Fans react as Manchester United make contact for Ismaila Sarr
According to The Independent, Manchester United are eyeing Ismaila Sarr as an alternative for Jadon Sancho.
Borussia Dortmund continue to stand firm on their valuation of the player. With just over two weeks left before the window closes, the chances of United signing Sancho look bleak. (h/t The Independent)
22-year-old Sarr was one of the bright lights in what was a miserable season for Watford. He will cost signifcantly less than Sancho and could be available for £30m. (h/t The Independent)
According to the report, intermediaries have made initial enquiries. Sarr has also drawn attention from arch-rivals Liverpool. We take a look at how fans reacted to the news below.

Better value for money than Sancho, but Liverpool will get him in end because Woodward wants his overpriced star signing

At this point, you gotta get Sarr, Telles and Upamecano for us to be happy if you don’t want to spend that £108m on Jadon. Including VdB, that would be a 7.5/10 window then.

Not going to lie, this would be a good signing for Man United. I think Sarr is grossly underrated. He would cause teams a hell of a lot of problems on the the flank for United.
