Would you accept a straight swap between Mason Greenwood and Jadon Sancho?

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.
Never
Absolutely not!
Hell no.
I wouldn’t swap Mason for Mbappe
Think we should have a poll for this one. It’s really neck and neck.
It’s stupid to say no. But no. I wouldn’t. Because I’m soft and romantic.
Sancho, if you're reading this, realize we want you at this club.
Someone get Devilish out of here. He's probably ringing up Sancho as we speak to convince him not to join.

I mean if I would have to choose between them then yeah I would obviously choose Sancho. Fortunately we can enjoy them together next season.
Mbappe?
Feck no!
Obviously no.
No. For me Greenwood is better than Sancho. Maybe because I am biased. There is just something special to see someone come up from academy and blow everyone away in first team.
I’d rather keep him and spend 100m of not my money to get sancho instead
Yes
NO
NO
I mean the answer is obvious. We're you expecting someone to say yes?
We still need Sancho though. Having Sancho and Greenwood competing on the right is better than having James, Lingard and shite on the bench.
The competition will help both to develop even further.

No, not because Sancho isnt a better player but because theres a lot of value in a player coming up through the youth system into the first team. One of the reasons I'm dissappointed with whats happened with Gomes
Alan Shearer's said that he can see Greenwood breaking his record if he stays injury free. He's without a doubt in the top five (some would even argue top three) attacking football talents in the world. No way I would swap him for Sancho.
If Greenwood had the same season he has for us but for Dortmund, I think he'd probably be worth the same as Sancho, if not more.
Obviously it would still be nice to see them playing together.

NO. Because what we need are rotation options. So NO.
Greenwood has got that romantic feel, and imagine the backlash if Sancho flops and Greenwood turns out to be top notch?
We are yet to fully exploit Greenwood's potential, and that's the main reason I wouldn't swap.

Interesting responses.
If people wouldn't swap the two, do they believe Greenwood will become one of the best in Europe?
And do they think we should pay up to 100m for a player who in effect will take Greenwood's current automatic place?!

No way, easily my favorite player in the squad.
can we ban whoever posts yes?
Maybe for Mbappe. No one else.
He won't take anyone's automatic place. He's competition. All 5 of Greenwood, Martial, Rashford, Fernandes and Sancho would get tons of games. You raise your game, you get to play. Plus chuck in inevitable injuries and all 5 would be happy playing for just 4 spots.
I wouldn’t swap him for anyone. Why even support United if you’d so easily bin off our exciting young players. I wouldn’t swap him for Mbappe or anyone. The question is pure insanity.
Surely there is at least one Dortmund fan on here?
Sancho will strengthen our attack, and in my opinion won't be long before he's our most important attacker (assuming he does come), but Mason's potential is frightening and he's a Carrington graduate, so swapping him would be silly.
Sancho is a needed addition, we've witnessed how our quality levels drop as soon as our starters need to be rested. In 2 years time, both Sancho and Greenwood will be permanent fixtures of our attacking trio.

No thanks.
NO
Dortmund needs money and already got clinical finisher in Haland.
Sanchez plus cash, they can even have Bailly if they manage to fix his brain.

James, Lingard, Mata have played respectively 44, 37, 34 times this season, Greenwood himself played 46 games and he wasn't even a regular 1st half of the season. Sansho might take his automatic place but he'll have enough starts and appearances that won't hinder his devlopment.
I don't think it's a good idea to fully depend on an 18-year-old either however talented he is. So, this actually should help him taking some of the pressure off after a debut year like this one. Also, in a season that will start very close to the current one, having 4 forwards who are very close in quality is more important than ever.
No chance
Considering I'll be disappointed if Mason doesn't end up our all time top goalscorer, I think the answer will be a no.
Of course, having both is the goal and the expectation.

Next question - would you swap Dalot for Bayern’s canteen staff?

No. To see an academy product come through the ranks, play for the team who they support and be a success is always special.
I would swap him for Mbappe. No one else.
Reasonable. I wouldn’t though. Something magical having our academy product and a son of a big United fan doing the business for us. This is really why I love this club.
