Manchester United saw Mateus Fernandes as a midfield target to raise the floor, much like Ederson. What has transpired is that the market has moved to a price they aren't comfortable with for such a player, especially with a ceiling-raiser profile still on the agenda. #MUFC
We've all criticised Spurs a lot over the last few seasons for some very poor decisions...
They had SERIOUS work to do this summer.
But Mateus Fernandes, Jan Paul Van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson and Martin Dubravka...
All signed by the end of June...
That is a QUALITY rebuild for a side that's just finished 17th.
Man United pushed hard to sign Mateus Fernandes but weren’t prepared to match Tottenham’s bid. United never felt clear on his preference of club during talks. Mbeumo and Cunha were desperate to join last summer and United didn’t have the same feeling with Fernandes.

@livi_lvhi It annoys me cuz people love to act like players don’t have measurable values outside what clubs demand for them. The wilful ignorance of saying “they’re worth what the buying clubs pay” has helped inflate this bubble
🚨🚨| JUST IN: England face a right-back crisis ahead of their World Cup last-32 clash vs DR Congo.
Reece James (hamstring) and replacement Jarell Quansah (𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐋𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐉𝐔𝐑𝐘) both doubtful. 🤕🏴
