    Be his 3rd PL of playing for an underperforming side if Sarr went there .

    You watch United sour the deal by offering Phil Jones plus £25 million.

    Great for us and Sarr if true, but it shows what an incorrect shambles Utd really are.

    Sarr to United would be truly hilarious.

    They have just signed a coach who is playing 4-2-2-2. The same formation that Javi struggled to fit Sarr into when he was foisted upon him and which ultimately saw to his sacking.

    Imagine being so incompetent you are replicating the **** ups of Watford's shambolic recruitment team.

    Thinking about how lost the likes of Sancho and Rashford look playing for Man U doesn’t augur well for Sarr’s prospects there.

    Akin to Federer losing a Hobblesdon III team match away at Codicote IIs I'd say!

    I can't bring myself to click on the link, but just seen the Daily Fail comparing Sarr to Beckham (presumably because of that goal) and saying Man U are looking at spending £50 million on him. Any credibility the DM had when reporting on WatfordFc should have disappeared with this story.

    Think it's basically Mokbel and one other who have links to us at the Daily Heil, isn't it? Otherwise it's guff as usual.

    Sarr is essentially prime David Beckham but with lightning pace.

    At least that’s what we will tell Man U.

    Sarr couldn't score that goal again if you gave him 1000 goes at it. I reckon it was his first shot on target from outside the box in 3 years

    He's got a 100% record for shots attempted from own half. Pretty good I'd say.

    Most Goalkeepers could probably say the same. Depends what you class as a shot tbh.

    Seen Sky Sports claiming Man Utd want PSV winger, Gakpo. He'll cost about £30m so if there's any truth in that, no chance he goes there.

    How reliable is the journalist who says Leeds want him?

    Could mean very little but Sarr trained with the club as usual today.

    The report says Leeds need to sell first so by means done.

    The outlet (Foot Mercato) not so much - but apparently the journalist who reported it is reputable.

    Erm, most goalkeepers have never scored.

    A shot is when you're trying to kick the ball into the goal, isn't it?

    I think it was Xabi Alonso who used to try one from extreme distance most games. They only do replays of the successful ones!

    Whilst it will be undisclosed - it won't be 15m

    It is a ridiculous number and a bad guess

    I suspect a guaranteed 25m with add ons

    My point is most Goalkeepers could hit the target with a goal kick, I reckon. Not taking anything away from Sarr's vision, but the technique really isn't that difficult.

    Sarr is best when he’s not thinking, it was an instinctive finish and he would absolutely score it again maybe 5-10% of the time.

    It’s when he has to think (penalties) he comes unstuck and a good coach could help him there.

    Not sure it's comparable but I do get your point now.

    However, if was easy we'd see it happen far more often.

    Sarr? He's that guy who can run fast that spends most of his time sulking.

    I was being facetious. More referring to hitting the target from their own half. In theory if the ball goes straight to the opposition goalkeeper it could be classed as a shot on target.
