Yes we got the Sanchez that was at Arsenal the previous season (he was not good that last 6-8 months there). We wanted the Sanchez that was at Arsenal prior to that. With Sterling, I don’t think his levels have dropped, he’s just playing in a mess of a club. Now he can swap that for our mess of a club!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

i'm sorry but i would rather have a 29 yr old Sterling than a 24 yr old Sancho who can't beat a player 1v1 or a 24 yr old Antony that can't beat anyone 1v1
sterling is a better dribbler than either nad probably both combined

There’s only one Chelsea right sided attacker we should be going for and it isn’t Sterling
It is never ever a good idea so sign wingers coming up to 30 on anything more than a super short term deal.
I presume we're interested because he can also play on the left. We don't need a RW.
I'm talking about what year, genius.
It’s 2024. You’re welcome.
I'd take him on a year loan, any form of long term contract id rather not.

It’s possible. You just don’t want his people reassessing things when he doesn’t start as much as he wants. If he can regain any form he’s a plus and I for one am glad he’s not ready for Sunday. Anyway add him to the nearly 150 million spent this summer which means ETH will have to make a title challenge with no excuses.
Literally no one at United is expecting that. If he makes top four I think he keeps his job. Should he keep his job is another question.
He possibly could ahead of Rashford or Amad but not Garnacho. Over the past 2 seasons combined he has not outperformed Rashford so its touch and go.
He was dropped from the England squad for a reason
Try watching performances
Also Sterling stats over the past 2 seasons are not better than Rashfords if you want to go the stats route
I would take Sterling on loan with Chelsea covering majority of his wages only
That one can probably fall under "player with big strengths and massive weaknesses is chucked out by new manager with new system/preferences" which happens fairly regularly.
Have you watched Sterling over the last year or two? He's been fecking useless and he's nearly 30. Sancho was playing in the CL Semis last season, putting in MOTM performances against PSG, giving the fastest LB I know (Davies) the run around against Bayern.
Yes, probably the only two clubs in the world who would do a swap that helps neither. The contest here is which of the two can convince the other for a slightly shittier deal.
I've got bad news for you.
Sterling was the worst dribbler of the three last season. A terrible combo of high attempts along with one of the worst success rates imaginable. Statistically it's been 4 years since he was even a league average dribbler.
I think we'll get the better deal because, you know, Boehly. Probably ask for Sterling plus £30M in exchange for Sancho and our first draft pick.
Just started watching his interview with Kenyon (haven’t forgiven him for effing up ronaldinho transfer) and he confirmed Ronaldo interview is coming up.
Liverpool - Sir Matt Busby
City - Dennis Law
Chelsea - about time we got a good one.
At least we have a ready made replacement if, god forbid, we're ever missing Rashford.
Can he play no.9?
please not Sterling, i'd rather take the cash
How our standards have fallen!!
It doesn't make sense to use his omission from the England squad as a measure of his ability. The reality is that neither of our wingers would likely make it into the current England team, which is stacked with talent.
If Boehly is willing to talk to us about Palmer, we're listening.
Considering the window we're having, this is a overreaction with or without Sterling.
How many players have played for United, Liverpool and City?
swapping a 23 y.o washed up player for a 30 y.o washed yp player. What could go wrong?
Yikes, at least Sancho only has 2 years left in his contract. Sterling will ask for a 3-4 years contract

stats don't always tell the entire truth.....ffs you've watched antony and sancho the past two years and you would still rather have those two guys???I've got bad news for you.

Yikes. Forgot Sir Matt managed Liverpool before us and Dennis Law was signed from City. Silly me.
Great window this summer, Yoro, Zirkzee, De Ligt, Mazraoui, and Ugarte, I hope to god we don't mess up the good work by signing a 29 terrible and overpaid player who cause a ruckus if he is benched.
Don’t rate him. Don’t like him. Don’t want him. This would be a backwards move. The fans would be on his case as well. Chelsea fans never liked him from the off.
The only thing he does well is diving. Please. We do not need him.
Absolutely not. Swap Sancho for one of their 50 midfielders.
Sancho for 40m + loan for Sterling would not be a bad deal. Everyone seems to think we're stacked in the wings. Reality is, we only have 1 proper winger in Garnacho. Rashford and Antony are worse than Sterling right now. Amad, while having potential, hasn't shown he can take control of games yet to make that right wing his. Loan will not be a bad option.
Can't understand why fans is against signing Sterling rather than Sancho sitting on the bench or loan and eventually leaving on free. Most of us won't not sign Sterling but if it helps to get rid of Sancho, I will most certainly do that. As long as the financial outlay is less than keeping Sancho, I will do this deal anyday anytime. Please remember that the problem is Sancho that we are trying to solve.
