Is he talking about Frenkie de Jong? He was 75 million euros. That has another 10m in bonuses. That, and he hasn't exactly been setting the world alight this season.
Oh he's talking about those bollocks Bruno to Barca rumours

Oh he's talking about those bollocks Bruno to Barca rumours
If we don't get this deal over the deal by Friday the Glazers and Ed Woodward might as well never turn up at Old Trafford again as far as I'm concerned.
This is what I said weeks ago.
The only thing surprising about this narrative development is that they've invented a link to Barca rather than Real. Either way, it's still bullshit.
Spartak just need to bide their time.
I'm fairly sure they meant "doomed in the pursuit of this particular player", as opposed to doomed in general.
Which, to be fair, we might be anyway.
Can someone get him to sign United shirt? or ball with United logo?
This thread is only 221 pages, which feels like on embryo stage for the muppet transfer.

I assume you're a match going fan? Funny thing to say if not.
We know Ed can only work on one deal at any given time. Given his 100% effort on one deal and he can't even get that over the line in a month, we are doomed.
You don't know that Bruno is worth the money being touted. Nobody mocked at Fred when we first signed him, but after a poor first 6 months, he was talked about as the worst PL signing ever.
We've signed him....again.
50m Euros is £42m for Portuguese player of the year for 2 seasons. I am sure if you go back £50m for Fred was alot of money. Considering in the same window Fabinho was signed for less.
He has been excellent the last 2 years and is an established Portugal international. For the kind of money Sporting want you would be hard pressed to get anyone better, Especially when you don't have a scouting system like our club don't.
The hilarious thing will be when Woodward goes to Leicester in Summer and is quoted £100m for Maddison and £70m from Villa for Grealish. We will get the usual line 'the other club is making negotiations difficult'.. We will then only sign Grealish once Pogba is sold.
Maybe im misrreding your point but this post is the perfect rebuttal to your own argument.
I'm not saying we shouldn't pay it - I'm also not against the transfer. I do have reservations about how good he'd be - But we need something so i'm all for it.
I'm just pointing out that slagging off the signings of 3 of our better performers this year probably wasn't the best argument to make. And the argument of "we spent loads on this guy so why not do it on this one" has so many holes in it.
This is the most obvious transfer that is not happening.
He's been busy.
Ordered a discount Sander Berge of DHgate but when it arrived this morning it was obviously a fake. He's on the phone right now to a man in Taiwan trying to get a refund.
To be honest it's all irrelevant anyways. There is no money.
Only reason i cant see him being signed is that Ole is getting the bullet at the end of the season. Probably saving the money so that another manager can spend it. It's the only thing that makes sense.
Since Scholesy retired the club have allergic reaction to attacking midfielders, with Pogba and Gomes also tipped to leave.
Why do we even enter negotiations if we can't complete one single deal...

Why can't we just do things simply and quickly? Why does it always have to turn into a huge saga EVERY damn time.
Yes, I understand that and maybe I did not word my point correctly.
I get that the club doesn't want to over spend on players and want to avoid the past. However; in the past it's not just the fee but the wage that has affected us.
In respects to Bruno. in an ideal world if we had everyone fit and a few better players, I don't think the fans would mind us sticking to our guns and saying no this is the max we will pay.
However; given the state of the club, its a matter of bodies and for the quality we are looking for, a creator who can score too - he has done that in that league. Not saying he will in the PL.
Spurs have made Le Celso permanent for £55m and he hasnt done much yet.
Come the summer we will be in for a creator if we don't bring anyone in and I can guarantee that Maddison and Grealish will both cost at least £60m starting price. Leicester will not want to sell, prob want £100m.
The so called biggest club and one of the richest quibbling over at most £10m. For a player that hops into our first team.
Again.
Again.
Incompetence or incontinent, maybe both, at the same time.
We need to stengthen in midfield more than Spurs. The money Sporting are asking is not unreasonable against the likes of Le Celso and Fred FFS. The overpaying argument is a non-issue.
Unless you havent got the money.
The Glazers have tightened the purse strings and we now only have around £70m per season for Transfers is the real reason.
"We can do things in transfer market only others clubs can dream of"
Ed be like
You don't get tractor sponsorship deals by being quick and dirty in the transfer market!
Meanwhile when we have been moaning about the Bruno Fernandes saga that is getting less amusing as time passes, Spurs have signed a winger, a midfielder, made one mid permanent though Erikssen left, absolutely shambolic attempt from United to get into top 4, it felt that it would be difficult, now seeming impossible given skinny squad depth :/
Dude,please dont create a new thread for this.
This is undisputed fact, too. Our past two transfer windows (summer windows) have followed this to a tee, net spend of around £70m. I don't know how anyone can be fooled anymore into thinking this rebuild is realistic when we can basically afford 1 x top-class first teamer each summer (and will inevitably have a couple leaving in that window too). It's not a rebuild, it's settling into midtable obscurity, slowly but surely. A continuous, ongoing, perpetual rebuild that never ends.
Barca are in talks with Bruno now apparently, WTF is going on with this club, anyone ?
Barca are in for him. Good grief - he could slow down the development of our promising youngster Jesse Lingard
Game over, this is done lads. I'm convinced of it - too much smoke now.
Can’t wait to see how the top reds spin this one if he goes to Barca.
Bruno FFernandes
Why are Barca loaning him to Valencia. Another weird Barca deal.
