Renatinho sanches loan to buy rumours gathering pace. Makes sense as Jose loves him and may think he can get the best out of him in the Manchester sunshine.
{Ed004's Note - It would make sense. Adds a bit more cover and means more money to spend elsewhere. Carrick, Sanches and Periera would be good squad options}

I agree Ed think it has the potential to work well. Still more worried by our full back positions going in to the season unless Darmian is staying.
{Ed004's Note - So do I but hopefully we get Aurier and that sorts out the right side. Worried about left back but if Shaw could step up we would be fine as we have sufficient cover}

Don't think Sanches is a good player at all. We shouldn't waste time on him. If it's about adding cover, we can try taking some other player on loan.
22 Jul 2017 12:46:19
If Sanches was English he would be getting slated on here as just another over hyped youngster .

Depends on the cost imo. A high percentage of these ' wonder teens' don't reach the level required by time they are 22.
That said he is a top talent but we have a couple of those already that have yet to play consistently at the level required in shaw and martial so its high risk.

I think his nationality is totally irrelevant, except in the sense he is Portuguese and Jose will have kept a keen eye on him for that sole reason. Last summer he was one of the most sought after young players in football. He's not settled in Germany at all, which didn't make him suddenly a terrible footballer. If Jose thinks he's good enough, let's get him in.

Eric
He play 20 odd games for benfica and got a big move and then been very poor.
Played well for half a season.

Same as shaw and martial at united grucic at Liverpool kieta if he signs. If the pedigree is there from young and a young player has a decent season big clubs will pay for that potential but sometimes those players never hit the heigths expected of them for a variety of reasons. Some of ciurse go on to babe stellar careers some fade away And others just become decent pros nothing special. For every scholes or giggs there odds a thousand or more januzai's.

Sanches has played 24 league games for benfica he wasn't great in all of them either .
He has been shocking for Munich.
If it was a young English lad no one would want him not based on last season, he was shocking .
22 Jul 2017 16:54:40
Don't agree and more importantly, looks like Jose doesn't either.
22 Jul 2017 17:47:36
Did you see all 24 games from your armchair to define he was not great in all of them?
22 Jul 2017 17:48:07
As i said like martial.
