I like Bissouma. I think he works for what we would need in midfield assuming Ndidi is ungettable.

Bissouma works if you keep Pogba and make Pogba the main passer from the 6. Just think the need for a sitter/screen/disruptor and a passer was always more needed and important than signing Sancho.

Holland doing Holland things. Got to take your chances when you're on top of the game. Even in the group games they weren't taking all of their chances.

IDK DeBoer didn't start Weghorst. Him and Depay were working well in the opening 2 games.

@BigMan your cousin balled the phuck out for Holland in this tournament.

Been saying this from the jump. We need a proper DM before Sancho. If not Ndidi, then Bissouma. Especially if we keep Pogba

Low-key Sancho is a vanity signing for the board/Ole to try and save face from past transfer failures. I know United need a RW but it's not like you don't have players you can use there for the meanwhile and also need the game time to develop themselves in Murda James and Amad.

KDB probably playing false 9 and Lukaku on the right

I don't know how you fit Fernandes and Sancho in the same team and not lose a lot defensively.

Sancho does defensive work. He isn't a totally liability like Hazard was at Chelsea.

100%. The funny thing is Sancho doesn’t have the blistering pace on the wing. If anything he prefers coming in a bit more central, which is what Greenwood is doing for us at the moment. Amad and Greenwood can deputize the RW, while Cavani and Mason run CF.

There’s also the Martial conundrum.

United needs a dm with good passing rage but can also do the dirty work

tchouameni would be ideal, if Ole insist on playing with a midfield two(). they need good passing from their midfield besides Pogba.

but I want Pogba at psg

Man, if we could land him and keep Pogba

to me it looks like martial has better feet than sancho - esp. in crowded areas of the pitch.

Sancho doesn't look any better defensively than Hazard to me.

I would hate for Tchoumanei to go to Utd

Pepe There ain't no phuckery like Latin American phuckery on a football pitch.

Even tho Santos is a football terrorist. I wonder if Portugal would be far better off with C dot retiring from international football even tho that has 0.01% chance of happening. Still kinda see him making it till Canusico 26. But he should call it quits after Qatar.
