Yes!!! Omg Woody is spoiling us, omg I can't wank anymore!!!!

When I saw the news, first thing I thought was at least @Sam can be happy again :lol:
 
I genuinely can't believe we were interested in him let alone signed him. It just made too much sense. Thought we were going to Sanchez this one like last season.
 
So someone tell me about Morgan Schneiderlin, strengths and weaknesses?

:lol:
 
This is great news. Darmian, Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin all signed in one weekend! Am I dreaming? :drool:
 
this is quite possibly the best weekend of my life. Is that sad?.........Is it bollocks!!!

Woodward is a man possessed at the moment wouldn't be suprised to wake up and find he's persuaded big dave to sign an extension or something there's no stopping the bloke now.

talk about a bloke on top of his game.

Very good defensively, decent playmaker. Seen him compared to Carrick a lot, though he's a better DM. Youngish too, so he could be around for years.
 
If De Gea doesn't stay, this'll be our most important bit of business all summer, for me.

We've now got some genuine steel with this guy. There'll be no more waltzing through our midfield unchallenged, and we're actually going to become a nightmare midfield for opposing sides once again.

Crucial signing - Schweinsteiger is the pretty icing on a cake, but Schneiderlin is the base ingredients that make the cake in the first place.

He'll make Carrick's and Herrea's lives in midfield a lot more comfortable, too.

The possibilities he opens up with regard to our set-up(s) are vast.

Really looking forward to seeing what LVG does with this shiny, new midfield of his. We've legitimately got a top percentile midfield at league level now.
 
Amazing bit of business to bring him in. Fair play.
 
I'm surprised so many people are sill confident of this still happening. All the signs indicate we low-balled Southampton a while back and then left it. Surely he'd be ours by now if we wanted him? We leave to go on tour on Monday and it doesn't look like a complicated transfer to complete.

All logic points towards us not wanting him after we found out Schweinsteiger was available. Really hoping I'm wrong.

Not so smart now are you?
 
Bayern confirming talks about Bastian...

Looks like the theory about Morgan being our back up plan is proving too be true (:(). Explains why we've been dragging our feet.

Looks like we've made our choice, and its not Morgan.

Absolutely gutted.

LVG said we needed a right footed #6. That describes both of them. It'll be one or the other.

And the dream dies :(

I'm never getting emotionally involved in a transfer again. My short lived muppet days are over.

LVG wanted a right footed #6. He has his man.

Look how quickly we've managed to escalate the Darmian and Bastian deals (Memphis too) to get them in time for the tour. Now look at whats happening with Morgan, hardly a sign that we're going all out guns blazing for him? Especially when you consider that this is a deal that should be quite comfortable to complete given all the circumstances.

The only other possible hold up I can think of is that Southampton are asking for a ridiculous fee. But that would go against everything thats been said up to now.

From having one of the worst to one of the best midfields in just over a year.
 
Great midfield options, but Herrera sticks out like a sore thumb. Wouldn't want us to be without him for a long period, it will be like a return to the Fletcher and Carrick partnership of years ago, where we are trying to break teams down with a midfield whose instinct is to beat people up (exaggeration of course ).
 
Schneiderlin--Schweinsteiger--Herrera.

United's new midfield trio. Dayum it feels good to be a United fan now.
 
Our midfield permutations and tactical possibilities are now formidable.
 
From no midfield signings in five years, to Herrera, Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger. Unbelievable.
 
This is the best signing of the summer if true. The one we really needed to happen. Chuffed to bits..... Get in !!
 
Amazing weekend!! Who we signing tomorrow ??
A top quality centre half and a young striker as back-up to Rooney with potential to take over from him would just be amazing. If we kept De Gea aswell...
