Truth is we do not need Sancho, neither do Utd. He improves both teams but not to an extent that is worth shedding 90m out IMO. There are bigger holes to fill than signing even moe wingers.

Wrong.. United need him way more than we do. They need a Right Winger badly... we already have players fit for the role.

Does it really matter if we don't need Sancho? The alternative to that is spending the same amount on someone with the worst touch in professional football.

But those can't be the only alternatives.

Greenwood is effectively a right winger. He already has decent output I don’t see why he can’t step up and reach the same level as Sancho

Greenwood is a striker but Ole using him as a RW since their other options are Diallo and James.

Honestly, considering we could throw Callum in on a one/two year loan deal, which he could greatly benefit from + cash, I would say we do. Based on the fact I've been staring at a block of 8 players+ against us too many times this season. I'm convinced thats why Pep went with such an attacking formation, because if we concede first, we always have such a difficult time when men at behind the ball and commit horrendous errors on the counter. That said, Callum loan + £50-60m, a snip in todays market considering our war chest this year.

I would not mind that deal at all. But only if it does not take cash away from our more urgent issues like striker, midfielder, cb and possibly back up goalie (prolly not too costly). I would also sell Ziyech even at a loss if it facilitates the Sancho move. But i really do not believe any of this will happen sadly

True, I would even throw Ziyech in there. Preferably, I'd like Callum to go to Dortmund, he needs the experience and they have a good pedigree with young English talent, plus some time with Jude might do us well in the future. I echo your point though, pipedreams....

Dortmund would be expecting an option to buy with a deal like that.

Not really, didn't they do the same shit with Reinier.

Ge doesn't have the vision Sancho has and to be honest I think Greenwood is truly a striker but he just isn't developed enough yet to play there ahead of Cavani ect.

I don't get the self entitlement here...

What's amusing is that all of Sancho's "mates" won't likely here next season bar Chilwell.

Chilwell is best buddy, should be enough.

I wouldn’t be disappointed to sign Lukaku because he’s miles better than what we have, that said, it would leave a bit to be desired.

personally, I would take a shot at Ronaldo, even if that’s for a season and then activate Haaland’s release clause. No guarantee he would come to us, but ultimately, as a stop gap I would still take Ronaldo over Lukaku. Pure finisher and capable of interchanging, but also ruthless winning attitude that our young lads need more of. Juve doesn’t want him, they may not have CL due to ban, he won’t cost the world in terms of transfer fee and I would honestly take a shot at someone who is known to keep themselves in peak physical condition and still want to win more.

Look at the striker problem again next summer when Haaland is available or elsewhere.
