Even if we sell Sancho it doesn't make much sense. We have Rashford and Garnacho, you don't need more than 2 players per position. If Sancho sale opened up funds it should go towards making sure we sign 2 strikers this summer instead of just 1.
Signing a LW this summer?
- Thread starter sullydnl
- Start date
It would be a very United thing to do to not sign a forward and just stick Rashford there. It's not the actions of a club with ambitions to catch City
No chance that's happening
Shocking choice, imo. Constantly injured.
Sancho hasn't been prolific approaching his third season. I think fans ought not to be dissuaded just because there's many wide players at the club bar Rashford they are all along the lines of either showing promise or underperforming. That is the summation of the wide areas at United, if the club go after a Chiesa, Gnoto and even Marcus Edwards I think these all respectively are good moves. There's no shortage of players who would offer more than some of the players in and around the first team in the wider positions.
So we are going to sign Neymar aren’t we.
Interesting. Probably ETH does not see Hojlund as the min ST so it will be:
ST: Rashford, Hojlund
LW: Garnacho, New guy/Rashford, Sancho
RW: Antony, Sancho
ST: Rashford, Hojlund
LW: Garnacho, New guy/Rashford, Sancho
RW: Antony, Sancho
I don't think signing a Left Winger should be high on our list of priorities. We would stunt the development of Garnacho for a start. We should stick with Rashford/Garnacho for that side, and buy a striker to go up top to rotate with Rashford when Garnacho starts.
I'd love Felix, but I think he's PSG bound.
Neymar. 
We need a guy that scores 10 and assists 10 as long as Rashford is moving to ST and Garnacho is not the one.
Kvaratskhelia wouldn't interest you?
It makes sense if Rashford is to be the one to play through the middle.
The talent pool available to provide depth at LW is larger than the pool of available centre forwards.

God no.Neymar.
Yeah this is most likely. I don't think ETH trusts Sancho so it might be the reason we are also looking for a LW. Amad/Pellistri could most likely deputise on the RW.
He would but pricetag would be enormous
What about hijacking Gnonto deal worth about £20m young and looked very dangerous last season
Scored at Old Trafford last year too
Lots of good left wingers out there in fairness, don't think the guy that makes any sense to buy. His production is nothing of note and he makes Martial look durable.
If we do have a new LW it will probably be Telles, back from loan so just like a new signing.
God yes, but he'd be 100 million
More like sign a right winger and then play them on the left am I right?
Zaha is a free agent. He can play LW and ST just like Rashford, that can give us some flexibility during games.
If we're in for a LW, can we get that guy from Napoli? How realistic is that?
Sign Zaha on a free and Ivan Toney for January.
Until there is proof of some money coming in, don't think anything is realistic. We are broke.
Hasn't Zaha agreed personal terms with 3 teams or so.
I saw a rumour about that. That to me tells me he's not sure where he wants to go and I'd be pretty confident we'd be the biggest club in for him.
It's a good shout, but might be hard to convince him to come back here after what happened the first time around.
He would want Saudi kinda salary.
Nah he got an offer from Saudi which was significantly smaller than the crazy ones we've been seeing so he knows that's off the table. He would want a good salary but we'd still save money with him being on a free.
Excellent player on a free who can do a job up front and also has something we desperately lack which is the ability to regularly beat a man.
Yo Neymar it’s sunny innit.
Christian Pulisic about to be sold for £21m. He can play on either flank and through the middle. Still on 24, Champions League winner.
He's not good enough and is made of glass. United got the better 24 year old CL winner from Chelsea.
Makes no sense at all, unless we’ve somehow given up on Garnacho or plan to sell him to Real…which would be criminal negligence.
So you’re going to be cheering loudly when Sancho is named in the starting XI? This is also about building up squad depth. Pulisic is going for cheaper than we’re selling Fred for. Pulisic doesn’t have the injury problem you think he does. He played 25 times last season, but the absences were more due to falling out of favor with the manager. He was out with a knee problem for 59 days last term, missing 11 games. https://www.transfermarkt.com/christian-pulisic/verletzungen/spieler/315779
There's a french dude playing for PSG who plays in the left wing looking to move

Yeah to Real
I still think the most likely solution is:
CF: Rashford/Hojlund
LW: Sancho/Garnacho
RW: Antony/Amad
But I guess another possibility might be:
CF: Rashford/Hojlund
LW: New Player/Garnacho
RW: Antony/Sancho
The new LW might be a contingency in case Amad fails to impress during preseason.
