Those latest comments were in an interview which he gave in fluent English... UK transfer confirmed!
 
So.... him and Lindelof would be a good partnership and our first choice pairing if this happens? :D
 
Where else can he go except Spain and Pl?

Psg? Can any of the italians afford him? Germans won't pay that much.
 
Moving to United was called 'moving to the premier League'

Whilst moving to Barcelona was called 'Moving to Spain' rather than the La liga.
 
What was the question? Did you choose between United and Barcelona? He’s throwing in Juventus too obviously.
 
Why are reports that United is “ruling out” move for Dutch Delight? Please someone make up a crazy reason how this is a plot by Ed.
 
We probably won't find out until after the games then. I

Our wages are significantly higher. Plus its a misnomer to think we are suddenly not an attractive club to go to given that the likes of Chelsea, Pool, and City continued to attract top players when they themselves were rebuilding. Just look at Roman's post-Ranieri buildup in the mid 2000s and the City takeover a few years later. Ultimately money and prestige (or some combination thereof) matter more than who happens to be in the CL next year.

A bad season can always be spun as an anomaly, and an overhaul of inadequate players, branded a rebuild. Our problem is that we have only finished in the top four twice in six years, so last season increasingly looks like part of a pattern of failure, rather than a one-off.

A narrative of incompetence and perpetual rebuild has emerged, which I think is doing tremendous damage to our prestige and allure. I expect we'll see this manifested in the summer transfer market.

What's the problem with that?

If he hasn't signed a contract, there is still a chance we can sign him. There's a point where negotiations stop and one job offers you more than the other so you have to make a decision. Barcelona won't match us so the choice is his.

Believe me I really don’t care, if we do land him I’ll be full on muppet but I think the fact we are being used by his agent is the likely scenario unfortunately.

I’m not going to get giddy till I see him holding a united shirt.
 
Well if nothing else we had last night

It was fun while it lasted

Come on mate! Just enjoy it, there won't be another big one this summer with Koulibaly, Felix and Sancho going nowhere, get involved or you'll be clutching at straws in the Longstaff thread by July.

If anyone with a shred of knowledge of the game had been at Utd after this game Utd would have signed this kid for 30m . He was so good in this game. The club is run by baboons.

Looks like Raiola was using United as the boogeyman in negotiations with Barcelona, the club had enough of that nonsense and put an end to it.

They'd have been a stronger message sent out to multiple journalists including BBCs if that was the case, because it was just Sky and their "source" that deny the interest means there's still a bit of hope.

Who's got a fixture list? This could rumble on.

Don't England play Holland in this? Agent Rashford could have a word

Rashford would probably miss the opportunity....and end up chatting to Maguire. Ole shouting down the phone....that was last summer...not this one.

There could be truth in this. There could have been a serious betting movement in last 48 hours towards United and Sky Bet needs to swing some betting elsewhere.

There was so much noise last night about United, including the bookies. I really don’t believe we’ve suddenly decided we’re not in.
