The whole world watched Manchester United’s most grievous error laid to bare

Manchester United have basically condemned themselves of any chance at qualifying for the Champions League next season, and there are so many issues with the squad that is a daunting task to begun a proper retooling of the team this summer. Yet when it comes to Manchester United's biggest mistake of the season, determining that most crucial error has become just a little bit easier in light of what the whole world witnessed on Wednesday night. Manchester United loanee Jadon Sancho put on a clinic on one of world football's biggest stages, torching PSG's suspect defense to the tune of 13 dribbles completed, setting a new high mark for the 2023/24 Champions League campaign. It was an all-time great performance by the Borussia Dortmund star in the Champions League semifinals, a testa...

Barcelona can look to Manchester United for their LW solution

Barcelona have one of the best right wingers in world football in teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, who looks like the new face of the club. However, the rest of their attacking situation is far from settled. Robert Lewandowski is one of the better strikers in LaLiga, but his periodic slumps and bizarre technical errors have made it apparent that his best days are behind him. Meanwhile, the left wing position is a real black hole for Barcelona. Joao Felix is a left-footed playmaker masquerading as a left winger, while Ferran Torres is simply too inconsistent to trust as a starter. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been tabbed as the dream transfer solution for Barcelona on the left wing, but because of his importance to Napoli, he could cost well over 100 million euros. That's money Barcelo...

Transfer Rumors: Manchester United ready to sell 3 star forwards this summer

Manchester United may undergo the most changes of any club in European football this summer, and that may still be the case even if INEOS somehow decides to give Erik ten Hag another season as manager. A lot of changes are expect at the heart of defense, and even the midfield still needs reworking after the unsuccessful summer 2023 signings of Mason Mount (Chelsea) and Sofyan Amrabat (Fiorentina). However, Man United's attack remains dire, even with Rasmus Hojlund starting to come into his own as a first-year United striker. Marcus Rashford has stagnated badly in his second season under ten Hag, Jadon Sancho is flourishing with Dortmund and probably doesn't want to return, and then Antony has looked like an even bigger flop than he did in his first season from Ajax. According to T...

Transfer Rumors: Manchester United could get starting attacker from Dortmund instead of Jadon Sancho

Right winger Jadon Sancho's future is clearly in limbo, because Manchester United were forced to loan him back to Borussia Dortmund in the January 2024 transfer window after Erik ten Hag alienated the star man to a point of no return. There are rumblings Man United could stick with ten Hag as manager despite likely missing out on Champions League football and a barrage of criticism towards the Dutch manager from within the fanbase. Sancho could very well push Man United to sell him to Dortmund permanently, though BVB would have to pony up 40 million pounds in order to convince the fallen Premier League powers to sell him permanently. If Dortmund want to reduce the fee, they could send a star forward the other way. The Mirror's David McDonnell reports Manchester United remain inter...

3 Man Utd Players Who Have Had Their Careers Derailed By Erik ten Hag

Manchester United have fallen from grace over the years, and while that decline began before Erik ten Hag was the manager of the club, it feels as though they have hit a new low under the Dutch manager's Draconian rule. Several individual standouts at Old Trafford have suffered mightily under the former Ajax coach. Here are the three players who have been hurt the most by ten Hag in the last two seasons. RW Jadon Sancho How good Jadon Sancho was before Before joining Manchester United in the summer 2022 transfer window, Jadon Sancho was arguably the best player in the Bundesliga alongside Bayern Munich's record-breaking striker Robert Lewandowski - and then his own record-breaking teammate at striker, Erling Haaland. The former Manchester City prospect helped bring the DFB Pokal...

Real Madrid? Juventus? The 5 best transfer destinations for Man United’s Jadon Sancho

Jadon Sancho's future at Manchester United seems to be over. His feud with manager Erik ten Hag has become a distraction, and it has gotten to the point where it is a bit ridiculous. Since joining United from Borussia Dortmund in a transfer worth 85 million euros, Sancho has been a disappointment. The flashes of brilliance have been few and far between, with inconsistency being the hallmark of his tenure in Manchester thus far. Despite all he accomplished in the Bundesliga as a legitimately world-class player for BVB, he has built no goodwill to fall back on in Manchester, so his feud with ten Hag is one-sided despite the pressure on the latter. Sancho has a lot to prove. He benefited from open spaces and Dortmund's playing style under Lucien Favre. There is a ton of quality in th...
