The most recent development, after weeks of consistent negotiations, put the Red Devils back at one.
An initial £ 70 million offer for the superstar was rejected with the prospect of paying an additional £ 40 million in bonuses.
But Dortmund need more of an advantage and, judging from tonight’s performance, they expect a call tomorrow.
In fact, the Red Devils are desperately struggling to break 100-1 to win the Europa League before kickoff.
Yes, they had their chances adding a governed offside purpose and shook the wood 3 times before even though it all broke the deadlock in overtime.
But that’s far from enough if they need to compete at the top of the Champions League next season.
Despite Anthony Martial’s season at 23 in all competitions, he lacks the consistency to produce the goods week after week.
Wonderkid Mason Greenwood, who has no doubts he’s bigger than Sancho, will be one of the first names on the list next season.
And Marcus Rashford is too smart for the bench, which begs the question of who would fail if Sancho signed on the dotted line.
While that’s a conundrum for Solskjaer to worry about at a later date, as the fact remains that his 3 attacking friends are trapped on the ground.
This is not unexpected when you consider United’s 60th game of the season.
They all play at lightning speed and pack power and require constant rotation to get the most out of them.
When you get injured, they don’t have the quality required on the bench to replace the game.
It was evident tonight when Solskjaer took 90 minutes to make an offensive substitution in an attempt to open the scoring, bringing in veteran Juan Mata.
You cannot be waiting for the 3 most sensible ones to see the club to glory and the arrival of Sancho will also give them all the courage to lift their games.
This is precisely what happened to Martial with the appearance of Greenwood this season.
Sancho is worth each and every cent that Dortmund asks for after another sensational season.
He scored 17 and helped out in the league thanks to 26 purposeful contributions last season.
A remarkable record for a boy who is even 21 years old.
United tried to play hard on Harry Maguire and ended up releasing and paying a world record for the center-back.
It will inevitably end the same way when Ed Woodward finishes his finger from his back.
The quality of the Sancho breed will likely make a difference in European elite competition, especially with its string defense.
Maguire, the world’s greatest defender, lacks the speed to take on Europe’s top non-violent attack forces.
There is no doubt that the 4 full-backs who have played tonight will lose goals in the Premier League and Champions League.
Eric Bailly has that perspective, but lacks the physical form after having a career hampered by injuries.
Victor Lindelof just doesn’t have the quality to perform at everyone’s level.
Pep Guardiola was quick to take up the challenge in his Manchester City defense by spending £ 41 million on Bournemouth’s Nathan Ake.
Despite all the complaints in the Loud Neighbor defense this season, they have still conceded one less purpose than United in the league.
Most likely, the arrival of Sancho will ruin his movement budget, so Solskjaer will have to prepare his appearance to beat his opposing parties or face a difficult season.
An investment of £ 110 million in a player who can be a normal player for at least ten years can be a bargain.
