Yes it will be difficult. He was likened to Mata by some people within the club at United so hard to see how he'd thrive. We've also been accused by other Spanish players of not getting the most out of Mata, we never found a spot for him or play that way. German fans on here said Sancho wouldn't fit United and were worried we'd ruin him, I could see the same thing with how poor he was for England, how direct United need players, the lack of system and he'd have to adapt and so would team half way to make him a success. Obviously a different mentality between them and while we can love and appreciate Mata, it wasn't great, a peripheral player that had his moments. Moyes brought him in for creativity but really never knew what to do with him.

I’m not suggesting he will have a decent career. I’m saying he has time - he has - to turn things around and have an accomplished career.
I'm not so sure. I believe that FIFA players tend to peak in high school. University years for the late bloomers.
All Man Utd fans should unfollow Sancho on IG if he is going to be disrespecting united.
Yeah, I feel like this "it's his mentality" trope is become overplayed. He obviously has big mentality issues (which I'm reluctant to knock too much as they might be related to mental health issues), but even beyond that he has limitations that would have stopped him becoming a top PL performer. He's too slow, too weak, and can easily be taken out of a game.
Not really like Pogba, no. Sancho could only dream of the career Pogba has had.
They have delusions of grandeur: it's not their fault, they're great (in their minds and those around them). It's someone else who is to blame.
I agree, but I think he still has time to turn things around. 25 is not the be all end all for players.
A few ozempic shots, put his head down, and he might still end up with a very good/accomplished career. But alas,
Elanga did it when Mazi Oyedele joined Legia Warsaw although it was a little more cryptic, suggesting he had dodged a bullet by leaving which is somewhat open to interpretation and quite probably more about ETH than the club. Elanaga is a little justified in that he was one of the few bright spots under RR and yet was never given a chance by Erik, the relationship seems to have been bad from the minute the Manager got to the club but I don't recall Elanga ever downing tools or not giving 100% when called on so I don't have an issue with him expressing his opinion.
The freedom comes from not having their terrible attitude stinking up the club. If they felt trapped, it was by their design.
Just another piece of proof to throw in the massive mound that these two are no good.

Whilst these players can have a pop and what not.. Oyedele joined Warsaw... Elanga Forest. Whilst they are having a good season, its not really pinnacle of football.
I wouldnt take too much from players like Elanga doing it... he just wasn't good enough for United. Heck, he had a chant for him inside a few months, yet he wants to disrespect the club / fans. Now I see Elanga trying to create his own chant on the Forest socials.
Sancho on the other hand is paid alot of money, given alot of chances.
He’s got both the mindset and physique of a little boy.
As United fans we grew up watching Beckham, Rooney and Ronaldo make all the good and bad headlines...nowadays we have to make do with Rashy and Sancho twitter and instagram nonsense.
Sign! how I miss the old days.
Sign! how I miss the old days.
What is he on about, freedom from what???
Talk about being entitled and butthurt. You guys really need to get rid of such type of players.
Freedom? Still doesn’t mind taking the clubs coin.
Have you not been paying attention to Man United for the past decade?
Everyone who leaves must feel like Andy Dufesne after he's crawled out of that pipe in The Shawshank Redemption.
Get themselves relegated.
Its good to see that Sancho has his freedom, scoring loads of goals enjoying his football.. oh wait.
He will be playing in Saudi or MLS in 3/4 seasons after a stint in Turkey. Freedom.
Over the years we've had some overpriced players. We've had some shit players. We've had some wankers. But I don't think we've ever had a shit, overpriced wanker before.
Sancho ticks all 3 boxes. Absolute buffoon.

Must have been awful. Now they can go be terrible at other clubs, earning less money and winning less trophies. Freedom indeed
Quality response mate
Oh there were signs alright
Pleb
300k a week and the expectation that you earn it maybe.
Clearly these guys are talented footballers, but they have a rotten attitude. It won't surprise me if neither of them ever play for England again or win a club trophy for the rest of their careers.
Absolute wasteman!
The state of this

I'm aware Manchester United has been run poorly for a while and quite frankly they've been a joke of a (big) club but I still can't emphatize with a footballer like Sancho. Nobody forced him to join them and I'd imagine he was being paid a lot over there and being given opportunities to prove himself.
Anyway i find it both funny, and pedantic, for him to post something like that and I'm not even a United supporter.

Fecking Woodward and his "Disneyland" mentality, thinking everything was solved by just offering more/the most money. Complete and utter incompetent buffoon i.t.o running a football club.
Seriously get rid of all of these idiots before we sack Ruben. It seems like every coach has to pick a fight with someone or the other due to their egos (Rashford, Casemiro, Ronaldo, Sancho, probably missing a few more).
I think we're mostly there in terms of a full cultural reset. Really want to see Sancho, Casemiro and Rashford out of the club first before declaring victory.

There is zero evidence for what you said, and at least one factual evidence that contradicts it + multiple observations that indicate that your statement was probably the opposite of reality.Words have meaning, so before getting flustered and replying in said manner - please understand what was said - "United has empowered almost every manager to get rid of ". Was the sentence you quoted - read it as many times as you need before coming up with "but what about"
And yeah, I must have come up with an imaginary reality in which we have expedited exits, and at times even banished some of our top earners, under different managers
But you seem to be more concerned with sarcastically asserting your intellectual superiority, rather than having a rational conversation... OK.
More ABU drivel. Straight in the bin!
It reminds me very much of the whole Nelson Mandela situation. More or less the same scenario.
This social media thing further provides evidence to my theory that Rashford's previous professionalism and commitment was eaten up by being influenced by the termite that is Sancho. Talk about creating a bad influence.
He's gone to Chelsea though!
That's like crawling out of a pipe to escape prison then clambering into a different pipe that takes you to a different prison.
All of them: Lingard, Sancho, Rashford and Pogba.
Is there a obligation to buy in the loan deal, I hope so don't want him to come back , bit of a lazy fecker
I didn't know that Sancho thought Utd had Rashford locked up since he was a kid..
Freedom..
Freedom..
I'd be surprised if Sancho is playing at anything near the top level in 4-5 years time, possibly less - he's the poster boy of this brand of waster types, who look good at the beginning but love the lifestyle over any professional attitude / development mindset / motivation, and simply have too much too soon.
(Also, we've got rid - we hope - so he's not our problem and. well, who cares?).
