Many M.U fans are secretly thanking Southgate for keeping Sancho in the starting lineup until the quarter-final against Ukraine. A familiar position, brand-name ball handling and valuable contributions, Sancho is one of the "Three Lions" best against Ukraine.
A few months ago, Sancho's price was never listed by Dortmund at below 100 million Euros. However, it is possible that with just a few matches of "fighting" on the bench of the national team, Sancho's price has had to decrease somewhat. Just heard that M.U successfully bought this midfielder from BVB for 85 million Euros, Sancho was used and shined. It is only then that we see that, whether unintentionally or intentionally, Southgate helped M.U not be put at a disadvantage in this deal.
Returning to the story of Sancho and the upcoming development at Old Trafford, everything needs time to answer to see how much the former Bundesliga star has contributed. Buying Sancho, for M.U, is not a drug to specifically treat a long-term illness. However, it is proving that what this team is doing is in line with the desire to develop.
Ole Solskjaer's way of doing things is different from Jose Mourinho's. Mourinho bought many players to quickly succeed before turning around to another generation. Solsa went by the club's own strength and added each star in each stage. The more successful it is, the more it will be. Last season, they had an excellent Cavani. Next season, there will be more Sancho, perhaps the destination is not only the runner-up position in both the Premier League and Europa League.
Kante at Chelsea, Liverpool with Van Dijk or Man City with De Bruyne, each team needs a locomotive and Sancho could be a big boost for Manchester United next season. After 8 years of searching in the dark about a formula for success since the last time winning the Premier League, M.U is getting closer and closer. With each season, Solsa and his students have matured a little. That maturity comes from each person's own self and from the way they see their weaknesses to supplement and perfect.
M.U was weak on the right wing, it took them a whole season to realize that and look for players on the same wing as Wan-Bissaka. With Sancho, to let him roam freely, the Old Trafford team needs more steel shields behind so that this midfielder can roam freely. That is also the reason why, with Fred and McTominay, M.U still wanted to buy Rice. With Rice, the "Red Devils" squad will be perfect in theory.
There are many people coming, many going at Old Trafford. There are many illusion about success in the past with big contracts, but then everyone has to accept the truth, success only comes from a solid foundation, built up over the years. The way Sancho is playing at EURO and will play at M.U is gradually proving that is true.
