Perisic posted a pic of his daughter who her name is Manuela but he put hashtag #Man Utd
I reckon Man Utd is her nickname given that her name is Manuela.
 
It's us so it'll be reported fee + all the add ons over the course of the deal + his entire wages all accumulated to be part of the transfer fee.
 
Bit harsh mate?

He is one of those who gets credit for low hanging fruit and people think that just because he was at the same airport or vicinity as another player that he is somehow in some magical circle of trust...

People wrongly think he has "contacts at United", just because ever so occasionally he'll have someone United related on his show. Forgetting that people go on shows all the time.
 
Incredible that nobody from the press had a clue.


Lets be clear. That got posted this morning. Both Mirror and De Brun should be black listed.

The press generally link us with every single player out there, but generally don't have any clue about these things, hence Lindelof, Lukaku and now this all breaking quickly and without anything just beforehand.

They had been guessing all summer about Matic, but didn't actually know when it might go through.
 

£40m at beginning of the transfer market would have made my eyes pop out of my head, but now doesn't seem so bad.

Not a sexy signing but hopefully a very good functional one that will help get the best out of the rest of the team. Not just giving Pogba and Herrera more freedom but the full backs and wingers too.

Hopefully, it ends us needing to constantly improve centre mid, which we've talked about for a decade, for... a couple of years!
 
I'm just a traditionalist, I like to see starting X1 players have numbers as close to the 1-11 as possible :)

There is 7 and 10 left currently. Maybe Pogba takes 10 when we submit numbers to the FA and Matic takes 6? 7 for Bale! :drool:

We always had a couple of players like Keane and Scholes outside the 11, but 31 seems exceptionally far off.
Could you imagine the scenes if we did leave the biggest signing until last and Bale arrived? My word.

I called him a chancer not a cnut! He isn't that bad :)
 
FFP is stupid anyway.

No club should be told how much they can and can't spend.
No. It's not.

Let say football finally got the appreciation it has in term of commercial value compare to American sport. More big financial players get involved, you wouldn't want those unlimited fund clubs to price bully &a buy all the players from smaller clubs. Look at Chelsea &a their players loaning system. Imagine wealthier corporation that can move up the gear to different gear with higher tier players.
 
how is 40mill high for a 28 year old midfielder? a dm can at least play to 34,35

especially in todays market thats still good value imo
 
I don't think anyone should realistically have any qualms about the reported price for Matic, if it is indeed £40m, that is an excellent acquisition in the current market.

I can understand reservations over him, but he is currently in his prime, returning to play under a manager that he played his best football for.

He plays in a position we are desperate to fill, we've bought him from a direct rival, and prices have gone insane this summer, particularly where PL teams are concerned, and seemingly even more so for United.

If that price is correct, it's very good business, and we should hopefully see a good few years with him at his peak in that position.
