On flames tonight, good for him.
He’s had one good performance since he went back to Dortmund, along with a load of average and poor ones.
He has to keep this up so we collect a £60m total package from Dortmund for him and move on. He lost all goodwill when he decided to spend 5 months doing nothing at home while the team suffered through an injury crisis. Good riddance.
PSG would probably opt for him over Rashford at this stage.
Good game tonight.
Don't think he's been great for Dortmund since returning really but glad to see him string a decent performance or two together - hopefully does something for his value. Even at Dortmund, looks like he can't be bothered out of possession and once he's personally dispossessed he rarely fights back.
Very reactionary comments here around people wanting him back because they see him perform well in one CL performance after watching him play poorly for us for years and not even that great since he went back to Germany.
Short memories, indeed.

Refereeing is different. Beyond that, Manchester United is a talent black hole. If you had peak Messi, after a year you'd be selling him back to Argentina
Considering the dire state of our team, the huge amount of investment needed, I would like to see him have another chance. There are too many positions to improve already
3 goals and 2 assists in 17 games, with many of those being his typical average or below average United performances so far at Dortmund.
That would not be accepted as a good run of form on here if he was producing it at United.
I also don't see how a few good performances from him somehow proves that ETH was wrong?

He was out of football for a while. Now playing himself back to form under a club known for developing/managing players
The funny thing about Dortmund is if you look at their squad on an individual basis, it's really not all that impressive. A functional setup can take you a long way, even without the star quality.
I now dislike him as much as I detested Di Maria after his United spell. Sancho just did not care in a United shirt. I hope he drives uo his price and someone takes him off our hands
The problem with ten Hag, as we've seen since being Sancho-less, is he's made a lot of mistakes and left numerous players' noses out of joint, at the time of the set-to with Sancho, the favouring of Antony so that Sancho wasn't getting a fair crack, or parity in terms of PT and opportunities to impress, or even to make mistakes, created a massive fissure. Some players will keep schtum, but others won't and I think the combination of distrust and a bad attitude created dynamite and a unrepairable relationship. Since then, the manager has repeated the same cycle with Amad, getting throwaway minutes compared to Antony, but with a different temperament, Amad takes his lumps, but will probably leave if ten Hag stays over the summer.
I really think a lot went on that we're not privvy to from the off and that Sancho mentally checked out with that. Is it wrong? Yes, but I think shrewder handling resolves a lot of this blown out of proportion nonsense and we don't have this scenario with what should be an £80m asset.
It also seems like we didn't do due dilligence when it comes to background checking the player. He left City, even with Pep there when he felt underappreciated. Nevermind Dortmund, the profile has always been apparent and it doesn't seem like we were aware of that.
The whole thing seems off to me. Concessions and adaptation on both sides was always necessary, instead, neither side gave an inch, which is bizarre when you slap over £70m down on a player.
Literally everyone can see this this apart from deluded top reds who can't bring themselves to admit they were wrong about ETH.
I don't give a flying f**k how well he plays for Borussia Dortmund, he's shown he doesn't have the testicular fortitude to play for United, and that's never going to change.
Very much this.
So he only played under ETH at United then…
How so? There might be many reasons that it didn't work while he was playing with Utd, I don't think there's anything wrong with saying he played well tonight though, and it goes some way to showing he's not a shit or lazy player which is what a lot of people thought.
He was exceptional tonight. No idea how he's played in his other dortmund games as this is the first time i've watched him since he went on loan, but tonight he was quality. Very far away from anything he ever showed here.
Fair enough, yes I agree he played well, which sell or keep can only be a good thing for United.
Yea I often say that players like Iniesta would be sold for peanuts here, or players like Xavi. We are so 1 dimensional with our thinking, that passing players, or linkup players are not valued, just like Carrick.
Would take that outcome as well.
You love to see it
Didn’t we give him three months off (PAID) and sort out individual training sessions for him?
I don’t know but we do like our mavericks. If he put that performance for us, we’d call that a « solid » and would be complaining about his lack of end product, because we also cannot take this game in isolation when the rest of the time he’s been underwhelming
And the media is always eager to call our players flops. I remember that he didn’t waste time to call him « 007 »
Ole and his coaches were rubbish too.
That game tonight was every bit high intensity, high tempo, tightly fought with plenty of aggression, that you would see in a top EPL clash, with both teams going for it.
If Sancho can so confidently and enjoyably handle that, he could handle the Premiership and perform just as well here.
He was sensational.

This. But according to Sancho, he was still made a 'scapegoat'. I'd love to be a scapegoat on paid leave in Netherlands.
Yep. Xabi Alonso, Carrick, Busquets or whoever - we'd stick them in Casemiro's role and complain that they're washed up when they don't cover 15km a game
Thought he had a good game but Hargreaves and Ferdinand hyping him up beyond belief.
The main problem is his attitude and overall behavior, not his talent.
I agree that there's nothing wrong with saying he played well tonight but the number of newbie united 'fans' glorying in his very, very limited success is weird imo.
Yh.
The circle jerk is unreal.
Dont you all see he was just sad at manchester?
He is not coming back while ETH is around - all noises today suggest that ETH is staying so he won’t be back.
Helping increase his transfer fee.

The only deluded people are the ones who take Sancho's side in this matter
These things can change (with hopefully a new coaching team). He cost too much and is way too young to not have a "2nd" chance. Our team is already devoid of technical ability as is
Damn, TNT must be getting a % of a sale for their marketing job tonight! Can't really complain about that.
Is his United career dead in the water then?
I assumed all along that he’d be here next season if we have a new manager
