If reports are true then we are trying to conclude this deal before the likes of Barca and Real come sniffing around. Oh but then he will be the dogs bollocks if he went to Madrid and not here.

Alex Sandro came from Porto.
I've seen a lot of moaning here but he takes the cake. Crying and moaning about absolutely everything is the only thing he does.Yep we never win trophiesCan you imagine these lot if they were spurs or dippers "supporters"?
So, I am literally the last one you remembered.
Do you want your jaws snapped?
Mine is as is well to be fair
I believe Portuguese posters here who are praising him over you who just like me doesn't have a clue about him.
Ai but he’s 19 and started a CL final.
My point is just because he’s 19 doesn’t mean he can’t compete to start.
How about you trust our scouts and be positive?
Carrick has retired
Nobody starts more games than Valencia, with the exception of Pogba & Zlatan last season and Matic & Lukaku this season. He is almost the first name on the teamsheet.
And, also people tend to forget that most of the time, Valencia is playing right winger and defender by himself as we don't really have real right winger the last 2/3 seasons. He basically has to cover the whole right side by himself and yes his crossing is less desirable but I think if we go for a right winger this summer, thing will improve.
If it means Valencia would be our main RB for the next 2-3 years then hell no.
Tbf to him theres a lot of them
Also needs to be noted that its unlikely given Jose's M.O that he's signing this guy to go straight into the first team. He'd want a more experienced first choice RB/LB so its more likely Valencia is still first choice RB with an experienced LB coming in.
It's just the feeling I get. And yes, never heard of either Bebe (at that time) or Dalot. I really hope it's a good move!
Buy couple of Zlatni Pans in advance.Šlag i šećer
What happened? Is it official and can I order a beer?
We will have to trust the scouts, that's what they are there for. Must have no trust in Fosu, or has some other position in mind for him, as he is 6'3" and strong as an ox.

Sometimes. It depends.Is jaw snapping a pastime in Croatia?
Its a feeling because you natural inclination must be to doubt and complain. You should know enough about Mourinho by now to know he prefers to buy older players so when he buys young he must see something in them. He of course can get it wrong like all managers but he gets more right than wrong.
Oh for sure. I hope they're not as depressing in real life.
Like this signing. Seems promising from what’s been stated on here, and I’m sure if we drop him into the starting 11 from the first game of next season he’ll contribute more to the attack than Valencia
Not yet.. Surprised no one has it sait it yet, you see the NYSE needs to open before any announcement.. As it's the Memorial Day long weekend is USA.. So guess there is still time..
I don't see what else Mourinho would be intending by buying a 19 year old RB. No way he is gonna be a starter any time soon so that's the only thing it can mean. Or maybe rotating Valencia and Young.
If we would be in for someone established to replace Valencia, then it wouldn't make sense to get this guy also.
Super excited about this one, no pressure as well as Valencia will still play a lot of games next season. He may even just boot him out the team!
Looks like we might have a good player. However I remember reading something similar when darmian signed for united, so a bit sceptical. Fingers crossed he turns out to be a great player for united.
In my opinion, Young was better than Valencia this last season. Nevertheless, in my ideal world, I would change both of them fast.
You have to wonder about TFM's future though with this and the likes of Olosunde who just got his first cap for the US will have to move out on loan or leave.
To be fair I think the majority of us were hopeful and excited about Darmian, its just not worked out for him here at all. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he goes to Juve and ends up looking like the player we all hoped he would be here.
Valencia will play better if we have balance and width on the right side

Little less than 5 hours than. Exciting times!
Italian game is a bit slower so it suits him better.
Impossible.
Is he as one-footed as Valencia?

Nope, at least from the videos I’ve seen of him
Can equally whip in a cross from either foot which is a relief

I have no idea how good this lad will become (I don't watch enough foreign football to judge) but it's a positive sign to see the club chasing young talent. Another positive is this signing will hurt the agenda driven 'Jose hates kids' brigade.
Valencia has seen better days in terms of ability and what he brings to the team, but I can think of few better candidates to assist in the bedding in period for a young fullback learning his trade. A proper role model.
Porto fans surely have/had high hopes on the kid, they've been talking about him for the past few years. Personally i havent seen much of him other the last few games he did this season, but he sure does look promissing. However the pressure of playing for United is quite different...
Porto management has been living the amateur hour, selling Ricardo Pereira cus his contract was running out and leaving Dalot with a low 20M€ clause...
The amount of hate from Porto supporters towards Dalot and Porto management is getting nuts!
