Rumoured alternatives for sancho are perisic, bale and douglas costa.

Do any of these player appeal to you or is it more of a none of the above option if you had to choose?

None of the above, have Greenwood as a starter and shift Rashford to the right (he was a right winger to begin with) when needed, with James playing left in that case. Then maybe see if we bring in that young Stefanovic as competition to Greenwood for next season. And in this situation, bringing in a back-up forward would be a must, even if it is just Josh King.

None of them, Let Greenwood be the starter there with James and Rashford as subs on that position when needed.

I genuinely believe we’d be better off with Bale.
Getting him on loan should also allow us to then sign Reguilon and a CB permanently.

I don’t want us to sign Bale, but if we did it’s possible that he would come to us with a major point to prove which could work in our favour. But that’s me being very optimistic. Can’t see it happening and I think that’s for the better.

Getting Bale on loan, so that he can rotate with Greenwood is a great idea.

It would free up funds to get Reguilon and a top CB like Upamecano or Giminez.

Go for Sancho next year (Only if the club cannot afford under the current financial climate)

None of the above, Persic is a left winger, Costa picks up too many injuries, and Bale just hasn't shown any desire to be a footballer in several years.

None are really suitable, and I don't think the club should look at short term options. Signing a player until Sancho is available next season is a terrible way forward. You either go for a different target, be that someone at a similar level or someone with potential and is a little rougher around the edges. Or you promote from within or adjust how the team plays.

I think whatever happens with Sancho we will need another body with class in that position. None of Lingard, Mata or Andreas Pereira are good enough. We can't play the whole season with only Rashford, Martial, Greenwood and James as forward options (Ighalo is only here until January) .

We could look to play a midfield diamond shape with a split front two, then those 4 would be sufficient.

However, if Sancho isn't a possibility I think we should look at other options, be that Brooks, Neres, Mbeumo, Stengs or Tsygankov or anyone else. They should be young progressive players who could become a top play.

Perisic for me.

We do need another wide player. The drop off to James and Mata is too big.

Bale in a heartbeat.
