Darmian at left back is piss poor, but other than that it's a strong team*

This should work wonders for our team, specifically for Pogba.
Really happy with this transfer. Much needed signing in midfield and I think he'll do well for us. Hope we wrap up Perisic too, at this stage if Mourinho wants him its enough for me.

yes! always like this guy!
BBC isn't saying that, the fact that they're linking MEN report it proves that they're basing off it. Ducker is reliable as it gets for us.
He was in 2005. Still looks pretty good for 50 in my opinion.
We are apparently close to signing him now?
I only put him there because Rojo and Shaw are injured.
Blind leaves us exposed against fast players. Our transfer window would be close to perfect if we signed a left winger and a left fullback.Didn't notice they're also linking the MEN report, hell.
Ducker is the one to believe definitely here.
It is an ok signing, not more not less. If he finds his best form, fine, but I think we could have done much better
If you think he's the right player for £40m but not £50m you need to look at yourself.
If you're more worried about being able to laugh to City than improving our team then you're an idiot.
Simon Stone doesn't even know.
He's got a great left foot on him and he knows how to tackle. Great signing for the team to be honest. Can't argue with Jose's ability to get players.

FIFY
If those £10m means we have been successful then it's fine.
Get in!
Are we sure he still does? He's been doing a very convincing impression of a complete wuss since that Barnes challenge.
Irrelevant.
A very solid signing. Knows the league, knows the manager, knows how to win the Premier League, knows how to do all the dirty work and let the better attacking players do their thing.
Phasing Carrick out and replacing him with the proven Matic will be a smooth transition.

We can't all sign their star players like Solanke.
Agree. If Jose has identified who he thinks we need, then it would be stupid to not bring them in.
Tbf its not that the majority think he is great... actually more a bench option. Its mostly they sold to us. Hopefully he does a great job for United but like most I dont find him a dynamic or exciting signing, maybe just a necessary one.
Courtois, Kante, Hazard, Azpiliqueta I'd say, with Luiz, Fabregas, Pedro close to those levels.
Juve have lost Alves and Bonucci, 2 world class players. They have Buffon, Chiellini, Alex Sandro, Marchisio, Dybala, Higuain now.
I'm happy enough with this signing, give us exactly what we need in midfield and allow Herrera and Pogba do their thing with having worry about the cover behind them.
Not getting the whole underwhelming response since 99% of defensive midfielders are underwhelming, there's not many out there that would make you change your trunks if United signed them.

You clowns managed to sign a midfielder yet? Matic would walk straight into your midfield, and he'd also bring 2 PL medals to Anfield
But we wanted Matic and not Bakayoko.
See that's where the bias comes in. Courtois and Azpi aren't world class at all. Fabregas and Pedro being close to those levels is laughable.
Marchisio, Higuain aren't world class too.
Hearing its 35m plus 10m addons. Wonder if Inter will settle for the same if they want 45m for Perisic as well
And lindaloff gets his act together
Tbh that's the point of this summer. Last year was marquee striker, marquee midfielder, creative attacking player, desperately needed defender.
This summer was always going to be about adding steel to the team as long as the striker situation was taken care of.
You take the term 'World Class' quite loosely based on those players.
Get in!
Hey, atleast we're getting our main targets in
? How's the VvD and Keita sagas going on?The last time we signed a 'Chelsea reject' whose surname started with 'Mat-' I'd argue it turned out pretty well for us.
Can not wait to slate the shit out of this clown in our first PL match day thread.
Agreed but as of now it's underwhelming, if you disagree you delude yourself imo. Our quality is far from European elite. Even Chelsea, Spurs, City have better XI's.
Don't laugh. He might just turn out to be one kid they regret selling in the long term.

Do you reckon he'd manage to leave with them?
£40m in todays market isn't bad at all. He will need to up his game from what he's been delivering for the last 18-24 months but I'm pleased with this signing. I think he'll prove to a be a solid and dependable player for us.
I will try and put this in simple terms Manchester United need premier league prover winners and Matic fits the bill.
