The fact we haven't heard any sort of rumour from the press so far is a very encouraging sign
There have been plenty.

Imagine it's taken us since Nani was in form in 2009 to get a good right winger

Nani’s best season was 2010/11 wasn’t it? Also Valencia was a very good right winger in 2011/12 but yeah, it’s been a while.
Yeah, both had one really good season each but that was about it.
I found a thread on Reddit which discusses a Mirror article linking us to Jadon Sancho. With some investigating, the user has found that the reporter seems to have legitimate connections to Sancho and his entourage, meaning that although it's Mirror, it might actually be more reliable than we think. I thought it was interesting enough to share.

If we buy Sancho and he ends up at the level of Sane, we will still improve our starting eleven greatly.
Pep has already said Sancho wouldn't come back to City whilst he is there.
I reckon he'll spend a couple more seasons in Germany, then refuse to renew and get sold for 50-60m like Pulisic. I think it would be better for him as well in terms of building more experience and having less expectation on his shoulders than a 9-figure price tag would heap.
I don't think anyone is going to throw Dembele level money at BVB, but who knows.

“I don’t know, in football you never say no, but I don’t know. I think when he decided to move on from here it is because he doesn’t want to be here.
When he doesn’t want to be here I think he’s not looking forward to coming back here. That is what I think right now. Maybe in the future – new club, new managers – but I don’t know."
What he actually said, wouldn't say it's necessarily ruling it out. Say Sane decides he wants to leave, which wouldn't surprise me given they've been trying to extend his contract for a while, it wouldn't be a unlikely scenario to see Sancho back at City, especially as the club have a first option clause allowing them to match any bids.
There's already been reports that he doesn't hold any particular grudge against City. If anything City are more likely to be a bit miffed by him considering he kicked up a stink by not reporting to training in order to force a move.
A bit of a telling off by his coach.

Mbappe currently plays RW with Cavani at 9. Really wouldn't be surprised to see Cavani move on and Mbappe going to 9 therefore freeing up a spot on the right.
I don't think he holds a grudge against City, but I also don't think he believes Pep believed in his talent enough. I doubt he would go back with Pep in charge myself
He should stay put. He has massive ability but all too raw at the moment. Even just one more season of development would do him a world of good.
Pep is too smart to totally rule out a Sancho return but would want it to be on his terms. His ego would not stand for the entourage of a relative kid to have dictated to him a career path and for it to have cost City a lot of money.
Having said that I still believe that United will be front runners when Sancho leaves BVB.
I think Mbappe plays his best football on the wing. I think he may eventually move to No. 9 position later on when he hits 25 or something. I'm unsure at the moment when it comes to his hold up play.
Amazing on FIFA, break the bank!
They are just regurgitating the Mirror's story.
Sancho seems like a lad with the character to play for United. He left to make his own name rather then sign a contract and play a few games a season. I dont think he will go to PSG. United is the only destination for him in England. If Chelsea refuse to sell Hazard then Madrid may go in for him. If we do want to sign him it has to be this summer, we cannot afford to wait another window. At this moment in time there's not many clubs who can afford or need him.
Yes but it’s from James Ducker so possibly more credibility.
Pay what they want. He's worth every penny.
He’s the perfect compliment to martial and Rashford. Spend whatever it takes.
haha psg. we need to get him before they lose mbappe to madrid.
He's not going anywhere else but United. Hopefully we can get a lower transfer fee than the Ousmane Dembele one but yeah, ultimately I'll be very surprised if he's not wearing our No.7 next season
we've got a decent record in tugs-of-wars recently
So that’s Custis, Ducker and that other journo whose name I can’t remember but apparently has good links on this now.
It makes too much sense for us to not be in for him though, given his profile and nationality. This is in every way a typical star-United signing. In the last 20 years we’ve made Ronaldo, Rooney, Anderson (depending on what quote you believe) and Martial the most expensive teenagers in world football. We’ve also made De Gea and Shaw the most expensive teenagers in their positions.
We would be totally in our element with a £100m+ move for Sancho. I think on the whole, these players turn out best for us than some of the older Big Money players we buy. PSG obviously have unlimited funds, but we couldn’t expect to sign a talent like this without another big (rich) club in the mix.

It literally ticks every box.

Friends with current squad
adding him and koulibaly/de Ligt this summer would be Massive. few other squad additions and we will be set for the title next year.
You mean Fred and Sanchez?
Hope this is true. Martial-Rashford-Sancho makes me wet.
Reminds me of Hazard a lot. The body swerves, short burst acceleration, quick feet, almost impossible to tackle. Splash the cash Woody!
Sancho, De Ligt/Koulibaly and Rabiot would be a sensational summer’s work. If we offload some forwards I’d also like to see Joshua King brought back.
Think it would make lot of sense from financial stand point as well. Toby for 25m, Meunier for 35-40, Rabiot for free and Pellegrini for 25m means, we still got money for a big signing.
Should be available for 75- 80m range.

Great list but De Ligt instead of Toby with the held of offloading CBs in Jones and Rojo.
Don't PSG have FFP issues to deal with too? Can't see us losing in a bidding war to them, if I'm honest. Don't see Sancho wanting to go there either.
What’s this Rabiot business? Have we been linked, or are you just fitting him into the transfer budget because he’ll be free?Think it would make lot of sense from financial stand point as well.
