Since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure, the transfer window has never been exciting for Manchester United fans.

The club has either overpaid for their targets who often has failed to achieve success or the club has rejected signing players with high potential.

These things have affected the fans so much that now and then, they come on the streets to protest.

During the 2018/19 season, the #GlazersOut banner was held at Old Trafford to show their disgruntlement.

Though it is painful to watch all their rivals sign players to strengthen their squad, Manchester United fans are being impatient over the transfer dealings in the current season.

After finishing third in the Premier League last season, every hardcore Red Devil expected the club to sign Jadon Sancho with ease. That is not the case currently and the club is stuck in negotiations about the fee for the player.

Though the player and agent fees are sorted, Borussia Dortmund are fighting for their evaluation of Sancho. With the Premier League already underway, there is still no breakthrough in the deal.

It is difficult to see the right-winger issue going unresolved, but it must be said the €120 million evaluation of Jadon Sancho is unrealistic.

For a winger who is yet to prove his potential in the Champions League, with only one great season in the German Bundesliga under his belt, the weekly wage of €338,000 would cause animosity within the squad.

United has one of the highest wage bills in England, with David de Gea who is one of the highest-paid payers in the world earning £375,000 per week.

The reported Sancho salary will be more than that of what Paul Pogba is currently earning at the club (£290,000/week).
