Dropping Pogba for Sanchez. It's Valentine's day today, not April fools day.
I presume he means for the CL game Pogba is suspended for.
Though he'll probably have to play up top if Martial and Lingard are injured.

Time for this man to earn his worth. This will be the true test to how 'finished' he is. 
Dropping Pogba for Sanchez. It's Valentine's day today, not April fools day.
Have I anywhere suggested we should drop Pogba for Sanchez?
I see where you're coming from and like I said earlier, the club can only benefit from having a firing Sanchez in our ranks so we all want him to do well
Now it's up to him to prove from now till the end of the season that he can still perform because current performances are not acceptable at all.
Like Ole said, it's up to him to prove himself and if he doesn't do well going forwards then he has only himself to blame.
Reading these posts I would think that Sanchez played for Stoke or West Brom and not a team that picked up 3 Fa Cups.
I've also seen the story of him colliding with the official and hurting his knee.
I'd have expected a video of it to have surfaced by now if true half makes you think it's been elaborated to save face for him a bit after such a poor performance.
I thought it was weird how we bought him on for about 30 seconds at the end of the first half usually we'd wait until the 2nd half and make do for those 30 seconds so maybe he did have the collision- BT showed him out doing a warm up and ball work at half time but thought at the time they wanted to use it as an extended warm up.
I don't really know how hes fallen so suddenly off a cliff. Surely he can't decline that quickly, I think Ole half said in his interview they're at a bit of a loss with him and need to keep trying to figure him out.
Also is it just me or does Martial seem to get injured a lot?

Yes, that's corcerning. Shades of Owen Hargreaves / Rafael there. No matter how much talent he got, if he cannot play consistently to find form with all those injuries then we need to get rid of him. I hope not.
He is our Chilean Falcao minus the major injury. Wait till he blossoms at his next club.
He is, to date the biggest disappointment for me as a United transfer, ever.
Imagine having to play him in that key game against Liverpool.
He would be best used as a striker near the box or as a false 9. He his wing play abilities have diminished even before he came to us. Wenger used a 343 to get m him play near the box. Any manager managing him needs to understand his strengths now to use him in a way he is effective.
That assist he made Vs Newcastle to Rashford from central position, that's the role I see him fitting in now. Rashford And Lukaku have to provide pace on the flanks given the injuries as we are a counter attacking team majorly. He is still good on the turn, and shields the ball way better than Lukaku or Rashford would do with his back to goal and bring teammates into play. I think that's the role he would fit in.
He's got this special skill of always looking like he's on the verge of losing the ball. Even after completing simple actions, you feel like a defender was a millisecond away from getting it. They say great players seem like they have extra time on the ball; he's the complete opposite.
You can't just get rid of a player because he's going through a bad patch, he needs an arm around the shoulder and fans getting behind him, it's not the utd way to give up on someone.
There's a difference between poor form and finished though. He's in the same situation as Rooney was. It's clear he's washed up and just an average player these days, being patient isn't going to change that.
The only way he will look half decent is if he's played as a striker, but he isn't better than Rashford anymore in pressing and work rate especially.
Therefore we need to move him on. This isn't a retirement home.
I think he will do another season to try to regain form. If he still isn't cutting it then it's likely we'll pay him off a settlement & send him to China on a free. He'd still be on more than he is now considering he could probably get £300K P/W in China.
He's probably the most disappointing signing we've had in a while.

Time to step up for him and Rom. They have to make it hard for Tony and Jessie to get back in the team
He’ll have his chance to try and contribute something with Jesse and Martial out for what are the biggest weeks of the season.
No doubt Sanchez will disappoint and we’ll have a few coming here to say “there’s a quality player in there, we just need to give him a run of games. I refuse to give up on him!”
It’s like the Rooney situation on steroids, as he’s much worse than even end stage Rooney was, and he doesn’t come with the emotional attachment we had to Wazza.

To think that all of this could have been avoided if some prickk from Arsenal didn't refused City's €50 million offer 6 months before we got him.
But then again with our luck, he would probably have turned into an unstoppable phenom if he went to City.

If he can score and help us to wins against Chelsea and Liverpool I'll forgive him but I'm really close to the end of my patience with him.
This is his time. He has the opportunity to erase a lot of the negative when it comes to him in the next few weeks. He performs well, even if we don't get all 3 point or wins, it will sit well with everyone. We need him
That is indeed wishful thinking....I think we will be counting the days until they are both fit again.
Awful decision that was. We got Mkhi instead of a big chunk of money which could have been used to improve the time instead of signing another deadwood.
How rare is it for a deal to go through and both parties come out of it worse than before, both feeling like they got the worse end of the bargain. This transfer really was something special
We should ship him out, same situation as Rooney but at least Rooney had a great career here, the problem are his wages. Maybe we can ship him out on a free and some MLS team or China team would want him.
I never want to see him on the left again.
He has a huge opportunity here to salvage some sort decent season.
Perhaps he could play Lingard's role or play on the right as we literally have no right winger.

Worst investment since Eva Braun's wedding ring.How rare is it for a deal to go through and both parties come out of it worse than before, both feeling like they got the worse end of the bargain. This transfer really was something special
Not just for while. Ever .
Quite incredible that the highest paid player in British football history is going to come in for Jesse Lingard and we're all dreading the weakening of the team that it represents.
I live in hope that a Chinese team will take pity.

I don't think I've seen him beat a player 1v1 since he's come here. Legs have well and truly gone.
He has a one hope left and that's false 9. These next two games if he showed his worth in the middle with runners off him people might change their minds. It's quite clear he's spent force on the LW .
He just needs to be more selfish in front of goal. Just shoot. Don't pass it to death. We are not Arsenal.
it's hard to say there's anything he's doing well
He's so wasteful in possession
is it confidence or have the legs gone? combination of both?

So true
If ole is named our permanent manager it could almost certainly mean curtains for Sanchez
So is his injury confirmed and he misses out or he's fit?
What. A. Post.
Might have beat a Yeovil Town player once or twice, to be fair to him.
