I am far from convinced they are skint. Apart from anything else they seem to have offered 91m for Sancho.
We may well be playing it safe but it is a really bad thing to do, at least from a football point of view, which clearly is not the priority, given that everybody else around us is not playing it safe.Something that has been denied by some reporters close to the club but who knows.
My guess is Utd are playing it safe this summer because of Covid they aren't bank rolled by owners every penny counts and any cash they do have I think they'll sit on because they don't think fans will be back this season. No fans means TV refunds and less sponsorship interest and I'll happily be proved wrong but once they realised no one wanted to buy any of our current players any deal for Sancho was dead.

It’s not happening my friend. The deal is as dead as a dodo. I retained hope up until a day or so ago but that hope has subsided.Sancho will be rolling into town this evening........
Agreed, it dead. Totally dead.It’s not happening my friend. The deal is as dead as a dodo. I retained hope up until a day or so ago but that hope has subsided.
Was it ever on?
Yep, it does look like you called it all right for the last few weeks. Stayed grounded whereas some of us were like kids in a sweet shop. Smarmy b******Think any chance of this one died when Utd realised they had no chance of raising money through player sales this summer.
Be that 1 big sale like Pogba or lots of smaller sales like Dalot, Smalling, Rojo, Romero etc.
Once the club realised the money that would come in was going to be next to nothing I think they gave up on Sancho as a realistic target.
Money being tight is why I think we've waited to scrounge around on deadline day shopping for bargains we've sold next to no one so there's very little to spend.
I also think they valuation by Dortmund is unrealistic but they've got him under a long contract so really it's up to them to decide the price and Utd can't really moan about that.
If that's true, and they knew weeks ago, why are we scrapping around the dregs on deadline day. I read earlier Cavani not played since March
It has been a bit of a clusterf***
