But 23mil for such a player is still a steal, nothing to do with whether Spanish or not. City always get players quite cheaply.

Ferran Torres is in the last year of his contract.
On paper, he is not as exciting as Jadon Sancho.
Maybe, Sancho is hyped up by the media as he is English
but the price is reflected on the " statistics "

Jadon Sancho is over priced but it is Manchester United.
So inevitably, there will be a premium.
Also, City is taking 15% cut of the transfer fee

As usual, for first 15mins. dominate possession but no creativity going forward.
Passing going astray mostly

Quite understandable as not the 1st team playing
Maguire heading is off the mark, quite surprised.

Btw Dalot really no chance under OGS now.

Very uneventful first half. Our "second" team really not up to the mark and lucky to be 0-0 at HT

Poor first half and improved second half. Lingard scored again. Martial was wearing new black boots and scored the winner. Mengi made his debut and had 10 mins. of play.

Finally Sanchez joins Inter on a free transfer and signs a three-year contract to end his £560,000-a-week deal two years early. Wish him all the best as it didn't work out for him at United. Plus we paid him too much. Wrong strategy previously to sign all the stars who didn't perform for United.
