    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.

      I still think there is a little bit of a pattern with talent going United and then fizzling out into nothing.

      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.

      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.

      Based on performances do you think he is lying? Like was he that bad on the pitch? iirc he had a good pre season.

    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.

      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.

      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”

      They will loan him, then when the other club try to buy him they will try to get " return on investment" and the sale wouldn’t go through

    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.

      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.

          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 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.

      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?

        1. He apologises and United still sell him in January without playing him.

        2. He apologises and United play him. He’s shite. He gets sold later.

        3. He apologises and United play him. He’s good but his teammates aren’t. They win nothing. He tries to force a move.

        4. He apologises and United play him. They win FA Cup, Worthington Cup, and/or Europa league.

        5. He doesn’t apologise. Gets shipped out with a payoff and plays shite somewhere else. He has money and pride.

        6. 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.

    Honestly Manchester United are the worst run club in the Premier by far.

    What fucking idiot thought it was a good idea to give a 20 year old a contract over £250k a week, who already had rumours of a fairly shit attitude?

    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.

      problem is we cant do that cause we refuse to hit a hard reset on the wage bill

      we asked Sancho “what wages”. he pointed out at Martial’s 250k per week contract and said “way more than that since im double the player”.

      Arsenal had the same issues until they just bit the bullet and fucked every overpaid player off.
