Unfortunately, Mason has shown he isn’t just another 18 year old last season. At his age, a lot of the world class players were on the verge or have started full season. Mason is on that list and he has shown that he doesn’t need to warm the bench.
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

When this thread is locked I will be a happy happy bunny.
That moment the answer to the question "what would a cry wank about Mauricio Pochettino look like if it were a post on a football forum?" hits you.Amadaeus moment.
it's absolutely crazy to me that some people still think that players are either starters or bench-warmers, with nothing in between. Madness.
Seem like I m being misinterpreted. I m saying we shouldn’t sign Sancho if we can’t fix other areas of our team and we should be cautious about the intra squad conflict. MMM is already one of the best attack in football, so there shouldn’t be any rush to fix what is not broken. Rather we need to support the development of MMM with players who can provide competition for their spot.
AWB/Maguire/Bruno and now Sancho. Fantastic signings. People can say what they want about Maguire, but our defensive record speaks volumes.
People need to remember where we were last summer, had no idea whether Pogba would stay or go. Who wanted to join us etc.
There’s no quick fix, we need to do this over 2/3 years. Signing 4/5 average/good players is not going to move us forward. Becomes a vicious cycle, we’ll be back to where we were before we know it.
This is weird. Normally when people are like x player is dead on to sign for United, they don't sign.
How about players that only go somewhere because they've been guaranteed a first team place?
We're a great business if we're still turning over huge profits despite shit performances. It's the footballing side that is not very competent, but hopefully that is changing with Ole.
You need more than 1 quality player for every position.
Remember Yorke, Cole, Solskjaer and Sheringham?
We'll have 60+ games next season, they aren't going to play them all.
Nyet, no Russian bots here comrade
Bloody twitter telling me it was a done deal because of that fake Fabrizio here we go tweet
Does anyone know where Jadon is at the moment?
My basement
It's odd some fans can't see that our signings from last summer until now have all been carefully thought out, long termers.
We're very deliberately piecing together a great team here. City did it a decade ago, and we've seen Liverpool do it recently.
Bruno was the signing that really tied together what we already had, but having another star player attacker can only help.
Greenwood did well there for a month at the end of the season, but is still developing, not a wide player, and gives us great cover across the forward line now.
Ighalo helps as well.
All a fair cry from last summer, hoping Rashford and Martial would play 60 games, backed only by average choices on the right wing and a totally untried kid.
You had way more energy than me!
Which is what I m suggesting. Sancho will take up most of our transfer budget. I don’t know how we will have more than 1 quality players in each position when we buy 1 world class talent and have the likes of James, Ighalo, Lingardinho, and mata as backup to the rest of our attack.
Ghendouzi is the epitome of average. then a couple of kids, who may come good but have proven less than Sancho, and others whose fees are being touted just short of what we might pay for Sancho. Nice list.
How close is your basement to Manchester?
Let me see if I understand what you’re saying: you want us to sign worse players to make sure we don’t hurt Rashford’s feelings? Because literally all of the players you listed are objectively worse players than Sancho, although they are very good players and/or talents.
Also, some of them would certainly expect a starting position. Tonali, for example. Apparently he’s heading to Turin to be a regular starter for Juve. What makes you think he’ll be fine being a squad player here!
Kubo? He certainly is a great talent, but he’s simply not on the market, and is far, far away from having shown enough know if he’ll be the real deal (and the real deal is what we need). If we could even make Real pick up the phone regarding a transfer, he’ll cost a fortune.
Jimenez would be bloody expensive, and he’s old-ish compared to Sancho.
I’m sure Camavinga wouldn’t be a cheap signing considering the hype either.
Guendouzi?! Come on, man
Another Amadeus moment... what does that even mean? Are you known for predicting squad sadness or something?
Can’t believe people have started already with x,y,z need to be worried. Having four brilliant forwards to cover 60 games is fantastic and I’m sure they will all be up for it.
Yeah lets sign an Arsenal reject with attitude and ego problems . Another Amadeus masterclass !!1
Just saw it on Sky Sports, no link I'm afraid.
Get out of this thread you stupid whore
To be honest it would be madness not to get Sancho if he's available.
After that, for me, it's a Matic backup/replacement and a CB.
That would put us in a very good position with more additions the following year to improve us further.
Mad that it's the top tweet in their 'Event' thread.
Yeah I really doubt anyone will be unhappy with playing time as there will be plenty going round!
James and Ighalo are excellent back ups and are perfect if you want to prevent this sadness you’re so desperate to avoid.
Our front 6 with depth is basically
Rashford, Martial, Sancho, greenwood, ighalo, James. Plus a few others who might move on. Not bad at all!
I bet Rashford is fuming his mate is about to join him.

Also lists Jimenez who would absolutely want to start and would most likely unsettle Martial.
Can't agree more.
60 games means 45 on average for each. Hell that's a lot already.
Sometime I can't understand the logic of the caf. If we don't sign better players, they moan. If we sign better players, they still moan. What the feck are we supposed to do ??
Continue to finish 20 points off the league leaders? I dunno man, I don’t get it either.
If this happens, we can start rotating between Rashford, Greenwood and Sancho for the wide positions next season. This alone will improve us a lot, not having to resort to Lingard when one of our attacking players is tired. We need this to happen fast and then we can focus on 1 really good CB. Anything on top of that would just be a bonus.
25 years for me lad, long enough supporting the team?
Sign average players, wave a magic wand and make them perform as fantastic players.
I can't wait for Sancho to prove how magical he will make the rw.
Please stop complaining about signing the brightest young talent in Europe right now.
It's madness.
It's madness.
