Ole Gunnar Solskjaer gave the clearest indication yet of where the future lay for Manchester United forward pair Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard.
Sancho finally became a red devil on Friday after Man Utd concluded his yearlong search. The England forward came in for a fee of around £ 73 million and, at that price, he is expected to jump straight into the starting eleven.
The arrival of Sancho is a great boost for both Solskjaer and the club, and one expert believes he will help the games of two other stars. Liverpool are expected to bounce back from their lousy title defense. While Chelsea hope to bring their European form to the domestic arena.
Man City, of course, remains the biggest threat to everyone. And if they get one or both of Harry Kane and Jack Grealish, their rivals’ task will become drastically more difficult.
All that makes the arrival of Sancho even more important, although it was speculated that it could mean the end for Anthony Martial O Jesse Lingard.
Lingard has been linked to a permanent move to West Ham after excelling on loan. Martial, meanwhile, has surprisingly been linked to Tottenham amid concerns about his playing time at Old Trafford.
However, if Solskjaer has his way, no player will be able to leave this summer.
Marcus Rashford’s possible shoulder surgery could put him out for more than two months. Perhaps with that in mind, Solskjaer hinted to Sky Sports that they will both stick around after their friendly loss to QPR.
“Show the fans we’re serious,” Solskjaer said (via the Manchester Evening News) when asked about the Sancho signing.
“We hope to have one of the best strikers in England for the next 10, 12 years.

“We have Marcus – 23, we have Mason who is a young boy. So we have an English core there and then we have the additional experience with Edinson, Anthony, Bruno, Jesse is coming back.
“So I think the attack line looks very good.”
Man Utd’s Target Transfer Preference Revealed
Meanwhile, Manchester United transfer target Eduardo Camavinga would rather move to Spain rather than the Premier League this summer, according to a report.
The Rennes teenager is on his way to becoming one of the most exciting midfielders in the world at his current pace. After making his senior debut at the age of 16, the 18-year-old now plays a senior role. As a result of his recent promotion, United and their rivals Chelsea have shown interest on a possible deal.
The teenager could be a solid replacement for Paul Pogba in the long run. But according to the Manchester Evening News, United took a hit early on.
The Red Devils transfer team, led by soccer director John Murtough, has held talks with Camavinga representatives.
But the newspaper says the talks “were not encouraging.” This is because your client would prefer to move to Spain rather than England if they were to leave France.
