Brilliant by Ole. Played him in the shop window against Leeds first match of season and also dangled the carrot again yesterday.
Next is Van de beek. Another really odd signing.
Good luck to James. He seemed like a good lad but he simply was not good enough for United.

Beautiful
Fantastic deal for us, good luck to him.
United will use his vacant number (21) to more use than his fee for a new player. This helped finance Ronaldo and allows Cavani to get 21 and enables Ronaldo to get (again) the 7 shirt.
Bye DJ. I enjoyed your debut season lad.
Good luck James. Always gave his all and was worth the punt overall, gets a tidy profit.
Wish him all the best, except against us.

I was never a fan and happy to see him go as seeing him in the lineup has been infuriating for the last couple of years.
Good luck to him though, he did try hard.

Everybody wins here. We get a good fee for a player we don’t need. Leeds get a player who will suit them down to a tee. James will get plenty of game time and should enjoy his football at Elland Road.
Spend the fecking money.

And I was thinking, if we could have squeezed more
Did well for us, started off phenomenally, but I think he needs regular minutes.
Good price raised.

First month was crazy. Good luck to him!!
Presume Ole will fall on his sword now they’ve sold his main man.
Thanks for everything and best of luck James! Already mentioned but his debut goal will always be one of my favourites!
Amazing business!
Very good deal, good luck to him.
Dont know why there are some who are surprised at the fee tbh, look at some of the ex-Liverpool players who got sold on for decent money even after having zero impact at Anfield.
We took a punt on him for cheap, hasn’t worked out, made some money. I wish we had been doing this a bit more often instead of spending £40m + on players we weren’t sure of.

Good luck DJ, shame it didn’t work for you, sure he will thrive in the Leeds team.
Remember feeling emotional for him scoring on his debut against Chelsea, very special moment for the lad considering the sad circumstances surrounding his father.

That might be Ed’s best ever bit of business for United
Oh my mental fee that.
Good fee for us. And I think he'll be very good for Leeds in that system. And I think Leeds think that way as well given they are spending a club record fee on him.
That sounds like a first real test to me.
Are any Leeds fans here? What do they think about the new club record signing?
Was never good enough, but wish him all the best.
He'll do well and has a lot of potential and speed to burn. His first few months were quite good but really needs regular football on the left with more chances to shoot to build up his game. He can be so dangerous on the counter, his best match was probably agasint City at Eastlands a couple of seasons ago I think.
Think he'll be a good signing for Leeds, and I expect him to do well under Bielsas instructions.
The United and Ole style of "express yourself" in attack doesn't really bring the most out of James, me thinks. He's more suited to a specific role and having specific tasks. Remember James having a few good runs in behind at a certain period, but never really found the net - which he should've done to be fair. Imagine Phillips will find James with his long balls in behind. Good deal for both Leeds and James.
Good luck to the guy. His debut goal will be remembered.

We’re absolutely taking Leeds to the cleaners here. Good grief. 
Great business. Simple as.
Wish him the best. He did good amount of hard work and was almost always available. Can't ask for more.
30m
Likeable kid. Hope he kicks on at Leeds and enjoys his football.
30Mil is an excellent fee to recieve. Is this the first time we've made a profit on a player since ronaldo?

Also nice to see Peter Risdale getting another crack at the Leeds gig.

What's this?
Yeah I found this strange too. Granted we signed Ronaldo but players he started ahead must wonder where they stand in the pecking order.
Go get em Dan!
Shirt numbers have already been allocated for the season can’t be altered now, unless it’s special circumstances.
I see that the price is continuously rising. First Romano said 28M euros with all addons. Now we are getting 30M GBP.
Good luck Dan, unfortunately it wasn’t to be.
