You don't spend 100 million on a player and not use them in their best way because they will be 'perfectly fine' doing something else.

Going on a players inside using your weaker foot is difficult even for players who have a good weaker foot.

If we sign him, we'll start him off on the right, and he'll be inconsistent. People will be talking about him disappearing in games. He'll then get his chance on the left and be amazing. But then that's going to be an issue cause that's where Rashford plays.

We're going to expect goals from him if we sign him at that price.

He's a better goal threat from the left but we have Rashford for that. He would bring us many different qualities to the right side that we just don't have at the moment.

He's also adding to the squad in general, so if Rashford wasn't fit/sharp then you've got Sancho who can play the position to a similarly high level.

Sancho's stats from the right were still very good, it's only really been this season he's moved back to the left after Reus played more of a striker/AMC role.

My point is he's not the sort of player to tear a left back a new one. If the game becomes compressed he'll be taken out of the game. He's a cut in merchant. Not a dominant outside dribbler which he'd need to be to get the job done on the right.

He won't be completely useless as he comes centrally when matches are stretched so he can playmake. But once teams set out there stall he'll be nullfied. Couldn't even make a dent on a mediocre fullback from a defensive standpoint like Bernat.

Umm Im not sure you have watched him. He absolutely can go on the outside. He is no where a cut in merchant like Rashford for example.

All inside forwards cut in. They dont go outside because theyre not wingers

Didn't know cut in merchant was a thing tbh.

He does everything so of course he can. But he isn't like rashford who 9/10 looks to cut in. He beats full backs very regualrly on the outside.

Rashford is no cut in merchant. He has the ability to go either way, if he played on the right he would go on the outside too. The reason our players cut in is because we dont have a target man to cross to so we have to play our way into the box.

We saw rashford play right many times he cannot play there and very rarely went by his full back on the outside.

How many times has he played on the right? Not very many.

He played right wing many times in his first couple seasons. We had the whole issue that neither him or martial could actually play right wing. Both were barely half as good in that position mainly because both are strikers converted to wingers so always want to cut in and werent confident going on the outside. Whereas sancho is an actual winger not a converted one.

What a nonsense.
Did Borussia had a target-man (before Haaland came) playing Reus upfront?
They are not doing this because it is not their style of play and they actually (both Rashford and Martial) can't play there. Nothing wrong, it's just what it is. The same was with Pires, for example, and he still was a top-player.

Would you play Hazard on the right and do you think he'd reach the same standard on the right as playing off the left.

Every attacker has to be a good goal threat if we intend on building a great attack. As i said, you don't sign a player for 9 figures if you don't intend on getting the best out of him.
 
I doubted he would come this summer due to the virus and now that looks correct.

I am not that bothered anyway as our focus should be on restarting the season and finishing very strongly.

The Europa League is our best chance I think. Top 4 and FA Cup are possible but I think Chelsea and City will beat us to both of them.
 
Sancho record number of goals as a youngster in Germany most goals from the right and is two footed can't see a problem with him in the right as is just as good as assisting from the right

There’s nothing in this article. Not even a ‘sources have told us’, just someone’s opinion based on what Woodward said a week ago.

I dont share your enthusiasm that it's happening. In the current climate, and considering the club still has massive debt to pay off, I just don't see it happening.
The club is paying tens of millions each weekend towards salaries, yet there's no TV money or gate receipt cash coming in. I think spending will be low.

My enthusiasm has little to do with the fact the article you linked to had nothing to say that hasn’t been said in this thread.
 
Manchester United in 2032. The club feel that next season is the season they finally sign a right winger to replace Nani.


Watch this space....

If I was a betting man, I'd bet he's not coming. And this article only increases my suspicions that it ain't happening

Maybe if we sell Pogba for 100 million then it still can happen, but that's a huge maybe with clubs unwilling to pay the transfer and 350,000 a week for him

So you think next season will be another season we don't own a right winger or someone who can play there to a top six level?

Cause we haven't had one since Nani. Name me another club to neglect a position so long.

It's mad
 
Article or not, I can't see him coming this summer. We will probably won't even have any matchday income next season. I can't see us spending that kind of money for now.

Playing Grealish as a right wing forward could be an option.

Chukwueze another possible target.

David Brooks or Dwight McNeil could be a dirt cheap option and could turn out to be good business.

I think Ole will definitely bring in a right winger, but I don't think Sancho is attainable in the current climate unless we get huge money for Pogba.

In theory, but that doesn’t take the detail into consideration. The entire global economy is what it is now, and I can’t imagine transfers will not be done differently for a while. Payment structures, bonus structures, loans with obligations like Mbappé.

I expect all of these things to be a factor in whatever market we get this year.

Well I hope you are wrong because if we need to sell our best player to buy our first proper RW in like 8 seasons then we are going nowhere fast.

It's been neglected too long the fans shouldn't accept a David Brooks, he is hardly going to close the gap.

If Pogba is gone we should be signing Sancho and another top player out of the Pogba money.

Can't be accepting Bruno was that or again we won't go anywhere fast. Bruno will struggle being a one man team just like Pogba did.evenntually. good players need people on their wavelength.

You can already see it with Bruno with how frustrated he gets with the likes of lingard and Co who just can't keep up with him .

There will be a few surprises over the summer no doubt. Pogba could absolutely end up staying not because he wants to, but because nobody can afford him.
Getting Aaron Ramsey and 50 or 60 million for Pogba, and using the cash to buy Chukwueze or Timo Werner or Grealish would absolutely work for me.

I agree it's pure speculation on his part. And when you start throwing in words like 'might' then it's clear that the journo is throwing jabs into the dark.

Exactly. I'm not sure the board even know yet if they can afford the deal. They are probably waiting to see if the league resumes, and then calculate how much extra income that will bring in, before making a final decision.
 
They have nothing else to write about and people bite. Of course there is uncertainty but then again there's uncertainty as to when the season resumes etc. There's been mixed news of late which is natural because for a spell it was all positive news. Best to ignore.
