Aston Villa offered 8 million in the summer, but Cleverley wanted higher wages. Instead of pressurizing him into moderating his demands, Woodward gave him the perfect deal of playing time with Villa combined with a buy option in January which he was always going to reject. Offered the choice of a permanent move to Villa or spending a season in United reserves, he might have reconsidered.
Just boot it ffs, nothing fancy. We were a joke
That was so, so, so dumb and said so much to me about the player and current state of the squad and club. It was comical in the worst way for us United supporters.
Superstar wannabe. Needs to spend less time thinking he's the next Ronaldo and get back to basics, he hasn't dribbled past a single defender for 12 months. Good riddance.
I'm trying to think of a time were we had players like depay and Morgan available so that I could compare
Shame it didn't work out. Looked incredibly exciting at PSV. Didn't he score the highest number of direct free kicks in Europe in his last season there? Couldn't muster one for us.
Hope he picks up his career in France.

Did i say buyback, sorry meant sell-on.
Great deal. If only we had a similar buy back clause for Chitarito
I doubt we would have activated it to be honest.
It's more likely that it's a first option (option to match an accepted bid) rather than a set fee.
Great deal all round though.
Wasn't getting a game here, good deal for us. Good luck to him.
Good fecking riddance.
According to one of the journalists it is a buyback option
Won't be sad to see him go. I don't like the lad one bit.
Total flop. Won't miss him at all.
think he was talking about chicharito in this instance
He is one despised man around here, feel for him, still just a kid really and struggled with the move.
Even the likes of Pedro needed a season to bed in.
Hope he gets his career back on track with Rafael.

Fair play to Jose/whoever is getting us decent deals at bloody last.
99 problems, but RoJones ain't one.
Edit: I know you wrote this early season before Jones had his second coming and Rojo was still shit.
Good deal. Time to find someone worthy of nr.7.
Yeah agree. I don't know why people take it so personally, pathetic.
Great deal. For United and Depay. (And Lyon - I think he will do much better in the French League). Re: the buy back clause - I don't see it happening, but refreshing and promising that we seem to be a bit more savvy with clauses.
Can't help but feel that we would have included a buy back clause with Michael Keane if Jose had been around when we sold him.

Get a grip. He's a fully grown man who lives in a mansion and has bodyguards.
Sounds a good deal to me. He wasn't taking his opportunities and won't be given enough time to show his potential here with plenty of competition and more coming. A buy back with decent up front and potential fees sounds very good.
He did enough here and PSV to make it seem a good investment from Lyon. They probably think he'll shine in the French league, but not be good enough for United to buy back. And the sell on was probably required to slightly reduce the up front cost.
I think it's a reasonable deal all round.

I am glad we are clearing the ship. The team needs to slim out...with depay and morgan gone..next would be in my view young and fellaini..
in my view..we need one or two more years before we can wing the league
1/defense is ok we just need a right back..
2/ midfield ..just add few more quality
3/ we have enough for now..
4/ need to be sorted out..we need atleast three strikers..
in my view..it is marcus..martial and one quality striker..

He performed decently well at the World Cup and scored a good goal against Australia. So pretty sure enough people would have heard of him before we were linked.
It'd be interesting to know, how you know, how hard he did (or did not) work in training?
Fantastic deal. Don't see a downside to it really.
If this gets official that's gonna be a smart play from us. With the chance to buy back and getting good cash for such an inmature player.
Hope he'll get some games there!

Regarding Keane, maybe now. But I think its the experience of getting burned on buying back players that has encouraged this thinking. E.g. Matic and Pogba, although he didn't sell Pogba, neither did United for that matter, but the concept holds.
Even Mata in a round about way has shown an unfavoured player can change opinions.
Finally, the Beeb accepts we didn't pay £31 million for him, after stating that figure in all their articles until now:
Some people think being a rich footballer makes you less human
Its still wrong. The inital fee was around 20m rising to 26/7m
KDB and Lukaku too
Rossi had a buy back if I remember correctly.
Glad Depay has gone. Awful attitude and terrible at football apart from that one game in the champions league qualifier a year and half back.

The number of chances he was given in the past 12 months?
Good luck to him,hope he does well in Lyon
I know right. Jose's schooled my early-season hopes in that regard.
