Motta was twice the player Herrera is and showed worrying signs of decline from the age of 32.Agreed a 4-5 year contract at PSG apparently. He has done well here if true, sorted the rest of his career out money wise. I think he will also be a good squad player for them for the next 3-4 years with ease, Motta played til 35 there? Wanted him to stay, but i guess we will have quite some massive changes this summer.
Based on our transfer history, we will get someone for £50m who is even more limited.Good news if true.
Those who keep overrating him and saying he's great even though he's shown a great deal of inconsistency over his 5 year stay at United can finally enjoy watching someone coming in that isn't as limited as Herrera.

This is a shame. He's nowhere near the first I'd have out of the door from this squad, in fact he's one of our better players. Woodward is a fecking chump.

I just think that we let a good squad player go for free and will spend a lot of money on another player that could have been avoided. I fear that instead of fixing obvious holes like RB and RW, we will use a big chunk of this money on Herrera's replacement.Let's not buy anyone and keep the squad as it is and hope for the best?

Fred
If it's true that he was looking £200,000 a week, then he had to be let go. A squad player should never be earning that much.
hate to say it but i think hes fit and he's not playing because he's leaving
a real shame as hes a fantastic squad player in any top side - not surprising that PSG are in for him
If we do end up spending big it's because we need to, simple as that. Our midfield has been non existent during our bad run. The wages could be used on someone younger, hungrier. Tired of handing out big contracts just because we are afraid to change.I just think that we let a good squad player go for free and will spend a lot of money on another player that could have been avoided.

Replacing him will cost more. Penny wise, pound foolish.If it's true that he was looking £200,000 a week, then he had to be let go. A squad player should never be earning that much.

that makes sense if he was a Nicky Butt or a Tom Cleverley but hes pretty important to usIf it's true that he was looking £200,000 a week, then he had to be let go. A squad player should never be earning that much.
Bloody ell, Woodward isn’t making every decision at United, those who believe he is are the real chumps.
Glazers??? Gods?? Devils?? Phil Jones??Bloody ell, Woodward isn’t making every decision at United, those who believe he is are the real chumps.
Of one of the 8 or 9 players I don't want to see in a United shirt again he's not one of them. I understand the clubs stance of not wanting to give him a four year 200k deal though. I'll never understand not renewing him a year or two back though.
He's been here nearly 5 years, was a peerless professional in that time, won POTY and put in some cracking performances, but was never offered a contract extension, despite several other players undeserving of one got one anyway.Of one of the 8 or 9 players I don't want to see in a United shirt again he's not one of them.

Exactly. I was genuinely depressed seeing on my social media photos of Jones and Young smiling with a pen in their hand whilst Herrera's contract was running down.He's been here nearly 5 years, was a peerless professional in that time, won POTY and put in some cracking performances, but was never offered a contract extension, despite several other players undeserving of one got one anyway.
I was shell shocked when Jones got a 4 yr contract, think I literally did a double face palm. I still feel the pain. What a dumb dumb decision.I was genuinely depressed seeing on my social media photos of Jones and Young smiling with a pen in their hand
Nightmare decisions across the board. I think Dave will be extended but if he doesn't then that's just so pathetic to even try to make sense of. Too many extensions of players who "can do a (shit) job".I was shell shocked when Jones got a 4 yr contract, think I literally did a double face palm. I still feel the pain. What a dumb dumb decision.
And all I wanted is Herrera and De Gea to extend.
