Sancho is the fly in the United ointment. If they sign Bale they are effectively writing off Sancho for two or three years because either one isn't going to be that cheap but both at the same time would be a king size commitment. I feel it's possible United will take the view that even if they had to wait a year for Sancho, given his age and all that, it would be a better investment, which fits with what they are currently doing.
Total guess of course But that's what i'm pinning my hopes on.
Of course, the Chairman of Lilliput might pull a rabbit out of the hat. But right know I feel my guess is more likely
Also have Greenwood who plays the same position and looks...really bloody good? Potentially a world class player in the making, right there. Would they want to drop and hamper his development just to get Bale in for a couple seasons before going for Sancho? Wherever Bale goes, he's going to want to play pretty much every game.
