The Manchester United Thread

The thing that irks me the most about Sancho isn't necessarily Sancho, rather than United's transfer and development strategy. What was the plan with Sancho? Play him on the right? Then why break the bank for Antony, and getting promising youngster in Amad who also was expensive signing for his age?
On the left? Then what with Rashford? Surely by then they realized he's not a out and out striker, so was the strategy to sell Rashford? Fans would be fuming if that would happen, he's as Red as they get. Then you search the academy and you have Elanga, who's progress has stalled for many reasons, one of them being not playing consistently enough. Also, looking down you'll see Garnacho, who's been tearing it for 3 seasons now.
As attacking midfielder? No one in the world is going there ahead of Bruno. Maybe drop Bruno in Eriksen position, but Bruno is not known for having the discipline or positional sense when it comes to defending.
Now you're left with a player who you can't play because you spent 100m on Antony, Rashford is undroppable for anyone and Sancho isn't a striker. Not to mention that young players who are playing in that position are playing great and they need playing time. You actively did not leave a path for Garnacho and now that Garnacho has emerged as a Rashford deputy, United have a problem.

Where does Sancho play?

It’s definitely an issue with United’s long term vision of lack of. Sancho was Solskjaer’s idea of a right winger. He, however, kept him on the bench in his final months (definitely a head scratcher). In comes Erik Ten Hag who prefers to play with inverted wingers so he needed a left footed right winger.

Maybe he could play a similar role to Jack Grealish at city and just become our very expensive rotation option that can cover both positions or maybe we could get creative and coach him into a false 9 role lol
 
Straight up idiotic from Casemiro. Now it's a 3 match ban, and United is short in midfield.
 
Martinez easily best CB in the league atm. Absolute monster today and so far. It’s great having Ramos to hold Varane hand every match to guide him through these top class performances 😉

Sabitzer looks some addition.

The angle from VAR doesn’t do him any favors

Just been watching highlights of Birminghams match. Hannibal was great in the second half when he came on. Got the assist for the winner in the 97 min. With a great pass
