This World Cup has made me wonder have players just forgotten how to shoot from distance? Watching Spain v Cape Verde and jfc I’ve seen better long range attempts from Sunday league players
Manchester United must have accepted a considerable sum from Amazon, after turning down more than £10m last year. Arsenal, City & Spurs got £10m, so this must have been well in excess of that.
It is a gamble though & takes a lot of confidence in how the club is run & how it will perform next season. Great season & you've got the content to match, but if it is a disasterclass & it's simply banter for everyone else.
You better get this summer right or you're paying for it in front of the world next season.
As @SullyTalkz, @UtdNadd, @CCTransfers16 & @shaunconnolly85 have reported over the past two weeks, Manchester United have been in talks with Mateus Fernandes & working on this deal for months.
The consensus is he's very keen on joining & the club believe he is giving them priority over other clubs following talks with his reps, with Fernandes seeing the opportunity to join United as his dream move.
It's also clear this is the club's #1 priority & the thing they are working on right now. They've put in ground work, Bruno Fernandes (his idol) & Diogo Dalot have been speaking to him also. That matters.
A player this good is always going to have interest across Europe & fierce competition for him. Fee has been mentioned as key & West Ham have set their asking price publicly.
Now only time will tell if a middle ground will be found & all the work on this deal will pay off, but personally I'm not going to overreact to every new report 🤷♂️
