Would you sell Jadon Sancho this summer? And do you think he will be sold?

Difficult to control when he keeps giving the ball away. We need to stop making excuses for Sancho, he needs to step up or leave. He is levels below Garnacho who is having his first full season at the club.

I'm not making excuses for him, I think it's worth pointing out that he's more suited to a team that plays with a high line and tries to dominate and control rather than rely on transitions. And I think we'll be closer to a controlling team next season as ETH gets to shape the squad more in his image.

It's also worth pointing out that it'd be extremely difficult to offload him given his wages, so we may as well persevere and use him as an effective squad player in the worst case scenario (which he was this season imo - he's been nowhere near as bad as some are making out)
 
No club would want him, and loaning him out would never do any good for his development.

I guess we just have to swallow it. Bad transfers happen every time for a big club, although they seem to happen more often at our club.

Eden Hazard, Antoine Griezmann, and Romelu Lukaku (to Chelsea), to name a few.

A good manager should do his best to utilize his players. I hope Ten Hag will find a way to restore Sancho's career.
 
He's one of the biggest disappointments I've witnessed in a Utd shirt. Gutless, slow, fearful, poor decision making, does one good little thing follows it up by an error. I just can't get my head around how poor he's been.

He's had a few moments in two seasons, never even a real run of games where you think this is it, he's going to kick on.

I usually just feel sad watching him. Today I was annoyed, you can't be showing that little fight in a cup final.

He will get another season, but I just don't think he's going to turn it around here.

Sell him, martial and elanga. They aren't good enough. Don't expect them to suddenly become superstars.

I'd sell these 2, they barely play. Sancho at least seems ready to play most weeks but I think he could end next season being no.3 on the left.

I don't know if Amad will come in but he'd be no.2 on the right unless Sancho can stake a place there.

We are yet to see the full repertoire of EtH's development skills. He got this boy back to work for a start, hopefully there's more.

I'm sure Erik is a good coach, but even he can't make a player grow a pair of balls if he doesn't have them.
 
If he was purchased on a smaller fee, I’d give him chance.
As we payed £80m for him, he should have been setting the league alight from day1.
Two years on we have youngster coming through who seem to better technically and mentally.
Unfortunately like Maguire we are gonna run at a big loss to get rid of him.

When he starts it already feels like we are playing with one less player on the pitch.

I’d be selling this summer.
 
I would sell but I don't think he will be sold. His salary is too high and the fee required to avoid taking a heavy loss is unobtainable based on his current form.

Agree. Although unlikely, we really should move sancho on too.
 
Have his mental health issues, the cause of his bad form as diagnosed by various posters, has that been sorted now? It doesn't get a mention anymore.
 
Don't think he will be sold but should be. What is going to change, limited physically and he has no dog in him.

Sure plays like he is on valium.

He won't be sold and hopefully they will work on his fitness and strength pre-season.

It must be his last chance at the club.
 
As somebody else has said, we play the wrong system to suit him. I think he'd be very good in a possession based pass and move system, I actually think he'd be a fantastic replacement for Bernardo Silve if he goes to Barca. I see him being more suited to City's style
 
Was he on around £250k and £13m/year at Dortmund? He has 3 years left on his £350k a week contract which equates to around £18m/year, the difference is around £5m per year, if Dortmund really is interested then I think a deal can be had with us paying Sancho around £10-£15m. I don’t think it’s as difficult as it’s made out given his current salary, as long as someone is still interested in paying a respectable transfer fee.

Not sure how much but he was on big wages there and those figures sound about right.
 
Loved his first goal against Liverpool at OT. Set us on the ball rolling to a no of good wins at home against top 4 opponents. But need to be more courageous as a United player and get more involved. He just tends to drift out of games too much. Fearing this will be another Kagawa and Mikitryhan outcome. Maybe our direct style of football just doesn't quite suit him.
 
If ETH can turn Sancho into a very good EPL players that would be some amazing management. No way he will be sold for the many reasons stated above. Career defining season ahead for him.

He didn't have mental health issues, that was something said on the caf. ETH implied it was more of a mentality issue.

This unfortunately. Unless Sancho himself wants out and willing to take a wage cut to thrive at Dortmund or somewhere again. I don’t see it happening.

The caf expect to challenge for titles but at the same time are willing to allow players a huge amount of leeway in terms of their performances this season. If Sancho was at Real, Barca, Bayern, City or even Chelsea for example, he'd be up for sale
 
There was a tweet that ETH is looking for another winger (probably nonsense). But if true, that may mean Sancho's days are numbered, especially given all the other options we already have.

I agree, but FFP rules mean we can't sell him for too low a fee this season.
 
I would gladly sell 100% of the squad. I have no emotional attachment to any one player as long as it's for the good of the club.

The issue is after we sell, do we invest in the right players?
 
Needs to go as he has been given enough time to establish himself. If it is a mentality issue with him then that is not good for his team mates & club. I had hoped that yesterday he would shine in the big game but again he was not up to it. Like Maguire he is symptom of the clubs ineptness in the recent past in spotting talentless players and paying over the price with inflated wages hoping that they will come good. Sell Him!!
 
He will stay at least one more year, as we clearly don’t have enough options and it would be foolish to assume Amad or Pellistri can step in to take his minutes.
 
FFP and the fact our homegrown quota might look thin, depending on who else comes/goes, means he'll likely stay by default.
 
Rashford last season

Rashford this season

Give him a final year. Martial and Elanga can go.

Good you mentioned B. Silva, comparing them B. Silva presses as hell, this is crucial for this possession based teams. He's also almost impossible to wrestle off the ball, Sancho is as strong as wet tissue paper. Sancho would struggle with the demands of Pep's system. Just having nice technique with the application doesn't cut it.
 
I'm coming around to the mentality monsters line of thinking. I'd rather have guys like Fred, McT and WW rather than players with seemingly more talent but just fold under pressure like Martial or Sancho. It's not just about the final or the big games, neither Martial nor Sancho can play themselves into a game when things aren't working for them. They just seemingly give up. Whereas Bruno has plenty of stinkers but every time he has the ball even when he's playing poorly I expect him to do something amazing.

We have a good group of fighters in our squad: Antony, Garnacho, Rashford, Martinez, Casemiro, Bruno, Varane, Fred, WW and even Shaw these days. Just need to complement them with similar players. This is what defines Man Utd for me. The winning is a side effect of players and coaches with this sort of desire and determination.

I think Kane would be up for it, not sure about Mount. Either way if it were up to me I'd get rid of Sancho.
 
Its one thing to try things in a match and the opposition is so strong, it just doesnt come off. Yesterday, he just looked like he wanted anyone else but him to have the ball. He was dreadful sadly. You cant make it with that attitude, sadly. Someone in his position, on those wages create things out of nothing. He didnt do that.

We can have the best of both world's. Players with both the mentality and talent. None of those listed above would qualify for both, but there are players out there who would.

Rashford still actually tried and wanted the ball last year at least. Sancho is just awful and it’s got to the point where every time he gets the ball I just know he’s going to do nothing with it.

This is false m. Rashford last year was comfortably worse than Sancho this year
