I'd be very surprised if we got Sancho, like others have said he could pretty much walk into any side in the world right now so why would he pick United?
See keysers answer,there are very few cubs who can afford him,if he wants to come to the prem at liverpool he would have salah ahead of him,at city mahrez and sterling ,and imagine if United sign Grealish or Maddison (who would walk over broken glass to play for united apparently) and a world class centre forward ,that would start to look a very interesting proposition to anyone.

A lot of other teams fans still see the headless United of the last 7 years but since Ole has taken over there is most certainly an upward trend and a direction that the club is heading in terms of recruitment and ridding the club of players that aren't good enough. Align that with our history and the fact we're still one of the biggest clubs in world football, we become a good proposition.

Plus Sancho is really good mates with Rashford so it's pretty much a done deal wink

Couldn’t see Sancho coming to us (Liverpool)... as well as him struggling to displace Salah, I doubt we’d spend 100m on a player unless they were Klopp’s 1st/only choice for a position we were weak in (eg; VVD).

I'd love nothing more than to see Sancho at United but I just don't think it will happen, could see him going Barca or Madrid.

Seems to be a good VAR-day for United, clever unseen dive from Ferandes and the Dawson handball which VAR did see.
You’re more objective and knowledgable, obviously. You’re the only person to think there was a dive. Sad person.
If you look at the rerun you can clearly see him lifting his legs before the keeper touches him.

Why ,these are teams that have been in serious decline ,have financial issues and both are currently unwilling or unable to spend money.Barca are in a serious mess they spent £250m on two big flops and have apparently a nasty club atmosphere built up around the fact they pay pittance to the regular staff in order to meet their obligations to Messi .(read up on it)

Also Martial was offside, Deeney was fouled (held by Maguire, Kane world cup style) at the same time Dawson was pushed in to the ball causing him to knock it with his arm.

But it doesn't matter, because United beat little Watford at home, so the media don't need to look in to these.

Come on now, you battled well in the first half then offered pretty much fk all after going behind. As for Deeney being fouled it’s all he deserved after roughing up Lindelof and Fred stopped working he was out of ideas.

Anyone seen the videos of Lingard and Pereira messing about during training? I'm all for the players having a laugh but when your place in the squad is already precarious due to doing pretty much nothing to help the team, the last thing you should be doing is fking handstands over the ball. Neither of them have done anything for a couple of seasons now and Bruno is highlighting just how poor they are. They will both be gone in summer imo.

They have been poor, I agree. You do have to see the pictures in context though; are they on a break, is it in their own time and have they hung around to train on into the late afternoon?
Lingard was a decent prospect, but his demise has coincided with the poor performances by the team and club.
With regard to Bruno, he does look good but there is a way to go to see how much real impact he will have.

fk me. That’s twice in the space of a minute that I’ve agreed with you. I suspect I may have COVID 19.

What happened to Lingard though; is it that he can operate well in a happy crew but doesn't have that extra 10% to dig something out when things aren't going so well? I still think there is a player in there, and he may surprise a few if he moves - it's just got to be to the right team (Roma?).

Considering donating my body to the ocean because this also keeps happening with me and it's weird.

Sadly, I cannot agree. I think he is more like a Sanchez at this point. He has been consistently terrible (not just poor but intolerably awful) for many many games now. I doubt he can recover, but he may stand a chance at a new club.

I think we will all see in the summer because barring another aborted transfer window, he'll be gone.
