Doesn't mean he was training with the squad. Might be the same as Smalling and Rojo with us who are coming in earlier on their own to train as they're expecting to leave.
That would be entirely up to the club to have its own policy. However, what you're saying wouldn't work in an open and free market. Each club will have different needs and will value players according to their needs and pay.
I dont expect us to sign him until closer to the end of the window personally
Day today big
I fully expect him to be in the squad for Dortmund today, and yet its still only a matter of time till we sign him. Dealio on the verge of being done.
I expect us to sign him today.
Happy 1000 week!
Good to see Rio putting pressure on the club, even if it doesn't result in him being signed, having pundits who have a legendary status around the club and supporters at least holds the club accountable and brings more attention to their ambition
Today's the day.
In which we're getting over 1000 pages!

Happy Perisic or Pukki day!
That brief about a breakthrough is looking a bit strange now. Makes me wonder exactly what the club are playing at.
Drip feeding news, it's all just exposure for the club a fee was probably agreed weeks ago.
If United weren't buying him, it would have been made clear last month, just like Dybala or any other saga.
Correct, and yet people still want to pretend its not dealio doneio.
Just keeping the muppet emotions in check. Like some said, once the season starts/window closes, it will get forgotten.
Did we brief we gave up on Bruno when we decided to re-pursue him in Jan? I don't recall we did. Even if we don't sign Sancho this window, I don't doubt we'd be back in for him next summer, so it would probably be similar circumstances.
Yea, we could go into the season with just VDB and I don't think we will be able to do enough for them to even give a shit. Way I see it is, if we haven't signed Sancho, or someone of similar quality before the window closes, their intentions as owners have been made crystal clear, if they weren't already
I do think it’s concerning that the German media have largely stayed quiet and also the fact Dortmund haven’t gone out and signed a replacement. Usually when a deal is imminent you’ll hear mumblings that the selling club has alternatives lined up.
I’m sure it’s been said the best young player over the last year or two is Mbappe or even haaland. How is it all of a sudden sancho now that we may or may not sign him
7 pages to go... this is not only the day. This is the page..
I thought this was nailed on? Now headlines saying Bale instead of Sancho? Massive drop of quality right there.
Which other saga did we brief that we have moved on from? I feel like that has only happened a couple of times.
Like I've said many times in this thread, I don't expect that brief this time. It'll cause too much uproar and negativity. I think they'll just let it simmer on and hope the fans get distracted like lemmings once the football starts. A good performance in the first couple of games and nobody will be bothered about Sancho. It's always the same.
Liking the the optimism
Sadly, you're right.
Correct. There's now too little time and its gone too quiet for this to progress.
Sancho is better than Haaland imo.
Yep. Then when we inevitably go through some bad form cause our squad is shite and our management/board are incompetent, they will leak some information about us pursuing a DOF, only for it to amount to nothing. If we are lucky, they may throw us a bone and sign a panic buy in January, which may get us over the line to what is considered an acceptable season these days - top 4. If not, they sack the manager and we repeat this whole dance again.
It felt needless though. It's not like everybody is kicking off. All it did was raise expectations again when the fire had almost burnt out.
That's our club in a nutshell. We ain't winning anything worthwhile any time soon.
Yep, 7 more pages to 1000
My perception is, they probably did make progress in regards to player and agent fees and due to the metric feck tonne of negativity around the club this summer, leaked the info, fully expecting to be able to negotiate a better price with Dortmund.
They have alternatives to field. They've signed Bellend and probably that lad from City.
They pride themselves on giving young players a chance; go for it. It's all about 2nd place in the Bundesliga for them anyway
I'm going to chip in with a post to get this one over the line! Well done everybody for getting it this far, just a little bit longer and it's a fact.
Don't see it is happenning, but don't see it is not hapenning either. Ed Woodward makes me confused.
Its happening today.
1. 14 is a multiple of 7
2. Lingard's number is 14 (our best ever player)

Thank god for social distancing, you would kill at a party.
Let it play out, rather than be so downcast already.
Dortmund have a game today, don't they? If we are going to hear any further noises on a bid or anything like that, it will be likely tomorrow. They won't want it to distract their game. Hope to hear some rumblings tonight though. Whether Sancho is in the match day squad or not is also a telling indication
I can’t see it. Too little noise now when you’d expect it to heat up.
Just want our matches to come now so we can focus on non-transfer United stuff.

I was optimistic until last night, not so much today
