Has a case for being the worst signing in Premier League history never mind Manchester United history. Maguire at least had an above average season before imploding, you can count on one hand the amount of above average games Sancho has had in 2 years

Does he? He's agile but after the first couple of steps he is running in treacle. He has the control and skill to get the ball past defenders but his body is always left behind. I have never once seen him outpace anybody beyond that first couple of steps. He could have a future here but it is not on the wing.
Flashes here and there , but still not seeing it in a United shirt
so, what's the plan for him? after 2yrs of nothingness and apparent mental issues.... who would buy him?
where do you loan him? what's the buyout you expect someone to agree to (would obviously have to be an option, no one will agree to an obligation)?

I notice that he starts off matches running with the ball which is what you want from a wide man to show the opposition full back he is in for a tough time. But instead the first or second take on is as good as it gets. After that he just stops on the ball and passes it to someone else. He's good at keeping possession but should be offering far more as a direct threat with the ball at feet.
£350k a week, he's gonna be stinking up the place for a while!
This is the problem. I’d sell him this summer if there was a mug who’d pay those wages.
He's not going anywhere with those wages.
I don’t know who you’re watching but he has absolutely no pace whatsoever.
Needs to go. If his basic wage is not too ridiculous, I think we can attract interest this summer and we need to take it if it presents. Garnacho was not in consideration when we signed him and is now already better than him so he will be no loss for the squad. Yes he can also play right side, but not particularly well, and Amad will return there anyway.
wow. I completely forgot Sancho gets paid 350k a week.. A WEEK! 
I dont blame EtH losing the rag with him now

I'm not a fan of bashing players on made up wages in the media, but if we are going down that route then lets agree Sancho is on 375k -25% so 280k a week....
GO!
GO!

I doubt he’s on £350k. The Athletic reported he got £250k when he signed, which is more in line with our wage structure. But it was Woody so who knows.
according to https://www.spotrac.com/epl/manchester-united-fc/jadon-sancho-73226/. hes on 18.2m a year / 350 a week.. which is completely mental..
and yes, Utd's main issue of people having ridiculous contracts is 100% on Woodward. the man was handing them out to everyone. absolute clown
I believe The Athletic. £350k sounds too ridiculous, even for us.
Wow that is insane if true - £250k a week would be absolutely mental as well. If it is anything close to £350k then you will never be able to sell him even if you want to so I guess you just need to hope he finds form. Your club does make some very strange decisions re: wage I gotta say. For that wage I'd expect an established world super star.
I don't think he has the engine to be a top player. He cant motor up and down the pitch for 90 minutes.
Complete flop of a signing. Looks like playing in the German League and supplying Haaland massively inflated his stats.

I think he would do very well in any other major European league, particularly at a club with a top number 9. He's the ultimate luxury player, one who could be the perfect cherry on top but absolutely not the type central to a drastic rebuild.
If he was so great, City would have done everything to keep him.
I’m not blowing my own trumpet, but I said from day 1, this would be a disaster signing.
Pound for pound, the most overrated player I’ve ever seen. Maguire is a close second!
He’s the exact opposite of a luxury player he offers absolutely nothing. No team is carrying Sancho when he offers nothing to the team
Sad thing is even when he was hyped up at Dortmund his England performances were the exact same as his time at United and alarm bells should have been ringing

Is there any excuses for him? Imo no the guy looks like he doesn't want to play sometimes. He's a talent, but doesn't show it enough. Dortmund fecking robbed us, he's on a massive deal so be hard to ship him out, so he's here to stay. But I'd sell him .. not shown enough this season..
He has no heart
Not necessarily. City under Pep have a policy of letting any player who who wants out, to leave.
This is not the first instance, he has been doing this since he has come back. Get rid.
He is a massive pussy. Let's just call it for what it is. Timid, tepid, no heart, whatever. He has no appetite for the physical side of the game. Weak mentality. Ponderous on the ball. Weak dribbler. Worse signing than Sanchez in my eyes. Cannot see any way back for him. If some team is willing to pay £40M this summer, then sell.
I remember being angered at the time, Sevilla were all over us in our 3rd of the pitch at that point and he completely shirks a tackle on the edge of the box, to give them another crack at it.
How did our scouts not realise how slow and weak he is? He is never going to cut it as a wide attacker in the PL. It's not like he has David SIlva/Mata levels of technical ability either.
Short, sharp and pretty much the issues with him.
I believe he is easily one of the most talented players in the world, but it counts for naught with the physical and mental fragility he has shown.
Refuse to believe something isn’t fundamentally wrong and that the indolence we’re witnessing doesn’t have a root cause we’re not privy to. Unfortunately, the club itself is taking the hits for it.
The exact player he is with Antony’s approach would be a wholly different prospect.
@2:25 Am i being harsh to criticize him for his lack of fitness there? To his credit he does sprint back halfway but then he just seems to concede defeat; the winger he was tracking puts in a cross which Antony puts behind for a corner because he actually did make it all the way back to defend his own box.
His technical ability is overrated but it is superior to his acceleration and fighting spirit.
Ive seen him do this so much at Old Trafford since we signed him.. afraid to go up for headers, pulling out of challenges. Terrified of hurting himself.
He's def one of the lads lacking that fighting spirit. Not up for the scrap.
Wasn't even backing out of a tackle there. He was first to the ball and jumped out of the way.
On the edge of his own box. Dont think any other player in the squad would do that. Gutless.

The complete opposite to Lisandro character wise.
We must move him this summer, the more time it goes the worse it looks. Maybe we can fool someone into thinking he's good but he hasn't adapted well to the league and it's willing to bet on him.
I get thinks don't work out but the least I expect is players working their ass off. Just like Antony I can tolerate players like that, but seeing Sancho with not performing and absolutely no blood in top of it it's ridiculous it sets a low standard. He has to go.

Give me 50k a week and I'll risk breaking my legs every single game.
350k and he shits the bed.

Never understood why so many wanted to sign him. Every time I watched him play for England he was absolutely useless. Player of his cost should be consistently good in every game but some of his performances were so bad that you just knew he wasn’t worth the money quoted.
Only silver lining is we missed out on him initially and saved £20 odd mill

I can believe there are kids, actual primary school kids who would beat him up and take his wallet and he would do nothing but have a little cry
As others have said it's not a new thing.I remember one occurrance, I believe under Rangnick, where he essentially abandoned a duel which led to a goal.
He seems lost, mentally affected.

Still not giving up on him yet. There is a world beater somewhere in there perhaps waiting to be unlocked. He is too much of a talent to give up on. Not sure if its a fitness issue, but he seems gassed after a few sprints and could not bomb up and down the wings as you expect from a modern day winger. Say we play to his strengths and play him through the middle just behind the striker. Problem is that will force bruno out wide - a position he is equally ineffective in.
Someone got it right when they said he is a 5-a-side player. He plays like it but shirks the physical side. Very odd. He might be great in a rondo.
