Mad mad mad money. Anyone who says we've not backed Ten Hag is full of shite to be honest.
Antony | Here we go! €100mill, contract until June 2027, option 'til 2028.

That’s a lot of dollar.
Ten Hag must see an elite player there. Exciting if he can bring it out of Antony
mufcmpb not bullshitting this time.
Which is why RB desperately needs upgrading, because whoever plays on that side is automatically handicapped because they're having to work with AWB and Dalot, who are miles off what we need.
Bloody hell
I honestly think he could struggling in England much like Sancho has, or even worse Pepe
Very excited about us signing him potentially though, because if he's a/ success he'll be sensational. It'll be fun.
We simply have to gamble, our current wingers are so poor aside from Sancho. We're desperate and if he turns out like Salah/Mane we'll be thankful we did.
We badly need some good samba at Old Trafford.
Totally agree. At this point, we've got nothing left to lose. We go for it.
Reports increasing about Sergio dest. Not seen him play much. Not sure how good he is.
I’m certain we will have a right back in before the window closes. No way ETH will be happy with what he’s seen of Dalot.
Genuinely feel like we just something fresh out on the wings. Rashford has played within himself for 2 years. Sancho has no explosiveness and Elanga is just very average. Anybody we sign could potentially be a flop. We need to take the risk.
Yep pretty much this.
We’ve looked so bad in the first couple of games that it would just be criminal and suicidal to think it would suddenly improve. Rashford can’t complain he’s not been given chances to shine. He’s shown zero improvement. I honestly wasn’t overly impressed with Rashford in pre season either. A lot of the usual mistakes but he was able to get away with a couple of tap ins.
We’ve had so many gambles in the past, if there was ever a gamble needed it’s now.
Joel and Avram saw relegation staring them in the face and opened the chequebooks immediately. Absolutely crazy.
Yikes, nowhere near worth that much
Says you who has not yet realized that he may get what he wanted only after 2 thrashings in the league and after major backlash in the media and from the fans with Liverpool being the next team to trash United. Sulk somewhere else.
ETH is REALLY determined to get him isn’t he? 
To be fair, I can see Antony fitting in at a Klopp Liverpool team and being a hit.

Throw VDB Chong Lindelof/Bailly, AWB and Amad on loan there and everyone wins
Maybe not but where the feck do you get value on young players these days?
18 year old DMs are going to Madrid for 100m. It’s madness
I'd be happy with Antony joining, but the fee is batshit crazy!
Well, have to somewhat applaud Arnold & Co after FDJ miss, they put their money up and backs the manager .
See this is where our recruitment department fails us. We knew ETH was coming to us, we could have made plans to sign his targets way in advance rather than waiting until ETH came to Manchester. We definitely would have gotten Antony for lot cheaper if we went in before the last season ended. Ajax don't want to sell now because half their squad was ripped apart and that's why you see these crazy valuations.ETH is REALLY determined to get him isn’t he?
That’s a lot of money.
Please don’t be our Pepe
Please don’t be our Pepe
I like Dest. Called it at start of window. Not a great defender but agile as hell on the ball.
I'm not entirely sold on this potential transfer, but that's more about me not knowing enough at the player.
Chances are that we'll be playing 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, or some sort of variation on that. Where exactly does Antony fit in with this and where will he be most effective? I'm slightly dubious of a front three of Antony - Ronaldo - Sancho having enough goals in it. (maybe enough isn't the right word, but an impressive total, I mean)

I fancy Antony as a good option for the right wing with a very high potential ceiling... but I'm not sure I fancy him to the tune of €100m.
Bit of a meme this. We were in pretty early for Martinez and he cost us a fortune
Crazy money, but what choice do we have at this stage of the window.
WE GO FOR IT!
Hes meant to be really really shit. Makes Dalot looks like Maldini according to some posters here.
My friend watches a lot of US players and laughed endlessly when we were linked to him.
Barca themselves if Im not mistaken play a CB ahead of him at RB because hes shit.
100m is surely not correct? I would imagine 80m including bonuses.
Anyways, couldn't give a feck. CHOO CHOO

Can he play multiple positions or strictly Rw?
Tbh I’m well past the point of even caring how much we pay for a player. Any excess funds would only end up in glazers pockets.
Then you should think about why those transfer news not happened before match start, the board thought their whole team of players were still good enough before got smash and believe ETH can turn around those players to a decent (After losing Pogba, Cavani etc.)
Proper excited about this transfer. Fed up of watching shit wingers like Rashford and Elanga
A lot of players have. However, this is a business, and we’ve been known to overpay players. So when push comes to shove, a lot of players are willing to risk it. Guys like AWB are set for life is they play their cards right, and he’ll probably never get a big club again.
