The British media must be fuming. INEOS feed them with scraps now.
Nobody knows who Manchester United are signing anymore.
Santos out of the blue.
Tielemens out of the blue.
How a PROPER football club operates.

Just to let Manchester United fans know, since so many of you have followed me over the last few days (thank you all): the club had already planned not to go any further at the time of my tweet. You deserved to know the truth.
What followed was purely a PR and communication strategy. If the club had abruptly ended negotiations, they would have been legally vulnerable to lawsuits from Atalanta or the player's agents for wrongful termination of discussions ("rupture abusive des pourparlers"), given that a principled agreement had already been reached.
That is precisely why the club panicked when they saw my tweet and pushed several journalists to issue blanket denials, making it look like everything would be finalized after Brazil's World Cup run ended.
That is the one and only reason why the club directed the media toward a deal that was supposedly still ongoing (giving them time to secure their medical and legal case). Yet, behind the scenes, the truth was very different... 🤭
Case closed. Onto the next one.
🚨⚠️ EXCL: Éderson to Manchester United, deal OFF and considered as collapsed as Man Utd informed Atalanta.
Atalanta believe Éderson is 100% fit and will welcome the midfielder back as part of their squad, as Man United changed their plans.
Éderson won’t join #MUFC.
#MUFC are very happy internally with the signing of Andrey Santos. They thought that #CFC wouldn't sell him this summer given his high ceiling, let alone for only £50M. Top scoop by @MikeKeegan_DM.
United want another midfielder alongside Santos & Ederson. Medicals soon for both
