It's great that the club resolved the issue like a proper top club. The hag, fans, and club were behaving like it was high school.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) get the depressing job of reviewing United's 3-0 loss at Old Trafford to Liverpool. They discuss what went wrong, Casemiro's day to forget, and the pressure now on Erik Ten Hag. They also take some time to give McTominay a proper farewell, and give their overall thoughts on the Summer Transfer Window.

Pragmatism all around. The club knows we paid too much. His value has dropped. His wages are silly. Hopefully, he's grown up and will have a point to prove. I'm not sure what Ten Hag said but Sancho's argument is believed to have been "beans, beans, beans,.....
If he's good enough then he'll play. If the others are not performing and still starting over him then ETH, being on the short leash he is on, will be sacked and he gets a chance under a new manager.
Whereas the player responsible was the very picture of maturity and professionalism?
He absolutely does not need to train with the first team for him to get his wages. He did not train with the first team for months last season.
He let the club down last year, regardless of your stance on who was right between them. Refusing to apologise and basically going on strike until he got his move. We need to get rid of these characters.Clearly not a buyer there and a loan makes no sense now. Can anyone genuinely see this working out this season?
Maybe that manager power is slightly going from Hag. Whilst Glazers have Hag a free rein, we now have a board who decide who and who does not leave.
Didn't expect it but I don't mind. Not sure where he'll fit in though.
Hmm I don't love this. It makes me feel like no one was willing to pay up and we couldn't have such a hug paid player in the sidelines. I hope I'm wrong and he did apologise and that they buried the hatchet. Still think the most likely scenario is that he's sold or loaned again. I don't expect great things from him regardless.
Hope this is primarily for strengthening our position in the transfer market, and not truly a path to a starting spot for Sancho.
1. He is not good enough to be a long term starting winger. He may have a lot of potential, but is one of those players whose mentality will never let them reach it. 9 invisible games before a 10th one where he looks sublime is why we failed with Pogba.
2. Being better than Antony is the lowest possible bar, and not what our standards should be. Antony himself should be shipped out. I'd rather we tried Amad to see if there's a top player there.
3. His very presence on the pitch undermines an already undermined manager. Sets a terrible example for how to behave when faced with criticism, given how he has still not apologized for his unprofessionalism. Why should younger players coming through accept criticism when the alternative is a loan to CL clubs whose PR team works for you before being integrated back next season for the very manager, club, teammates, and fans you publicly disrespected?
4. His wages are too bloated to not cause discontent in the squad. Sends the wrong message for what we wish to reward going forward.
5. Weakens our bargaining position with disrespectful/want-away players going forward, starting with Sancho himself.
A leopard never changes its spots. Sancho had plenty of second chances, he does not deserve any more at United. Hope the whole stadium boos him every time he plays for us this season.

Right course of action. Hopefully the manager knows better than singling players out after losses, moving forward
Ffs this again? It was a complete nothing statement that Sancho threw a hissy fit over.
Ten Hag didn't single him out after a loss. He was asked after a loss why Sancho hadn't been picked, and he said because others had trained better.
We later learned that what actually happened, was that during training Sancho had been asked multiple times to press properly and had refused to even attempt to do so. Eventually he was told he could either press properly or he was welcome to leave the pitch, to which he opted to walk off.
This is the same guy we saw half arsing sit ups last summer when he knew the cameras were on him, letting us only imagine the standard of his training when he's not being filmed. The same guy who has arrived late for training multiple times, at multiple clubs, because he likes staying up late playing computer games. A guy who the manager had used his personal connections to send over to Holland during the previous season, sacrificing him from the squad at a crucial time in the campaign, so he could get his head right.
This is the guy you are opting to back over the manager of the football club. These are the standards some of you want to encourage.

He needs to be moved on. Shit attitude for a shit player.
He won’t be playing and will soon be throwing a strop again.

I'm referring to Ten Hag, just to be clear.
He'll just stop playing as soon as the extra cash in guaranteed
If ETH can forgive and maybe even forget, then fans should do the same. And at least Sancho is better than Pellistri.
Good to hear, but Sancho has really let down the club and the fanbase. Time to work hard and put in some effort.
get him in good condition both physically and mentally during preseason to show these two can co-exist however keep the door open for him to be sold
Why all the hate? He didn't shit on club like Diva no7, he isn't sick bastard like Greenwood, he didn't said anything against club or teammates, he didn't refuse to play. He felt insulted (right or wrong) because manager said what he said and fought back.
Quality wise; he is a good player. So, what is the problem exactly?

This is his 4th season, if he stays. He isn't going to change.
It’s never Sanches fault.
It’s the bad captain (Bruno), bad fullbacks (Wan-bissaka, Telles), bad managers (Ole, Eth), bad positions (LW, RW, CF), bad club (United)
Still…Welcome back Sancho. Best of luck in all the games you play for the club

I meant while Sancho was actually playing here and if you double Sanchos minutes it’s really close and everyone loves Garnacho
I can see Sancho and Rashford having good seasons now.
He's not good enough.
Unfortunately other clubs seem to have noticed as well, so we're stuck with him.
