Is he a legit itk? Twice in a week he got things right.
I give up!
McTominay should be worried about his place in the squad if he's signed.
What 2 things did he get right?
Just waiting for the inevitable tweets stating we're not in for him. That's how it works right?
The spellings of Manchester and ITK?
It would be absolutely amazing and totally against our past to sign this lad under the quiet like this.
Breath of fresh air to be honest
This is picking up pace with a lot of reports saying its to United! Great signing if it is us. Just seems too quick for us!
Nah he just deletes stuff he gets wrong, said Gomes renewed about 2 hours before it was announced he's off.
Ajax say NEIN
Koeman prefers Genie which actually makes sense. They will let Vidal go and replace him with GW.
He is not competing with mcTominay, and instead will be rotation with Pogba and Bruno.
We do need to sell McT while he has some value, somehow buy Camavinga.
It’s happening! Welcome donny
Bloody hell, this biggest shock about this tweet is the picture of Overmars! He's been having plenty of cakes since retirement!
Why would Ajax answer in german?
Inevitably, as soon as this is disproven the fella from Dawson’s Creek will get dog’s abuse on Twitter.
Ahh, shit meant Andy T, as in Andy Tate.
Probably on. This has hallmarks of a classic United transfer.
Exactly
Cause they're gonna sell him to Dortmund just to piss us off.
Nice
It's on

Standard stuff from these so called “ITK’s” why anyone buys into their shite I’ll never know. Must be through pure hope and desperation that they want it to be true.
Same. Can play instead of Fernandes if he needs a rest, can play instead of Pogba if he needs a rest, and is clearly good enough to play that third midfield role if he settles. If Villa want silly money then I'd be quite happy for us to go for a genuinely good value option. Would prefer him to Wijnaldum for example, but I see them as very similar in the sense they're versatile, reliable and could play to a good level at almost any club. Another year with Pereira and Lingard as back up would surely prevent us from even challenging.
very good player
So he is cover for Bruno and Pogba?
So feckin on.
VDB, Sancho and Camavinga more like.
We will have great starting options and depth in midfield and attack.
Devastated.
Where would he play for united? His best quality is getting in the box. Don’t really see what he adds to united apart from squad depth. Won’t be a starter in this midfield.
Cover and rotation.
Seems like this might be happening. I think he would be a very good addition to the squad. It's hard to buy a better player than him for 35 million these days. And he could potentially play in both Matic's, Pogba's and Bruno's positions. We sorely need a backup midfielder that Ole trusts enough to give those three a rest and some competition.
Regardless of Sancho signing or not, I honestly would be happy with this signing. He may not improve our First XI, but he'll keep our First XI strong enough, when one of our key players is injured (which is inevitable, looking at our history), drop in form or in need of rotation.
Our First XI looks so good, but one key player away to "crumble" (well, maybe not on Matic position. Fred is good enough as cover).

Usually a good sign, to be fair.
He could well be, but also he could be Herrera's replacement.
Odd. I was just told he's a CM not an AM.
On the bench on big games.
Start 30 games when one of Pogba or Bruno is injured or needs to be rested.
30 starts + 20 sub appearances over a season.
Do you think he is of much better quality than Pereira, Lingard, old Mata?
