He did. But with Cavani also out our options are limited.
Greenwood And Bruno and a cert for the front 4. Rest is up in the air.
Options are:
1. Greenwood Bruno Martial James
2. Greenwood Bruno Pogba James
3. Greenwood Bruno Pogba Sancho
4. Greenwood Bruno Sancho James
5. Greenwood Bruno Martial Sancho
6. Greenwood Bruno Pogba Martial
I'm taking option 3 or 5 if Pogba is playing Midfield. James should not play. And Martial would probably be less fit than Sancho and Pogba with how long he has been out of football

Was he training alone? Not seeing any other players there
Just about to say that it looks to be the case. There aren't many pictures but I haven't seen him in the group with any other players on Getty Images.
To the people thinking he won't start for a while I think your forgetting we only have 3 other options
Martial: would be less fit than Sancho with how long he has been out.
James: Most people would play Sancho over James no matter what. As would I.
Pogba: Will be playing CM as well.
2 of those 4 have to play so Sancho will be in sooner than later. Very possibly from the first game.

He was phenomenal that game as well
What about Greenwood, Pogba, Bruno, Martial?
United released the video from today's training with Sancho on YT
Possibly. But I really don't see how Martial would be more fit than Sancho
Was very rusty in the game versus Everton
Thanks.
Definitely looks like solo work so they can see where he's at fitness wise then he'll probably be with the others tomorrow/Wednesday.
Ole might also think in terms of team chemistry. Sancho only will have about 5 sessions with the lads ahead of the game. But you might well be right.

Thank God there were no pictures with Woodward.
I actually think we probably intend picking the same XI that started against Everton unless something really pushes Ole into a change during training this week. I do think James is pencilled in to start and that is partially due to the opposition, the way Leeds play always leaves space at the back which suits James as an attacker, it is the low block that is his kryptonite and James is also the most consistent at tackling back and putting in a shift defensively which against the workrate of Leeds will be valuable. I believe Sancho will be introduced in the second half when he can have some fun running at tired legs.
At first thought he was training with one ear pod in his ear, something kids love to do for some reason. But, it was cotton wool, looked very weird.
Is that what it was? I thought AirPod at first but that seemed silly. Why did he have cotton wool?
Maybe. We will see. I think there will be a few changes.
It's funny that James is always cited at being able to expose teams with a high line and on paper it makes sense but we basically never see it.
I think he’ll start right wing. Our options are pretty limited - it’s basically him or James with Lingard, Martial, Rashford, Cavani and Amad not in contention to start for varying reasons.
Thank God there were no pictures with Woodward.
“just there is the tree scholesy could hit from 80 yards”

This is such a great meme worthy pic, so much to work with here.
I think so. From the training footage on YouTube today, it looked like he was doing fitness work, one to one with a coach.

Sancho looks like he wants to turn back and get some more of that slaps on the back
Leeds run for the full game and James comes into his own in these games and we can introduce Sancho in the following game.
We do not need to risk him in this game and it will give him more time to get up to speed training with his new teammates.
Got a fresh trim and all set for Saturday. Cannot wait to see him on the pitch.
The season could do with been postponed for a week , it feels like it’s too soon for the likes of Martial , Sancho and Varane
You're misremembering; his first game was against Southampton; we didn't play Leicester until several weeks later. He was good in that game too though.
I think there's a fairly good chance Sancho starts the first game of the season, but even of he's only on the bench, he'll be starting before you know it.
He’s referring to the 18/19 season. Not the season we signed him.
Reckon he'll get around 30 minutes agains leeds and the he starts the next match.
----------------------Martial------------------
James---------Bruno----------Greenwood
---------------Matic--------Fred----------
I'm guessing the above will start against leeds. Fairly happy with that.

Maybe my old eyes are playing tricks but, towards the end of the video when they have a close up, it looks like a shaggy piece of cotton wool.
We will need some protests and pitch invasion on friday!
Nope, different seasons, one after Euro 16, other after Russia 18.
I doubt Matic and James both start ahead of Pogba.
Aww, great this reminds me about Shaw's store and the Shaws Employee Benefits working at their store.

Ole looks way too excited, that’s not what a world class manager would do. #OleOut
I see this as the best way to tactically approach things. Start martial who needs the minutes most, rather than expecting him to come on and 'save' us. James gives us energy an direct game I believe we will need against Leeds. And Matic can hopefully carry on his pre season form next to Fred's enthusiasm. Fingers crossed bringing on Sancho, Pogba and MC T to close the game out and control possession.
Any images of Sancho training with the first team out yet? I was just wondering how likely he is to start the game against Leeds.
He will be on the bench, I doubt he will play more than 30 minutes. 1 Week of training isn't enough.
