Over the Bar

I really hope United sign Fred as I'll save a fortune getting his name on my the kids shirts. Ibrahimovic nearly bankrupt me!  ;D

Anyone know much about him?
See he has bandied about a few of the big clubs, one to watch for the world cup?

Don't think I've ever seen him play, hopefully get some game time for Brazil. He's small which is unusual for a Mourinho signing.

Spell the end for Herrera? or will it be one in one out with Fellaini?

Can't see Herrera moving on with Fellaini leaving and Carrick retiring. I still think he'll look to bring in another midfielder.

Umtiti the latest player to use United to get a huge contract from his current club.

That has been going on for a good few years now MS, not much the club can do about that.

Pretty straight forward Oakleaf, his people knowing he is coming to the end of his contract or seeking a new improved deal start to tout him around knowing the club are still keen to keep him. Knowing United are in the market makes it a more realistic proposition. The deal was never going to happen but the player ends up on better/ long terms than he was previously.

That do MS?  ;)

Ya plus United are known to (a) have shed loads of cash, (b) be kind of desperate to get back to the top and (c) have a clueless fool in charge of transfers.

All paper talk lads. Unless his agent said something I missed?

I do get your overall point though, remember something similar with Ramos a few years ago and Bale's comments after the Champions League final could just be angling at a new contract too.

Ronaldo has done it a few times too.

A Portuguese full back signed as well as Fred. At least they're getting the business done early and they're definitely two positions of need. I know very little about the two players.....hopefully they add to things.

"The best young fullback in Europe" says Mourinho. Thought the last fullback we signed from Portugal was that already.
