    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.

    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

    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.

    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

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

    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.

    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.

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

      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.

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