But again why convert? Why not do things usual way playing a RB at RB and get a proper RW, instead of doing what we have been and lamenting lack of a RW for 5 yrs now.
I was thinking of Bale. Dalot looks better as a winger than a defender
 
Young's is awful defensively. Dalot is easily on par if not better. Just hasn't been given the chance
Sancho and Dalot right side is a hell of a lot better than Dalot and Young.

We need to make sure that by next season Young is played as little as possible. Cannot be a starter.

On the contrary, Young is at his best defensively. It is attacking wise where he is poor, especially at crosses. But in defense, you can rely on him. Getting old now though.

Rely on him to make a mistake every time the opposition attack. The fact Young is at his best defensively but still so poor at defending, shows what type of player he is. Should be kept around for leadership only. Wont win a title with him as second choice next season. RBs need to play as wingers in attack in modern football and Young can't even do that anymore. He doesn't have the engine anymore so he kicks players rather than tracking back. Signing Sancho would be pointless if he doesn't get a quality player overlapping like Dalot.
 
And why does it matter if I'm from Norway??
You think it's just people from all other countries than Norway that knows football??

Last time I checked it's been several good Norwegian players in United. And Sander Berge will become a superstar it's that simple. In a better team were he won't be so much better than the rest he will get less tackled ergo less injuries.

Matic still have one more season in hes legge for United. Could be a good thing for Berge to start with playing so Matic can get some rest and imagine what he can learn from the man.

Is a reason why Ajax wants to buy Ødegaard from Real cause he has it all. And this season he's been very good in Vitesse. And I have a feeling Solskjær would get the best out of him now instead of when he will cost 100£ or more. He has really started to live up to the hype and he is just 20.

This is the weirdest post I've seen in a while. Young's best trait is his longer passes/crosses. Yes they have declined since his peak but its still the one thing he can come up with. Everything else is below par

100% agree he is poor attacking but his positioning in defence is also awful. Not a good defender at all all things considered. Look at how often he costs us goals versus Shaw.
 
Have said multiple times get Sancho and stick Wan Bissaka behind him, one is very good at attacking the other excels at defending, we could alternate between Dalot and Sancho throughout a season.

Having a right winger to stretch the play gives us such a advantageous dynamic, that's why Dalot has made a huge impact in the games he's come on as of late. Since Valencia shifted to a fullback, we have played with no threat down the right side for years and its made our attacking play predictable.

Astonishing that 3 managers consecutively have failed to solve that problem.
 
Just saw he's one assist off Messi which is a terrific star for the kid.

Disagree. Respectfully. When we moved Young back right back when Bailly went off, injured or not, we immediately improved. The difference between him and Bailly was staggering. I think Ole adjusted the formation as well. You can rely on Young to do a decent job defensively. He never stops trying. Granted he is getting old.
 
Had Sancho stayed at City..


Foden should also go to Germany to get minutes. Pep has assembled a hugely deep squad with 2 experienced and in many cases top level players in each position. Only an injury crisis can give these kids a chance and even then he’ll go buy some more players.

Zinchenko broke through to the first team due to the injuries to Mendy. Pep’s been moaning about getting another LB.

Cannot imagine Zinchenko is too happy about pep fantasizing about a new LB.

Like Pep gives a feck. 2 years ago, he had Sancho on the books and, despite already having Sterling and Sane as his main wingers, he was trying to sign Mahrez as well. Which he did and now he mostly sits on the bench. And he was after Sanchez too.

No wonder Sancho decided to feck off.

Completely agree, if Sancho was still at City, he would probably still be playing u-23 football.
 
Sancho is a baby Hazard, who himself was a bit of a baby-Messi for me. We joke about needing to get the next Messi on this forum. This is he. With the right development and environment, I doubt he can ever touch Lionel who is the best ever, but he could possibly get closer than Hazard did. For me, as brilliant as Hazard is, I honestly think he should have gotten closer to Messi, which is why my first thought with him is one of disappointment. Eden Hazard ability with Ronaldo or Kane mentality and desire to be the best would be unstoppable. He would get 25 league goals a season at least.

Sancho’s story is yet to be written, but his resemblance to Hazard is striking to me. This is why I want him at United as soon as possible, so that we can get into his head and indoctrinate him in our culture to be the best. The talent part is there. I don’t know yet about the will, but if he has that, then it’s impossible for him to not become a great player, injury permitting.

Comparing versus that Bailly performance is laughable and half the reason we were solid defensively was Dalots contribution.
 
Ole has name checked him twice so think there is genuine interest.
 

Once was in a press conference (quote below) and there was one other time but can't remember when.

Solskjaer praises Gomes, Chong and Garner
They’ve been part of our training for a long time now and I’m sure Angel has been successful with England’s under-17s, the 2017 team with Sancho, Foden and Hudson-Odoi, so he’s been a big part of that. I’m definitely sure that if he gets a chance he’ll do well.

James Garner is a Michael Carrick but 20 years younger, I’m sure he’ll do well and Chongy will be taking people on if he comes on. They’re ready, they’re kids. It’s hard if you’re a defender coming on if you’re 16 or 17 but as an attacker you go out there and express yourself, and there’s your chance. They can win you the game, not lose it for you.
 
If Sancho wants first-team experience this will be the perfect place for him. That right side is his to keep.
 
Foden could probably do a job on the right wing for Dortmund too, but it doesn't mean that you're EPL right wing quality for Man United
 
You can't assume that we have talent on the same level as Sancho or we will find talent on his level. Potentially we have Greenwood, but many of us see him as a striker in the future even though he can play as a wide player. Sancho was the 2000 born English group's biggest talent. Signing Sancho will probably affect Chong, but Chong should not be prioritized over Sancho. Not nearly as skilled, is older, and isn't close to performing to the level of Sancho despite the huge difference in their respective competition's levels.

Also, a right wing upgrade is a priority and no matter the age of that player, will interfere with Chong. Might as well get someone who can grow with Greenwood, Gomes, Rashford, Martial, etc...

Can't assume that he can't either. I'm pretty sure no one was banging any drum for Rashford and looked how that developed. This isn't a Chong v Sancho debate and Sancho clearly is further on but not 100m further on? We need to start taking the lead rather than having a Magpie mentality

Ed Woodward needs to flex Manchester United's big club muscle and make offers Michael Zorc and Edwin van der Sar simply can't refuse. 120m plus Chong for Jadon Sancho and 100m plus TFM for Matthijs de Ligt. Now that United have a proper United manager in place, let's back him with generational talent at positions where generational talent would have a significant impact.

Zorc won't leave his hometown club Dortmund, and why would we want Vds when he doesn't do the job we want him to do? Marc Overmars is the technical director at Ajax.

I'm not buying Zorc or VDS, I'm buying Jadon Sancho and Matthijs de Ligt.
 
I haven't seen much of him at all, but I'm sold on the deal. Even if he's not the finished article right now, a player with his profile should thrive in the environment he'd be walking into at Utd. Sounds ideal for us really.

I'm not sure why we can't do both? Nobody is saying not to give our young players a chance. We're saying we should buy Sancho to pair him up with our young talents.
 
Had a dream we offered 80m + Sanchez on loan free for a year.
