@duggie2000 here we go! A world-class talent signed by United. Ten Hag will make this kid world classier.
... first read that as "most of our players live in Poundland" ... thought ... well that's not gonna help your case ...
Frightened to spend isn't a phrase I'd use with John Henry, reluctant to spend would be more accurate. Spending cuts into profit.
You can buy him back from Blackpool or Stockport or wherever he ends up in a few years time having had zero first team minutes in his Manchester United career.
Make a list of Spuds kids that have been regular first team players and I will try to counter it with United kids
I honestly wouldn't care if we hadn't. Unless he turns out to be a worldie in 3/4 yrs of course. Hearing he's a real talent, do you know much about him?
Man City stole Jadon Sancho from us and never gave him any game time, he then ended up in Germany and Man U paid £84m for him
He appears to be a potential top player in the England games he has played and he almost made his first team debut for us at 15 yrs old Jadon Sancho was "poached" from us by Man City as a 14 yr old and never got a game, ended up in Germany and you bought him for over £80m and now want to sell him at half price These young players would be better staying with clubs our size until they prove they can get proper game time with the bigger clubs
I am always very wary of player from Dortmund, they seem to produce some fantastic players but the talent rarely seems to travel with them when they move (Haaland being a bit of an outlier, at least in his first season).
