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.

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.

[–] curly_cuh_puh@alien.top 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] derpferd@alien.top 2 points 1 year ago

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

Even United fans must be sick of this story.

This is like that situation where Tony punches Ralph Cifaretto in season 3

Random unexpected "The Sopranos" references are like dopamine to me. There should be more Sopranos references imo. Hehehe.

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

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.

[–] njuffstrunk@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] nandorkrisztian@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They hope he is like Joao Felix who gave up most of his salary to play somewhere he would be happy.

Apologise or face exit

If it gets to this, exit is inevitable

I swear we keep hearing this story too. A few weeks ago they reported Rashford, Maguire, and Shaw all approached him.

[–] taclealacarotide@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Excellent_Jeweler_43@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not sure which club would get him on those big ass wages though

[–] PowderEagle_1894@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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'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.

Sa who: I don't think I will

[–] pin_you@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] CritChanceZero@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

From a business perspective I find it so weird how openly and loudly Manchester United are shouting that Sancho has zero place at the club currently. Every week there's a new story or 'leak' that devalues their own asset.

[–] smokebandido2x@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

your first mistake is to assume these articles are coming from united "business"

this one is obviously a leak from a player or players and the other article making rounds today is clearly from jadons camp w the amount of "not my boy its all them" in the article

united released one obvious briefing and that was early on, detailing the infraction, response, rationale, and backing ten hag.

second mistake is to assume we're trying to sell him in the first place. we're trying to reintegrate him, which is why theres only been one briefing from united pet journalists that outlined nothing but a path back

if he gets sold, thats the worst case and a loss in all avenues anyway. theres no need to shine him up. and so the only time a united let journalist has come out, its been to say "this is what jadon did, this is the punishment and why, this is how he can come back"

[–] YQB123@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They read more like Sancho leaks than United's.

The latest has a pithy tone of him being isolated from training solo, etc.

United wouldn't leak it like that.

Don't want to him back. Bad attitude and a bad influence. He clearly doesn't appreciate anything

[–] lemoeeee@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

yeah because the other players care if sancho stays at home or plays for another club. bullshit mouthpiece article

[–] Constant__18@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] NotAsimppp@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He knows he has no future and that's why he put that statement out. Even if he apologizes there is no way ETH will play him again. The best option would be for him to stick by his words, enjoy the united wage and go out on loan in January

[–] ndlogok@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Overpay player

[–] Mozzafella@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

In all this, I've completely forgotten what he did wrong in the first place

Cake or death??!!!!!

[–] Dophie@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

In-memoriams don't usually include how they died.

[–] malonedawg@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

My god this story is boring now

Once it gets to this point, there's no going back. Sancho will surely always carry resentment for Ten Hag, and I can't see Ten Hag being able to trust Sancho again.

Only thing to be done is get Sancho out the door.

[–] yellowjesusrising@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If only there existed something that can uncover such behaviour before we sign them... Like some football private detective we could hire...

[–] -_Mamas_Kumquat_-@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard No big loss for united

[–] EdgeLordMcGravy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why would Sancho leave when he's on 250kpw?

Contract runs until Jun 2026. Pay up, Glazers.

[–] chefdangerdagger@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.
