15years ago Fergie would have had his head on a pike
Teacher here.
Sancho is like that kid in high school who used to do all the work and had all the answers but hasn’t lifted a pencil in years while on thier phone not listening and now all of a sudden is realizing they have to put together a 3 page essay that was due yesterday and can’t for the life of them stitch together 5 sentences.
City had these problems with him, that’s why he was sold. Even if he apologised tomorrow, he should still be shipped out. No one will pay him the wages he’s on at United though, so we’ll have to pay him off.
If United were a serious club, Sancho would have been out of the door as soon he was openly not 100% committed to Ten Hag’s project, just as City threw out Cancelo last year. Issue being is that they’ve never had any idea where to play him or how to get the best out of him, like basically all of their signings post Ferguson.
Even United fans must be sick of this story.
Ten Haag needs to rid himself and the club of Sancho. For his sake. For the club’s sake.
Do what Klopp did with Sakho in his first season. Kick him out,make it clear, my way or get the fuck out.
Watch that whole squad fall in line
Sancho: “Don’t threaten me with a good time”
Overpay player
Apologise or face exit
If it gets to this, exit is inevitable
I mean… With everything that’s come out I would imagine an exit is exactly what he wants at this point? It’s hardly an ultimatum.
Surely more likely he’s already told the club he wants to leave and they’re now looking to create a narrative that is “he didn’t apologise so we moved him on”. And I’m not criticising utd here, given the hand they have right now I would also be playing those cards.
Not sure which club would get him on those big ass wages though
United gonna pay at least half of his wage for a short 6 months loan and hope a Saudi club would come knocking in the summer
I don’t think Sancho agrees to go to the Saudi League. Plenty of players have rejected moving to the Saudi League, Lukaku is one such example.
From that Twitter post he made it sounds like he still rates himself. Fair enough, I’d really like to see how he does outside of United/EPL, people forget that Mbappe vs. Sancho was a genuine debate to be had at some point, talent like that doesn’t evaporate especially when a player has not had career ending injuries
I’m convinced he just wants out at this point. Hasn’t exactly been spectacular, Man U isnt doing as well as he would have hoped and he has created himself the image of being a lazy difficult player.
Is there a win for him at United though?
-
He apologises and United still sell him in January without playing him.
-
He apologises and United play him. He’s shite. He gets sold later.
-
He apologises and United play him. He’s good but his teammates aren’t. They win nothing. He tries to force a move.
-
He apologises and United play him. They win FA Cup, Worthington Cup, and/or Europa league.
-
He doesn’t apologise. Gets shipped out with a payoff and plays shite somewhere else. He has money and pride.
-
He doesn’t apologise. Gets shipped out and restarts his career successfully. He has money and says I told you so.
I don’t think all of these are equally likely but apologising probably isn’t going to work out for him at this point.
I mean Utd defo ain’t winning anything so you can rule out 4.

Sancho, and England for that matter, should be a lesson for all English players abroad.
I swear we keep hearing this story too. A few weeks ago they reported Rashford, Maguire, and Shaw all approached him.
I’m not sure tbh. If he wasn’t an idiot, swallowed his pride, apologized, got his head down, trained seriously, I’d be suprised if after a while he wouldn’t get a shot again.
United PR threatening to “sell” Sancho won’t actually force other teams to pay his stupid high wages
And releasing stories about how lazy he is to show how well Ten Hag is dealing with him will also not help
But another year of stories of X overated player on massive wages set to be sold, and then getting no bids incoming
ship him to Dortmund, he would cut pay for them
So, exit it is then.
He’s got no interest in apologising because that’s essentially backtracking on calling ETH a liar, which most will generally take to mean he was lying himself.
For all the “United is a talent graveyard” comments (and they’re not entirely untrue) it’s so frustrating to have the ‘talent’ be so lazy and unmotivated.
it’s so frustrating to have the ‘talent’ be so lazy and unmotivated
Allegedly he was having mental health issues. It’s always odd to me that people say this kind of thing, but when a player speaks out about the abuse they get and how they are treated by the public everyone jumps on the bandwagon and shows sympathy. Unmotivated maybe, but maybe he has some shit going on that makes it difficult to do his job. If I expressed that I had a mental health issue and my boss started telling people I was lazy or whatever (if he said that) ain’t no way I’m apologizing about that.
I guess now it’s time for people to dogpile until he comes out saying he lost a cousin or something and everyone will say people were too hard.
Based on performances do you think he is lying? Like was he that bad on the pitch? iirc he had a good pre season.
I still think there is a little bit of a pattern with talent going United and then fizzling out into nothing.
The thing is a lot of talents you bought over the past years seem to be lazy and unmotivated but maybe that’s just survivorship bias on my side. It does look like there’s a lack of mental coaching going on.
Generally people need to be motivated by something, and it seems like the club isn’t giving them much to be motivated or inspired by.
What incentive does Sancho have to apologise really? He’s getting 350k a week and doesn’t seem to care too much that he’s not playing.
Also ETH is currently the favorite odds-wise to be the next premier league sacking. Sancho might be able to just wait him out and honestly he may not have to wait too long.
They hope he is like Joao Felix who gave up most of his salary to play somewhere he would be happy.
tbh it’s probably better for his career to go on loan and potentially get back in form. And ETH might not even be there once gets back.
Cake or death!!!
Funny thing is, even if we signed Bellingham, the situation would still be the same because nobody seems to realize how bad things are at the team. Bellingham would almost certainly have been accused of being overpaid or thinking he was better than he actually was by now. Until we have a team that is run with some sort of vision, I’m done even blaming the players.
