Hm that is a shame. Perhaps he can play in the pivot with Eriksen.
Guido Rodriguez | linked with an actual DM shock! Did ETH lie? Is murtough caving in to fan sentiment? Tune in for next installment | Percentile watch

Feels like we have a list of players that agents have called up asking if they want their client
You can imagine a Saul Goodman like agent calling United and selling them some magic beans.

That might be the case. But he could also be a relatively unheard of player that Palace sign fairly cheaply, has 1 good season, then we bid 80 Million for him.
This is the type of off the radar signing that may surprise. Worth the risk.
This guy is class from what I've seen. But he's a pure defensive midfielder, don't exit in the world of United
It makes sense that we go for a different type of midfielder considering there isn’t a good second best to de Jong. Either that or ten Hag just realised he needs to protect that back four somehow.
No idea who he is but I prefer him over Rabiot
He sounds like that Fernando dude who played for City. Is he similar?
Yeah but is it Rabiot as well or are we stupidly going to still play one of you know who
The most relevant question hasn't been asked yet.
Before building castles in the air is this journalist even reliable?

Let's be honest, FDJ is dead in the water.
This isn’t necessarily our problem. Brighton completely bypassed our press yesterday by playing long - really smart. More teams will do this, what we lack are players who will win second balls.
Paul Scholes vibes
When you put it like that, it reminds me Liverpool during Klopp first months.
Me likey.
He knows what he's talking about. We need some grit in the middle of the park. Lets go.
Percentile now joining levers and pivot on the list of annoying fecking words from from this summer 
Talk about panic buying after yesterdays result, the board have gone into complete meltdown,ETH, it's about getting the right player...yeah right
They'd presumably play alongside each other, behind Bruno.
McFred, VdB and Eriksen probably as backups.
Didn't the initial tweet linking us with the guy state it's either Rabiot or Rodriguez? Not that it should be taken as gospel, mind.
Any credible journos on this?
Another one that could have been done weeks ago if there's any truth in it. The De Jong deal is dead.
At least he's not old and washed up. Whether he's any good who knows!
I've watch him play week in, week out for whatever team he currently plays for, after Utd there my fav team, my favourite colour is their shirt colour whatever that is. I'm quite comfortable in saying he's probably the best player in world football right now.
He’s a one man tackling wall, nothing gets past him infront of the defense. He’s decent enough with the ball enough not to give the ball away but his positioning and tackling are as good as any in La Liga. Solid player, not fancy but does the dirty work very well.

If Bruno starts ahead of Eriksen it would be up there with us signing Rabiot as an alternative to FDJ, a shocker! That said a proper DM might allow us to play both.
Andre Santos 2011 vibes here
Hoping for a 20 year old. The moment I saw his picture I thought he is another 33 year old we are going after.
We’re in the ‘El Hadji Diouf’ stage aren’t we?
28 years old
Any intel on him?
Only an i3 processor.
Not great at multitasking, but it'll do a job.
Another nothing player, we are fecked.
Doesn’t sound like the type of player we’d sign. Not believing it
I'll take it, really would. Garner, Hannibal and Iqbal to fill in when needed.
We're gonna buy a DM! Rejoice the nation of M.U
EtH generally likes a box-to-box player to carry the ball through midfield (De Jong / Gravenberch) alongside a disciplined holding midfielder (Martinez / Alvarez) - I'd assume that with the De Jong deal seemingly collapsing, Rabiot will be coming in to fulfil the former b2b role, with someone like Rodriguez joining him as a holding midfielder. Of course, this whole story could be bollocks.
If takes yesterdays result to get going I’m all for it. These players haven’t come from no where, they would have been looking at them for a while. It doesn’t necessarily mean the De Jong deal is dead either..
ETH, it's about getting the right player...yeah right
Sounds good. I’m a fan of a ‘not fancy workhorse’ type player. I thought Ander was great. Disappointed when he left.
Yes! Ive always wanted United to sign him ever since I first heard of him two minutes ago.
any journo of note reporting on this?
