Definitely just pushing this out because of the Ziyech knews.
He's the sort of player you blow your budget for. We made the mistake of not getting Hazard under Fergie, we cannot miss out on Sancho.£119m?
That sounds like the budget pretty much blown in one
According to Sky Germany? So I guess we can't say Woodward is feeding the press in this case.
One good thing is , not many clubs will blow 140m on one player. Means, we will mostly have a straight run unless Real or PSG makes a last attempt
Himself and Grealish should be our top priorities this summer.
Then if Pogba goes will need a few other top players

him and Grealish!Poch, Grealish, Sancho.
Nice dream.
Nice dream.
I believe that to be very realistic.
Don't listen. Woodward out.
Unites are interested. United are not interested in paying for him though. Bloody hell would he be the perfect transfer for that right side
Think it's from Sky Germany mate, you think it's a Woodward brief?
I'd like Sancho to have a free central role if he comes here - let him make runs wide both left and right & provide width from both sides.
Be useful from both left and the right.
A bit how Lingard made those intelligent runs but could never pull off the finishing aspects when required.
Let Rashford cut in & Sancho goes out wide. Let Greenwood cut in & Sancho goes out wide.
I worry if we stick him solely as a RW he may be a 120 mil Willian in the Premier League when he can play across the whole of our front line instead. But of course I could be wrong.

Real Madrid, PSG and Liverpool have also been linked (as have Chelsea, although that must now be less likely).
We will surely need to qualify for next season's Champions League, to have any chance of landing the player.
I can see Real getting Mbappe and PSG turning to Sancho to be fair.
I know February is a slow month news wise but bloody hell we are getting our click bait in early
Offering CL football is overstated when it comes to buying players, it’s not that big of a deal. Liverpool were able to build a good squad while not in CL.
Only if we get top 4
According to the BBC, Sancho ruled out an impending move to United last summer, when it became clear we would not be playing CL football. His priorities might have changed in the last 10 months, but if we are up against PSG/Liverpool/Real Madrid for his signature, we better make sure we can offer top level football to him.
Sky Germany talk so much crap, I'm sure we're interested obviously, but there's a reason they're using our name, its great for clicks.
I think we'll sign Sancho without Champions League football.
Actually meant as a joke
I don’t share your confidence but hopefully you’re right.
Why would he go to Pool / City and be a backup to Salah / Mahrez / B. Silva? Maybe you can argue he can play himself into the City lineup but I don't think he'll be replacing either Salah / Mane for Pool.
PSG (if Mbappe leaves) makes the most sense, but again, they haven't really won the CL with their strongest team. Neymar's career has gone downhill since going there. It's a big fish in small pond kind of situation, I don't think any ambitious player would want to go there at this point. He's also english, so the PL is an additional draw.
I think Chelsea might be a bigger contender for this transfer than Pool (CL football, London, great english core with CHO, Abraham, Mount etc.). I hope we blow them out of the water when it comes to financials and that'll give us the advantage?

Sancho, Werner and Soumare. Keep Pogba and Ole. One can dream..
What’s with all this Sancho news suddenly? A leak?
This is going to be one of those long threads, isn't it?
Not sure i can take one more...

Just spunk £120m to Dortmund today and announce Poch and Grealish will be joining him. Then we can have some long awaited hope
Obviously if we get him, it’ll be funded by Pogba

Sky Germany are a pretty crap source but I'd personally pay more attention to what Matt Law said in his latest piece.
The Poch stuff has made me more hopeful again about this to be honest, no way are we signing him with Ole in charge though.
Chelsea looked like a likely destination. But then they agreed a deal for a different right-sided attacker (with reports suggesting that they had been priced out of the Sancho deal). I don't see Ziyech and Sancho in the same side next season.
Yeah he's generally pretty good, especially with Chelsea matters isn't he. Or am I confusing him with someone else.
He's probably the best source for Chelsea. And he said yesterday that Chelsea were looking at the cheaper alternative to Sancho in ziyech due to strong interest from the likes of Manchester United.
To be fair, it's hardly news that we're keen on him, everyone and their mother knows at this point. I'm more interested on whether he's keen on us.
It's been reported that he's open to a move to United by Ornstein and afew other well respected Journos.
