Addressing the initial elephant in the room: £83 million for a midfield duo of Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans reads a hell of a lot better than £85m for a 22-year-old with financial motivations.

Bruno Guimarães at 28 is valued at over £90m, while Youri Tielemans at 29 is valued at around £35m. All I know is that one year of age isn’t worth a £55m difference.
Apart from ball carrying, Tielemans matches or outperforms Bruno Guimarães in almost every key metric. His ability to strike the ball from distance gives us another way to score when teams sit deep. He also REJECTED a new deal for us.
Both Santos & Tielemans cost exactly £85m, Matues Fernandes alone is worth £85m. I think we got the better deal, regardless of the price. 3 signings in 5 days, INEOS are the truth, United fans should be excited!
@elliethfc3 “Some in the fan base” is a minority on twitter, which is horrendous place to gauge a rational opinion on the first place. My advise would be to stop getting emotionally invested in people’s feelings on here. It’s not a true representation of real life.
