He said: "United’s hesitation in meeting Sancho’s valuation so far in this transfer window feels like it is an attempt to reverse the culture of overpaying.
"As fine a player as Sancho is, is he worth £108 million?
"And what impact would such a deal have on the game time of Mason Greenwood, who looks like the best young attacking talent in the country by some distance, scoring 17 goals last season?
"If United think Sancho is worth it, the deal should have been done already.

"What I cannot understand is if United do not think so, why haven’t they moved on?
"If the deal is not right, regardless of how much it upsets fans, walking away and buying an alternative target can be a sign of strength, not weakness."
