How much of the blame do you apportion to Sancho himself for how things have turned out? Shouldn’t the club acknowledge their part for his lack of form?
Time to part company. He's had plenty of opportunities to show us what he can do and he hasn't performed to the level expected for the price United paid for him. Should sell him in January and get a replacement in ASAP.
