Only way this makes sense to me is we're selling Sancho and just keeping Sabitzer because we can't get De Jong and Ten Hag wants to wait a year to sign a #8 or hilariously, try again for De Jong.
Rashford(Garnacho)-----Striker(Weghorst, Martial)---------Antony(Amad, Pellistri)
------------------------------------------Bruno(Mount)----------------------------------------------
------------Eriksen(Sabitzer, Fred)----------Casemiro(DM)---------------------------
we're not any better apart from up front, but we suddenly don't have huge weaknesses if Casemiro or Bruno misses a game.
My wild guess is he ends up at Spurs, who don't have any sort of #10 at all. Or he's right around the club record signing for a club like Leicester (replacing Maddison) or Forest (GibbsWhite-Mount-Johnson behind a striker looks pretty promising) at 40M, unless he wants to go abroad. West Ham could work too, firing Moyes and throwing out Mount and Paqueta in front of a Rice replacement at DM and actually try to play football again.
I think he'd do well at Leipzig, maybe if they sell Dani Olmo for a huge whack of cash they'd buy him.
