I'm not sure the manager or fans will care as long as we have a world class talent. Besides you have to factor in the reduced fee as an overall package.

I'm not that bothered as well re: Sanchez. Think he's been awful this season(yeah I know he's played with a cba attitude, but still).
If we get him, alright. If not, other players out there.
Not worth the hassle of going out and doing it ourselves, but if Arsenal/Sanchez and trying to squeeze money out of a reluctant City, we're not about to stop them.
I'm sure he's well aware of his fate at this point.
I feel like I’m in an alternate universe. Sanchez will only sign for United over City if he is a mercenary and wants money over everything else.
Knowing our luck it'll drag on all month, so we miss out on going for anyone else.
Feels like a waste of time if I'm honest. I just can't see it happening when all the talk leading up this window was Sanchez wants to work with Pep again.
This lad is a City fan, head firmly inserted up Pep's arse. Claims that Sanchez turned down Bayern and PSG for Pep. Following all the speculation it seems obvious that both Bayern and PSG pulled out due to Sanchez's crazy wage demands, which seem to be the sticking point with City here. PSG couldn't afford such an expensive transfer after Mbappe and Neymar whilst Bayern would never throw that kind of money at a deal.
Maybe he wants to play LWB under Jose
Would imagine Jose would use him central(I hope) if he came.
I thought it was always about money though? I might be mistaken him and Ozil's case but didn't Sanchez want to renew a year or so ago for massive monies?
To be fair if Sanchez plays RW (basically not seeing Martial out of the team) he is worth £300k a week to us. He's not worth that much to City though as they actually don't need him at all.
We'll win the wages/money war just because our need is greater but it's all down to the player. Unfortunately though, I believe the player only has one team in mind. Can't blame him, he's basically getting a league medal as soon as he signs.
Still odd to me considering how poor Sanchez was for Barca under Pep and Pep himself berated him on 1 occasion for lacking the balls to play after an injury.
Though iirc, I read something a while back where Pep said he thinks Alexis thrives better centrally and he couldn't use him there because of Messi.
Are we a club of mercs then?
Feel like most footballers are mercs now tbh.
Not really! Lukaku to Chelsea was all but done after the season was finished.
400,000. That's crazy money. Can see why City don't want to spend that on someone who's probably going to be on the bench most of the time.
He's actually a United fan, believe it or not, but has close ties and reports on City.
He also made out VVD was a priority for City like 24 hours before Liverpool announced him.
He's going city, united don't have a chance.
I don't really believe these stories. Of course United are interested in a fantastic player like Sanchez.. But I think all these stories are just part of negotiations tactics, and he will end up at City sooner or later.
I don't know if he'd be on the bench most of the time. Probably rotated at times with Jesus.
Aguero would be the biggest loser in this if Sanchez went there.
I always saw him as a bit of a mercenary but he’ll definitely pick City. It’s not like he’ll be going to play for free.
Wenger refused to confirm if United have moved for him and offered Mkhitaryan the other way.
I'm strapped in and along for the ride, and allowing my Muppetness to take over. Why is everyone being so defeatist? In all likeliness he will still end up at City as they have been doing the groundwork for this transfer for the last 10 months or so, but I'm glad to see it looks like we are definitely in for him and looking to seriously try and compete with City for a player they are desperate for.
If he picks them, well fair enough, it's been in motion for a while with them and move on. If he picks us, we get a fecking mint player Either way, let's just enjoy the ride for a change guys! I've longed for another transfer muppet saga...

Wenger on Sanchez: "Nothing is really concrete at the moment. It is not that I don't want to inform you, it is that I don't want to give you the wrong information."
We'd might win the fight against Spurs and Arsenal for Malcolm
Tbh, even all of the press, the club and manager seemed to think that.
They've always talked and are the primary drivers in any profession. success and wage.

Arsene Wenger on Sanchez to #MUFC reports: "Honestly, I can’t tell you much more at the moment about the situation. Nothing is concrete at the moment."
Martial --- Lukaku --- Sanchez
Pogba-------Matic------Lingard
Shaw--Jones----Rojo--Valencia
-------------DeGea--------------
That would be our best line up if Sanchez actually ends up at Old Trafford.

It's 'only' £50 million. Sanchez is easily worth £50m.
Simon Mullock adding the wages is just silly.
VVD was £75m, but we don't say he cost Liverpoool £106m in January (including assumed wages of £150k per week for 4 years).
He can have Mkhitaryan!
Not your typical response from Wenger, he usually bats any question like that away, something is definitely happening one way or another.
Well that makes it simple then, He is coming to United
Mikhitaryan is a more than capable replacement.
I'm sure Jose made that phone call...
Yeah I was just about to say this. He was denying City made a bid for him the other day.
I think Wenger would like Mkhitaryan.
Or maybe it's two different sets of people with two differing opinions?
