Agreed. Excited about this one, although not for any reason other than we almost never make this kind of signing from South America.

My thoughts exactly.
Come on reds get it announced along with Cavani
Uruguayan winger who we've decided to stock up on.
He must be very highly rated because there’s been a few tweets suggesting he’ll be put straight into the first team set up.
Skillful player. May take some time to get him adjusted to the league.
I do like a hidden gem signing. No expectations.
So, suddenly we are in for 2-3 RW'ers!!
I imagine he will be... it's probably also likely he won't last too long in the first team either before being sent out on loan
Most excited about this one to be honest. The most low profile signing, can only be good
Will he be loaned ?
If he even takes the cup games to afford Greenwood some rest and a different option to Mata until January that would be perfect.
I have hopes for both him and that Traore lad.

No he's expected to come into the first team squad.
Did you expect anything less dysfunctional from us?
we're going to wait a decade to sign 3 DMs now.But how can he only cost 7m if he's one of the best talents? I like the sound of value, but it also sounds like a strange price
We have to pray he’s a baller.
Bebe says hello.
Was the same with Dan James too.
Similar profile, to be fair from the hightlights. Seems more talented at dribbling but lower quality in the finishing department.
I am not convinced by the signing, to be honest, not sure he is better than Chong or how long it will be before Shoretire overtakes him (though he may end up being more of a 10).
I have never seen him kick a ball in his life but I already know he's better the Dan James
And Dong too
Bebe didn’t get enough chances, to be frank. Guys like Obertan and Dong were far worse
Do we really have a choice other than to throw into the first team and hope for a surprise?
Bebe wasnt talented. This guy is, by all accounts. Forlan and some South American experts rate him, that is good enough for me. Quieroz fecked us over
He had a release clause that we activated.
Is the Uruguayan league any good?
I mean, it's all well and good being a bright prospect, but if there is a HUGE gulf in quality between the Uruguayan and EPL, then he's going struggle like crazy. Gotta love United's approach, buy and hope.

Mr. Glass never full over here.
Wasn't forlan brought in straight from Uruguay? He struggled of course but he said that was also due to his sister's illness and culture shock then.
Doesn’t he have Copa Libertadores experience?
Argentina but yeah. Valverde went straight to Madrid from Penarol and it's worked out great for both parties.
Yeah had a goal and an assist in 5 games in the Libertadores.
Love this types of signings, but they are about medium term impact and not about impacting this seasons diabolical fixture list.
Of course, he will not get thrown into 1st team matches, underwhelm and end up on the scarp heap.
Hope the kid knows what he is entering. Especially if OGS gets sacked, and the new guy who comes in and doesn't fancy him, like Moyes did to Zaha or Mourinho with Depay or OGS with Dalot.

No, Forlan came after several (3 or 4 I think) seasons in Indepiendiente (Argentina). He actually didn't play in Peñarol first team until after coming back from Europe.
Bebe wasn't exactly low profile. His transfer was under immediate scrutiny.
Valverde had a season in Castilla, and another on loan before getting in Real first team.
I am super excited of the prospect of an Uruguayan doing well in United, but I don't think we should destroy this guy with the pressure of too much expectations in the short term haha.
Ah, cool. Looks to have skill, but lacking on the finishing side. Worth a punt for that price. Cant be worse than Lingard/James
We paid something like £9m for him after he played at the homeless World Cup, proper dodgy deal with Mendes and proof our transfers have been dogsh*t for more than just Woodwards tenure.
Poor kid being see as the only proper RW in the team until January is far too much pressure
