I am surprised that such issues were not discussed prior to Chelsea loaning him. Why did they wait 1 year to address this elephant 🐘 in the room?

It will be very hard for United to get rid of Sancho because no one else will be as reckless as United in paying him £300K a week. At this rate, United might just pay out his contract in order to force him to leave (which will still leave them owing Dortmund the outstanding £17 million of Sancho's £75 million transfer fee).
With these useless signings, no wonder they couldn't afford plane tickets for staff and their families for Europa final.

Packerland, you can edit posts to correct typos rather than posting them twice.

Man U should just pay him to stay at Chelsea. What's the point of keeping a player that is not keen on playing for you? Allow Chelsea to do you a favor.

It does not make good business sense for a company to pay its employees to work for a rival company.

Okay. But you were paying part of his salary while he won a cup for Chelsea. Just trying to help you. You can keep an employee that is not happy then.

Paying part of Sancho's salary is a lot better than paying all of his salary (which is what will happen when he returns to United). There are other options such as:

1) Agreeing a severance payment with Sancho;

2) Loaning him out again; or

3) Selling him to another club.

Chelsea and Manchester United are not the only football clubs in the world.

Good luck finding a club in Europe that will accept paying Sancho 350k/wk wages. You can send him to SA though.

There is a good player lurking inside him. He looked dynamite at Dortmund. However, his attitude and professionalism (apparently he has time keeping issues) leave a lot to be desired. Not many clubs want to pay £14.5 million a year to an employee who constantly arrives late for work.

He needs to decide whether he wants football or not. Rashford is reported to be willing to take a pay cut to go to Barcelona

So many stupid clubs out there but ManU probably takes the cake.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp
