windup then it's alarming how you can come up with such conclusions.Looks like Woodward has lost all his passion for the club similar to Abramovič. Sell to buy policy in probably the most important summer for United and Mourinho, and now this farce.
