Question: Does the Sancho signing hinder our squad with the emergence of Greenwood?

Where do you fit him, Marti, Rashford, Pogba and Bruno in the same system?
The objective is to play 60 to 70 games a season (EPL, FA cup, champions league)

You need more than just your starters to last the whole season. You need rotation options.

Greenwood is only 18, hasn't had a proper full season as first choice, he won't be capable of maintaining form throughout a full gruelling season, neither will sancho. Rashford and martial are the only ones with a full season under their belts.

It wont be an issue

Yeah good call.

The hype of us having the same starting 11 for 3 games in a row (first time since 2006) gave me the tingles and had me thinking about future options.

For me, its Sancho, a CB (because Baily is not pressing for Lindelorf spot enough), and maybe someone to contest for AWB.

For me another creative option, other than sancho, is a must. Whether that be another midfielder or another winger, it could be either as far as I'm concerned. But 2 creative options in this transfer window is a must.

Awb will be given 2 seasons to show attacking development, if he doesn't theyll be in the market for a replacement. Theyre already looking at a replacement for shaw for this very reason (although Williams might fullfill that need).

A CB is a must, personally I think a partnership of smalling and maguire is more than sufficient but the club has made it pretty clear smalling is not in first team plans and smalling wants first team. So yes another CB will be brought in.

I'm hearing United and Dortmund have agreed on a fee and that announcement of transfer of @Sancho2020 will come after the EPL season has finished.

Van de Beek is also a strong transfer target

Mason greenwood!!!!!!!

What a team!!! First team in the epl to score 3+ goals in 4 consecutive games.

Ole was pissed with that stat, he believes it should have been minimum 5 goals per game.

And I'm loving how this run of form has got them scared and quite quiet!!!!

Greenwood with a belter
I think long martial will be looking over his shoulder for the 9 shirt

Fernandes makes us good, Pogba makes us better. What a duo, club is suddenly looking like we are on the rise again.

Greenwood is a generational talent, the most two footed player I have seen, really quick, great finisher and great ball control and he has that ruthlessness you want in a striker.

Martial's work-rate has gone up quite a few levels, for years he copped it for being too relaxed on the field but he really looks like a great Man Utd striker now, he looks hungry for goals.

Martial can also play behind the striker.

But with a goal of having 60+ games a season its worth having both of them and both of them competing against each other for that spot(it will push the pair of them to further heights)

That happens when you have pgoba and bruno feeding you vs perieria and lingard where he'd probably think "why bother?"

Its good to hear some volume from you guys
It's a marathon, not a sprint. Still need to be in good shape to celebrate next year's title, and the title after, and after that, and after that, and after that, and after that...
