We're signing my favourite player in world football now that Scholes has retired. Just an unreal feeling.
 
This feels so surreal. I guess I won't totally grasp the magnitude of what's happened here until I see him being presented in our kit. Such a happy day!
 
This really did escalate rather quickly.

The squad overhaul is going well if you ask me.
 
Fans booing at the Bayern team presentation when our Schweiny is discussed. :drool:
 
While it's still awaiting confirmation, it's all but done and we can start to think about chants.

I hear they just chant "Fuβballgott" at him...



Also, for our German speakers, YouTube throws up a few songs in his honour. This one has 254,000+ views - DankeBasti.

 
I really do hope we use him carefully, manage his fitness and game time. Maybe pick between him and Carrick for that #6 role, so both get plenty of rest and hopefully reduce then risk of injuries, then maybe use both for the 'big' games?

If we're planning to use him every week, with the physicality and pace of the league, I think we're asking for trouble.
 
Fantastic news. He's the all action midfielder we have been missing since Keane left. Now on to Schniderlin Woody. Could he be our third signing before Monday?
 
I keep thinking of this moment from two seasons ago after Schweinsteiger was sent off at Old Trafford.



They're now team mates :drool:
 
Unbelievable signing. Cracking addition by all accounts. Welcome to Manchester Basti.
 
More proof that the press know very little but when shit gets done, Woodhard moves in like a ninja with swift, decisive action to get what he (Louis) wants.

I'm guessing he'll be first choice for the Champions League games, with Carrick first choice for the league at least to start the season with.
 
Good job by the club. Big player, can see him having an impact ala pirlo for Juve. It will be incredible seeing him in the red of United.
 
Class signing but i worry about his injuries. We need him on the pitch, not yet another new project for our medical staff.
 
What the shit? I thought this was just tabloid news when I heard about early this morning. Now it's been announced by the club? Blimey.

Down to the important stuff. Squad number. Bin Evans and give him the 6?
 
Good signing. He'll bring character and presence to the team in a way that Carrick can't, and he's definitely a man for the big occasion. Won't be at his lung-busting best or controlling games like he used to, but now we know we not only have a great alternative to Carrick for defensive midfield, but an extra midfielder for when we really want to further control games without sacrificing stability/balance (à la Mata). And of course, two masters of the deep-lying playmaking trade to pass on their knowledge to Blind, hopefully Schneiderlin, and possibly Verratti :smirk:.
 
Can't wait to see him in action. He will bring that slickness to us in midfield. Hope he remains fit, probably rotate with Carrick when needed
 
Think Schweini may work well beside Carrick but if required, I can see Carrick moving into defence alongside Smalling when required for extra control too.

Re; squad number - Fellaini is 31 if Schweini wants brand continuity.

He is definitely going to be a plus for us in the Champions League.
