Looking forward to seeing him under Ole. Think he will be a different player altogether. Ok, maybe not completely different, but making more assists and scoring more goals than he has done.
 
I hope he comes out as our no 7 should be under ole, and i think he will. It will be damn exciting to see.

At the moment i think he should be playing as a striker though or right wing or may be at 10 in a diamond in the middle.
 
Our passing movement under Jose is not good as Ole, Matic looked better and finally can make forward simple a pass and is in control of the midfield, Pogba looks better 10x player, so does Herrera, Martial and Rashford too. Sanchez lost possession because he was always trying to make something happen.



Imagine him in Lingard's position, we'd be increasing our creativity and goal input with Sanchez in rather than Lingard and we'd be looking better 10x time on the counter-attack with Sanchez. Sanchez is so important player for us against top sides if they attacked and leave space and we can hit them on the counter with Pogba and Sanchez. Sanchez can make Pogba be more like Lampard when making run into the box and score header like in City games.
 
The worst thing Ole can do is shoehorn Sanchez back in this side and displace Martial or Rashford. If Sanchez can’t play on the right then he should warm the bench or be sold.

He shouldn’t even displace lingard at the moment because lingard work ethic is far greater and does not act like a prima donna on the pitch.

I think he can be better than lingard though, who knows better than martial or rashford as well. It does not mean we have to block their chances coming through but on top form he can be our best attacker as well like we know he can play.
 
Looking forward to him playing under a more progressive manager. Replaces Rashford or Lingard across the front line.

This new style is built to his strengths.

From what I have seen of Sanchez, the only way that he can be our beat attacker is if he plays on the left or as the striker. In a role that he prefers and has had some of his best games. And for that to happen, Ole would need to disrupt the current team balance. Unless he can work some magic and make him a better attacker playing on the right then.

He won't displace anybody. It will be more of a rotation. We have plenty of games left so everyone will get to play a lot.

He can be a top attacker on the right as well, and he is more deadly in the box than lingard, that's for sure. He likes to press and his workrate is not a question as well he is great at that.

It will be interesting to see how ole uses him, if they all need to play together than a 2 striker system could be an option as well. Even if anyone comes off the bench in a 433 Not a bad situation for a manager to have.

Also last night i saw martial on the right on few instances, and if its all fluid like that Sanchez will prove to be better than lingard for sure.

I am not a fan of constant rotation. I rather we have a fixed first eleven like most top teams who wins title and have players who are ready to step up once requested. However, rotation is working well for City and perhaps we can work that same strategy here at United by displacing Martial or Rashford like Pep did with Sane early on and then bringing him back into the team if Sanchez can’t play on the right :lol:.

That is shoehorning when you need to change a working system to fit a single player. I agree though that it is good to have more option to choose from. It gives us more choices to choose from if a player is underperforming or needs rest. I also saw Martial playing on the right, but he didn’t look as comfortable and not very threatening. It will be interesting to see how this works out.
 
Replaces Rashford? Honestly only on the Caf...
Funnily enough, I think that will be the most like for like change in regards to make the system work. Both Lingard and Martial offer something that isn't as easy to replace while Sanchez as a striker might take up similar positions to what Rashford does. Although you could probably play Rashford left instead of Martial but the latter hasn't signed a contract so probably better to give Rash a rest instead and keep rubbing the frenchman right

Replaces Rashford my ass.
 
He'll complete our attack when he starts playing in our new set up. Rashford moves all over the place, he'll get plenty of time centrally. Honestly can't wait cause if he starts playing well, I'll argue top 4 will be far from out of reach.

Replaces Rashford my ass.

Let's not pretend he's always been as good as he always s been the last 2 games. His work rate is excellent but he's yet to show the potential of pure class.

An in form Sanchez replaces everyone in the league outside of Salah and Hazard. Martial is undroppable for Lingard, Lukaku and Rashford.

The obvious question is: can Sanchez recapture his form, though.

I think you just have a certain opinion on Rashford.

The finishing of Danny Welbeck, but Danny is a much better player.

Finally people are opening their eyes about how good (or bad) Rashford actually is. I was slated on this forum any time I criticized him. He's a terrible winger and an even worse striker. He is literally a Championship level player and is showing no signs of having improved since his debut nor is he showing signs of any sort of future potential.

We wonder why we're so bad and yet we have terrible or past it players in every position it the (apart from De Gea, Pogba, Shaw & Martial).

Literally a championship level player apparently.

For the record, Rashford is way more talented than Luke Shaw.

And 2 good games under OGS changes the my opinion? Nope.

I don't get the % of the Caf overrated of him. Sure, he might turn it around but he's been a starter/subbed on the past 3.5 years and hasn't shown that spark that he can be a top player. As I've said before, even Darren Gibson could score a banger. You'll see I'm not alone in my opinion either if you search through the match threads or Rashford thread.

As I said in the Bournemouth match thread I'm one of his biggest critics but he was easily 9/10 yesterday. But one or two good game doesn't change what he has offered the club previously. Is this the start of him turning into a better player? Who knows. But until he does I'll give credit when its due but won't change my opinion.

For the record, as I'm an United fan, I'd love to be proven wrong.

Hes been in good form for the last 8 games actually

So you still think he is a championship level player? :lol:

You are literally just wrong.

And for England. He's shown want a good player he can be over the past 3 years. He's a young player - he's going to be inconsistent. Not every player is Wayne Rooney at 21. Look at where RVN or Drogba were at 21, players need time to develop. We have a cracking player on our hands, and it's a shame some people can't see that.
 
Hope Sanchez rediscover his form and replace Lingard. I don’t feel Lingard is XI material. Just a squad player, very average.
 
Yesterday was a pretty fluid front 3.

Almost Martial left, Rashford right and Lingard as a false 9. Lingard in this position gives Rashford, Martial and Pogba to drive past him, one of the main reasons Pog got 2 yesterday.

Next minute we see Martial right, Rashford upfront and Lingard on the left.

Sánchez could be a direct replacement for Lingard in this set up and we could thrive.
 
I can't see him working on the right tbh. He doesn't really have the pace to be effective there, he is a bit of a ball hog and far from tidy to play Lingard's role, and he is not as willing to run off the ball as Lingard.
He is very good at cutting in, beating his man on the inside, linking up with his teammates in the middle, chipped balls and crossfield passes, but I can't see him doing those things from the right. His style just doesn't seem like something that'd fit a right footed player on the right wing. He'd probably try to cut in everytime, and keep losing the ball.
 
Maybe the case, I can't remember any Jose's games this season as they all bored me to death the same way :lol:



I forgot we weren't entitled to opinions on the Caf, my apologies @haram

If you really think Rashford is a championship level footballer you have never seen him play, never seen any championship football and are most probably blind.

Thanks for clearing that up.

He's been far better than Sanchez the entire season. Looks pretty essential to the forward line under Ole. Don't see anyone replacing him unless he's rested/injured or dips form.
An inform Sanchez of a few seasons ago was a nailed on starter, not so much now...

Sanchez was also held back by Mourinho, just like every other player.

Couldn't agree more. My post was just hypothetical though.

My thoughts too. Sanchez won't be tracking back anymore , he'll replace Lingards position in a fluid front three . If you remember Lingard ended the Cardiff game as false 9, it is tailor made for Sanchez

He won't b tracking back, but should be pressing and also track back when we need to( that's when we don't have the ball and are in a vulnerable moment). Rest just focus on playing on the shoulder of last defender while on the ball and attacking. I am already exited to see the new Sanchez under new tactics.

I hope we put fear of Manchester United back in opponents.
 
With Ole's attacking philosophy...

If we got a front three of Martial Rashford Sanchez clicking, top 4 would be more than certain I would say. Those three in a fluid system switching all over and Pogba supplying them left, right and center. Very few teams would now how to contain us let alone dare to attack us. Most games would be won before a ball is kicked.
 
The left hand side must be shaw, pogba and martial, they just link perfect together, keep sanchez away from pogba's side has he always ran into pogba would run, and it seemed Jose would do this on purpose which makes me more mad at Mourinho even more, now having herrera and sanchez on the right which I find the more work man like side, where they will run and run and press, you factor rashford has our no9 pressing from the centre, its a defensive nightmare for teams. But lingard is doing well so he will have to wait.

Possible
matic
herrera pogba
sanchez rashford martial

herrera sanchez and rashford's more energetic pressing, with the class of Pogba and martial, that combination could be deadly

I'd play Lindelof and Smalling instead but with the freedom we've seen from our forwards I really like that front 3.
