If it gets to this, exit is inevitable
I swear we keep hearing this story too. A few weeks ago they reported Rashford, Maguire, and Shaw all approached him.
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?
He apologises and United still sell him in January without playing him.
He apologises and United play him. He's shite. He gets sold later.
He apologises and United play him. He's good but his teammates aren't. They win nothing. He tries to force a move.
He apologises and United play him. They win FA Cup, Worthington Cup, and/or Europa league.
He doesn't apologise. Gets shipped out with a payoff and plays shite somewhere else. He has money and pride.
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.
I mean Utd defo ain’t winning anything so you can rule out 4.
Sancho, and England for that matter, should be a lesson for all English players abroad.
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.
Not sure which club would get him on those big ass wages though
United gonna pay at least half of his wage for a short 6 months loan and hope a Saudi club would come knocking in the summer
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
