This afternoon, Manchester United said goodbye to three players, including what many consider the biggest transfer flop in the club’s history. And no, for those of you who love to criticize him, Harry Maguire is not the one leaving. The player in question is Jadon Sancho.Over the past decade, Manchester United has become synonymous with poor recruitment and questionable transfer business.
