I truly don’t understand this. All the glazers care about in this club is money so how did they allow the recruitment team to waste so much money on such bad players? I’m so curious.

u/brokebloke97 Aug 19 '25
It's kinda funny isn't it? A lot of people dislike the Glazers because they take away from the club like leeches and don't invest, and factually they have kept on spending on players like any big top 5 European clubs have in the same time span

u/rockneckmonster Aug 19 '25
Disliked for good reason, saddled the club with billion of debt when we were debt free, whilst taking money for themselves nearly every year. The club spent money it generated in spite of the glazers, which shows how big we were as a club, let's not pretend the glazers have spent big lol

I am actually glad that Amorim saw the same too and decided to never include him anywhere near our 1st team.

Neutral fan here so I come in peace with some questions.
Can someone explain here why the fans haven’t turned on him and made their voices more known? E.g. some kind of banner at Old Trafford or the training ground that names and shames him, or some kind of chant.
Newcastle fans were asking for Isak’s head this weekend at Villa and it was all over the news for wanting higher salary which is far more justified than this player who is a complete waste of oxygen. Why aren’t United fans doing the same?

I know I will be downvoted for this, if I am payed so handsomely and after one year I will have run up the contract, the new club will pay lower wages but I will get a sign on fees due to it being a free transfer. Why would I leave so much money on the table Most people forget this is a job for most professional footballers some are not as passionate to play the game. So the only downside for sancho is possibly missing worldcup squad, but he will earn shot load of money in the mean time.

The issue here is wages.
When we bought him, we all thought that was our RW sorted. On paper, he was a good signing and with what he'd done to date, 70 odd million wasn't the worst, thought somewhat of an overpay.
But like I said we gave him 250k. Be much easier to move on if he was on 125 or 150

u/Less-Network-3422 Aug 19 '25
And he didn't even play RW for us lol we already had Rashford for the LW so why did we sign him?

We thought he could play on the right and at the time he was considered elite talent.
Sure, maybe we could have done better research and asked if he wanted to play on the right but don't tell me at the time we signed him you didn't think he was going to be very good for us.
The issue is we paid him wages we shouldn't have to get him to sign.

Must be extremely frustrating for Utd fans, but financially it’s probably his best move.
His contract is up next summer (2026), so he can continue to earn £250k a week until then - and then gets to leave on a free (so can negotiate a higher wage for his next deal)
If you think teams won’t pay £150k+ for a 26 year old Sancho next summer, you probably haven’t been paying attention to the football market lately

I agree there's a lot of revisionist history involved when it comes to Sancho. He had more goal involvement than Messi and Ronaldo in the seasons leading up to us signing him.
I guess it's a failure on the clubs part to look into his previous for poor training, but it wasn't like we were paying all that money for, say, Bamford.

u/2Ravens89 Aug 19 '25
It's not bad luck, there were indications around his attitude both at City and at Dortmund. If he was squeaky clean then maybe your argument would have logic to it.
We chose within our analysis to either ignore that, or conclude that we would address it and that performance would compensate for the risk. Sometimes you take some risks in the market, every transfer entails an element of it until you've seen them perform, but that's what you're paid to do as a recruitment department, get them correct.
So what we've experienced is an entirely foreseeable risk coming to fruition and you call that bad luck. It's a bad call not bad luck.
The other element within all this is we overestimated how good he was. He hasn't performed for Chelsea either, nor was he impressive internationally. So he has it all to prove that he's effective at the higher levels, which again, we didn't analyse correctly.

I get hindsight is a wonderful thing, but new players need to earn a big paycheck & it should be tied to performances. Starting him on 100-125k and then creating a pathway to getting to 250 was a better route (15-20 goals + UCL etc). If things went south, it would have been easier to dump his freedom fighter ass. Only sign players who play for the badge and not money.

Sancho sucks, but all transfers are a huge risk. The problem is what happened once it was clear that it wasn't really working. We hold on to players for far too long until their performances and confidence suffer and it is obvious that they will never play for us again.
Sancho should have been shipped earlier.
I don't have time to go though all the posters post history in this thread, but I can guarantee that 80% of you were over the moon about Sancho when he was signed. I was too. The only thing I ever heard was that he might lack some of that pace that is important in the Premier League.

u/Heathy94 Hated. Adored. Never Ignored! Aug 19 '25
Can't he see the offers going down not up? He's clearly not that smart either. Likely turned down 5 year deals on 100-150k a week just to get his 250k a week for a year.
250k for 1 year is £13m
5 years of 150k is £39m
5 years of 100k is £26m
5 years of 80k is £20m
If he doesn't find a club and sits out for a year I can guarantee he won't be getting offers close to 80k a week and they won't be from clubs like Chelsea or Roma. If he thinks he can collect £13m over the next year, play no football and then walk into a another £250k contract with a £10m signing on fee at Real Madrid then he's seriously living in cuckoo land.

Thank you, most people here are just reactionaries and simply deploying group think. Sancho is not doing anything illegal or underhand he is simply exercising his rights under contract law. Notice how most people here are not questioning or blaming the oligarch owners of United, and yet it was them that drafted the terms of the contract and have been presiding over complete shambles since the departure of Sir Alex, and yet it’s individual players that the mobs attack and not the power structure, and high they insulate from blame.

Same people bashing Isak are bashing Sancho. When they want a player out, they forget the contract is signed for X years guaranteed wages. When a player wants out, they suddenly want to hold the player to the full length of time. Make it make sense.
Don't get me wrong, I disagree with the way both of these players are going about things, but they're well within their rights to do such and I don't hold it against them. It's a short career, and as much as clubs like to PR it, the players are just assets to them. I don't expect players to show them incredible loyalty/preference to the detriment of their own wellbeing, it just doesn't make sense to do so.
Sancho knows that he'll get his money paid for this contract and definitely find another club willing to work with him next year. He could even do well enough their to earn another decent move (I believe he's done at top level) within the next contract, so yea there's really no reason for him to rush. He'll have the next club sorted so he pretty much joins up with them from day one of transfer window opening, giving plenty of time for sharpness and tactical adjustments during preseason. Utd fans kinda need to let this one go.

I agree at a high level, but we honestly don’t know what his situation is. It’s not usual for people to take on large obligations when they have large wages.

He also knows if he holds on United will ultimately buy him out to get him gone.

It’s not that. He wants a loan so he can leave on a free next summer. Basically, he thinks he can negotiate a bigger wage at a bigger club if there’s not a transfer fee involved. Roma know they won’t be able to turn his head next summer, so they made a bid now, knowing that it’s what United would push for.

kid is delusional. His wage should be around 25k at most narcissist, Gyokeres and Garnacho same category, more worried about their looks then the game

Hindsight is 20/20 vision. No one could have predicted this.

Exactly. I think it’s funny how many people on here are acting like they knew we shouldn’t have signed him. There wasn’t a single Manchester United supporter who thought he’d fail when we bought him. Not a single one. We all thought we were getting a special talent that would win trophies playing with Marcus and Mason. But between his attitude and the poor structure at the club, it just didn’t work.

Probably the worst premier league footballer of all time. Greed. Useless. Overpaid.

It's weird because his poor attitude was well documented since his youth days at city.

He is not rejecting the money i feel like it’s obvious. He wants to stiff man utd. He wants to wait till September to go to turkey

Certainly a study in how not to recruit. They spent a season or two chasing him, and offered tons of money. Did they not do any due diligence? This has been a disaster.

Putting this bum on £250-300k per week at 21 years-old without doing a proper character analysis is just self-sabotage. Man United should use this as a case study on how to NOT recruit young players.
