Good riddance at long last to Jadon Sancho, Manchester Unitedβs worst ever signing. Representative of the previous era, big money arrivals with little to no planning or scouting, a player with zero professionalism & no respect for his own talent.
That phase of the club is over.
Spent my day watching Ederson.
These are my thoughts as a fan, not an analyst, so no deep dive hereβjust surface-level observations. Iβm also focusing only on the positives.
He looks more like an 8 than a 6.
I think you get the best out of him when heβs allowed to roam.
Heβs not an expansive passer, but he wonβt give the ball away recklessly like ugarte
I wouldnβt rely on him as an outlet under heavy pressure.
He has goals in him, not from set pieces, but from arriving late in the box. Very McTominay-esque, he can score more than Casemiro did in 4 years
Loves a give-and-go. Passes and moves rather than standing still (most of the time)
Off the ball:
Willing dueller.
Significantly improves the teamβs pressing.
Has an incredible engine and looks capable of playing every minute of a season.
Physical specimen.
Gives me Declan Rice vibes in the sense that youβd have to take a leg off him to keep him unavailable.
Not a yellow-card magnet. Plays with a calm head.
Thatβs all.

Voted for by the players.
Ederson moving from Β£41,000 to Β£75,000 per week at Man United is such a great deal by Ineos and also shows his desire to join Man United..
I'm really impressed with what Ineos have done with our wage structure.. In the past, we'd have handed him Β£200k weekly..
136 - Bruno Fernandes created 136 chances in the @premierleague this season; the most by a player in any of Europe's big five leagues since Kevin De Bruyne in 2019-20 (also 136). Visionary.
