Another guy Ole’s signed that he’s no clue on how to utilise properly.

This will probably be a reason more than results why the owners will lose patience. Same happened with Fred for Mourinho then he got pissy about not being backed
Sancho joins VDB and Amad.
There’s an alternate reality somewhere where these guys are absolute flourishing under a progressive, tactically adept manager.
Sancho would of been good in this game where they’ll be space, hopefully he gets on late in the game and shows us why we bought him.
Maybe we should get a manager that can actually use Sancho?
Amen
£75m just to chill on the bench along with a £40m midfielder. Great management.
And some journalists were saying Ole wanted Sancho to be his first signing at United. His handling of Sancho so far is damning.

Tried signing him for two seasons, spent £70m plus… doesn’t even play against our biggest rivals
And to top it off, Dalot comes in... Not sure I understood that sub.
Damage limitation at that point. Was purely to stop more goals going in so we went 5 at the back.
The next manager in, if they have half a clue will look at the attacking options and scratch their head as to how we managed to fail to achieve even the bare minimum.
Sancho hasn’t hit the ground running, but he also has been chucked into a team with no system and certainly not one that plays to his strengths. I still think there is some layover from that penalty miss and we as a club have done nothing to fill him with confidence again.
There can’t be another club in the world that buys a player for £75 million and then just doesn’t know what to do with them. But with Ole anything is possible, VDB can fill Sancho in on bench etiquette.

Signed to come off the bench twice a month
I feel bad for him, he signed for a clueless manager and it looks like we're going to bring in a manager who has no use for him,
Who would that be? Any manager that uses a formation with any right winger will have him starting. If you're talking about Conte, we'd likely just go 343 and there's an obvious spot for him. If it's 352, then he competes for the #10. Either way, he's a world class talent who will come good in time. He needs a new manager urgently though because Ole doesn't know what to do with him.
75m spent on Sancho, 35m spent on Donny.
Cash Ole has shoveled into the furnace.

Dortmund played 3-4-3 under Favre a lot and Sancho plqyed as a right sided ten in that squad with Hakimi as wing back. That's where the myth that he is a RW was coming from. You could still play him as a right sided ten in that system but you'd need a real attacking right wing back, I don't see that working with Wan-Bissaka. Sancho dropped off a cliff when played as a RAM after Hakimi left.
I think you maneuvred yourself in a dead end by signing both Sancho and Ronaldo. Sancho plays the same position as Rashford and now you can't even try out Rashford as a mobile striker making runs inbehind in a similar role to Werner at Chelsea. You'll always have to play one of them out of position or not at all.
He's the total opposite of a Conte player to me. Lack physicality, isn't the fastest, doesn't press very well.
Nah they're both young and talented, especially Sancho who's just 21. A decent manager will get them firing
Das banter begins...
Spend two years chasing a player then have no fecking clue what to do with him. Planning of this club in a nutshell.
Got to laugh. Well done Ole. You certainly got your man. New manager should work wonders for these players.
fecking odd isn’t it, if you was a player being offered the chance to sign for United and then looked at the Sancho or Donny situation would it put you off signing?
I’ll judge him when he plays for a competent manager.
Any up and coming player with options would be well advised to steer well clear of this club right now. VDB looks fecking depressed and Sancho’s probably thinking wtf he’s gotten in to.
It wasn't the right signing. Rather just a headache for whoever the new manager is.

The funny thing is that it isn't all that confusing how to use him. But that also depends on your attacking system actually having a system that functions as a team, which Ole's doesn't.
It’s madness to spend that much on a player and not be a pretty much guaranteed starter, with a team pretty much built around his talents. Sancho was perfect to fit into the attack with Martial and Rashford a few years ago. If Ole felt Greenwood was the future on RW then he shouldn’t have signed him.
United have managed to do that twice now with Pogba and Sancho, it’s a crazy waste of money.

Ole probably thought he could turn him into a more direct kick and rush merchant like Rashford but Sancho just doesn't have the pace to do that. In fact I think in the future he'll become more of a no.10.
$JS7 stocks are at an all time low, feel for the guy. Ole is really horrible and it is a disgrace he's still the United manager.
Imagine chasing a player for two summers and not knowing what to do with him when you get him.
Remember when Sancho was going to be the transformative player for Ole during the first summer we were after him and didn't get him. He was going to be the final piece that made us a free flowing attacking team
There's always been one piece missing that stopped Ole from having a dominant attacking team

There's always been one piece missing that stopped Ole from having a dominant attacking team The main reason we bought him is that he is friends with Rashford, there was no real need for him after buying Amad.
It's also no surprise he's not working under Ole, the warning signs were all there.

I've read this before from a poster when United was chasing Sancho; it's still as mad of a take now as it was then.
It isn't, you have very two young players with big potential in one position and one of them was already delivering.
How does it make any sense to go and buy a 3rd one in the same position?
Said we should have gone with Raphinha or Pedro Neto (even if injured) and lots of people went nuts..
They would have looked bang average under Ole too. A direct pace merchant like Traore might have fit right in I suppose.
Neto is twice the player of Traore and I’d say better than Jota too.
We could have even pushed for Chiesa although he wasn’t my first choice.
Conte used a similar 3-4-3 with Chelsea. Wont be suprised if he is suddenly much better under a competent manager.
Finding a position and getting Sancho playing well is a higher priority than trying to sort the Pogba puzzle out.
