I don't know, he seems to have really hard line principles, which I think Sancho undermined.

Also Eth did give him a few months off in the season to get help - maybe he looks at Sancho as selfish.

Sancho is a very good player, and if we can get this team to the possession based team Eth is going for then I think he'll shine.
I always look at Maguire and McTominay, they seemed to be on they way out and they still ended performing for us. My point is, EtH doesn't seem to create a hostile environment for those on the outside looking in. Sancho is a very different case of course, but EtH did give the lad a way back in, he never said he can't return. We've seen his previous treatment of him, EtH has been very accommodating before.

ETH also let Sancho have extended leave for personal reasons for several months, Sancho then came back and disrespected the manager.

You seemed to have replied as I was editing my post. If EtH and Sancho work things out between them, I'll accept it. I'm not here looking to jettison anyone. Although I have been annoyed at times with the media's coverage of Sancho's time in Dortmund.

Ahh my bad sorry about that.

The club and manager can't afford to have any more passengers next season, it's bad enough having Antony, and it depends which version of Rashford shows up next season. Having Antony, out of form Rashford and Sancho as 3 of the wide options is asking for trouble, and relying on two young players in Garnacho and Amad all season isn't a great idea.

Realistically we get a decent ish fee for Sancho and replace him with someone like Olise.

Well I seen something last week that said he wants to fight for his United career but it depends on the manager that’s here
Remember a player is protecting their brand and their brand is themselves. Like a manager. So they are seldom going to publicly state exactly how they feel.

Look at what Sancho has done and look what he says. What has he done that makes you think what he says “I want to play for United” adds up ?

This is like that scene from Breaking Bad where Walter White calls his wife and says "I won".

I guess they weren't lying...they are clearly familiar with his game as they aren't willing to buy him.

He can have no complaints really. Three different managers at United, didn't play very well for any of them. 1 goal and 1 assist more than the much maligned Antony and the exact same amount of games played.

Hopefully juve open up their wallet
Dortmund and Juve - the bin sniffing racoons of world football. Neither are going to open up their wallets - they leave them at home in case anyone might expect them to pay for a drink.

I get the feeling he is the sort who would happily ignore the ramifications for his career and cheerfully accept a big pile of Saudi cash. I hope so anyway.
God that would be great. They love staying up late out there as well.

Offload him to whoever'll take him. I don't want to see him back. The poor attitude and application we've seen from him is unforgivable. We've taken the decision to back the manager now and it's clear that he and Sancho can't or won't work together. We should cut our losses and move on.

Sancho is clearly talented but over indulged. Would have faced the same treatment or worse under Sir Alex, Jose or Van Gaal and that says everything. He’s shown that he is unwilling to sacrifice for the club that rewards him handsomely. Happy to lean into the negative coverage around the manager or the club to further his self interest. Nothing controversial about the comments in the press conference that kicked this off or the terms laid out for his reinstatement after.

Well summarized. Can't wait to see him gone. We already have a ready made replacement in Amad.

If there ain't serious bids and now that INEOS are controlling all football matters, could they force ETH to use him ?
I think INEOS are smart enough to know that would be the wrong move.
