I'm really not buying the 'Sancho had an ear infection' line from last night.
He genuinely seems to be 5th choice winger behind Garnacho, Amad, Rashford and Antony, whilst also being 5th choice no.10 behind Bruno, Mount, Amad and McTominay as well as being 5th choice no.9/ false 9 behind Hojlund, Zirkzee, Bruno and Mount.
For someone to be that far down so many pecking orders whilst still being a sellable asset, I suggest we move him on ASAP. Not on loan as that's no good to anybody, but on a permanent. Even as part of a swap deal for someone we really want/ need, would be a good shout.
I'd be negotiating as close to a straight swap for Ugarte with PSG as possible.
If not, how about money plus Sancho for Branthwaite? Straight swap for Toney? Get Chelsea to give us cash plus Chilwell for him? (I genuinely see us going for Chilwell btw, possibly on a loan deal on deadline day if the above doesn't happen) .
He's an £30-£40m asset who isn't going to get near the first team. Sell, sell, sell!

Everton and Brentford are not going to pay sanchos wages lol.
PSG and Chelsea are options, chelsea especially, they need to make signings, they have hardly any players on their books at the moment.

I doubt most of those swap deals would be possible due to Sancho’s £250k a week wages.

I can’t believe a deal with PSG for Sancho and Ugarte moving opposite ways won’t be completed. Not necessarily as 1 transfer but it seems to be such an obvious transfer for players and clubs.

Ports,
I believe the word is 'compromise'.
It would work well for all parties.

Obvious from our side Ports, maybe PSG are not stupid though ?.

We may get that money but I really don’t see how a United fan can think he’s worth it. He’s done absolutely nothing, and his overall contribution has been net negative.

If you were a hunting club you wouldn't roll over to demands from us for Sancho.
Emma Can and Pep have had digs over his mentality.
He seemed to have an issue reportedly physically and mentally that meant Ten Hag sent him mid season to Holland to sort himself out.
He fell out publicly with manager.
He cost us way to much in fee and ridiculous wages.
The United manager is not likely to start him over some very poor options at United.
No one is pulling anyone's pants down over our desire to be rid of him or his crazy wages.
There is no negotiating tactic here, no one would believe any of it, we hold no aces here,
The starting point for any club negotiating will be we are doing you a massive favour taking your unwanted problem child. You can carry on paying the lad another 60 million to train with reserves and be massively hampered In Your rebuild or you can start compromising massively. We have no leverage at all in this deal.

But he'd be a great player for PSG, would he, ahem, Oakbark. I could really see him helping them, erm, win the UCL finally. ?.

Downsie do you really think Chelsea would give Utd cash on top of Chilwell for Sancho? ??.
