Quite impressive how well he speaks Spanish actually.

I didn’t mean it so literally.
I
Know, but it’s weird, only in England we are spoken of for our nice weather .
done what ?
Just thinking about it makes me kinda annoyed.
He wouldn't have been asked that question if he was going to City. Weather seems to be forgotten when it's Pep.
Interestingly there’s a few on there not happy and see this as the club basically pushing him out because he’s not Spanish/Catalan in exchange for those sorts of players. One or two of them actually blame Xavi and Laporta specifically
Does ETH need to romance him a little bit more or is it the board holding up the deal? The tweets haven't really changed much over the past few days, just the same regurgitated stuff
I doubt they will there will be much change until the internationals are over.
True, how many more games do the dutch have left?
Convinced a class player to join us based on footballing reasons.
Our MO has usually been to shower players with cash
Last game is Tuesday vs Wales.
I feel like I’ve been here before multiple times before though, we wait for internationals to end and expect some movement but nothing happens other than the usual cycle of tweets stating it’s close/not close, bid/no bid. Player goes on holiday, so we wait for player to return from holiday before anything can happen with they cycle of tweets continuing.
Hopefully it will be different this time.
Big day today
Definitely this and don’t forget ETH said he wants players back on the 27th for pre season, but those who have int will be given an extra x2/3 weeks this could drag on till mid July as Frankie goes on holiday you’ll get all the usual “seen with a fan saying he’ll stay” and all sorts of nonsense way too early for a big move like this to be finished. Lots of cash to be made on socials etc.
Absolutely no chance.

Not going to see any movement till after the Nations League wraps up. So from Weds morning I reckon
It’s called the rainy city for a reason! There’s undoubtedly more grey days there than anywhere else I’ve lived in the UK. As I said doesn’t stop it being great though.
We need reinforcements for forwards considering the number of players who have left. There will be no Cavani, Greenwood or even Martial who seems likely to depart.. our only senior forwards are Cristiano Rashy and Sancho.. we definitely need a player there on priority. CB can probably wait..
This will get announced when the Cafe is down tomorrow won't it.
He's right mate. I moved from Mcr to London and the difference was huge. You actually get a summer!
Not saying Mcr is awful at all, it's got loads going for it, just that the weather is a bit grim.
His value should have decreased if anything.
I will fight you all on this hill. Manchester is plenty sunny.
I’d agree if ten Hag can get a tune out of Maguire and get him back to his best football. I do think ten Hag may offer some chances for young players next season. Each manager we’ve had since fergie has all had at least 1 young player who they’ve called up and relied on. Think with ten Hag it could be garnacho/diallo.
I especially chose to look at this game last night. Wanted to see both Timber and De Jong as we are interested in them. Well I was not impressed with either. De Jong was in the refs face all the time, until he was eventually booked. Timber was taken off in the second half with Van Gaal saying his legs were gone.
We will need someone alongside De Jong to win the ball as he is not the bravest in a tackle. Maybe Sangare or a tough tackling DM.

Spot on! People have this weird obsession whenever Utd want to sign a player from a sunny climate.
Yet when it’s City it’s no issue atall.
Any links to strikers we are interested in?
People are over-analysing this massively.
He mumbled something in his second language because he was under pressure. He could even have got 'creo' and 'puedo' mixed up in his mind as he was trying to think.
This is happening.
It’s done. My dick is now in muppet mode.
Yes, your right our goals for record last season was very low and will have to improve greatly this season.
I think diallo is very far down the list of players who will break into the first team. Absolutely stank at rangers for the part last season.
Getting 'Nos vemos en Manchester' vibes with this one, hopefully it will end more positively this time.
Call me crazy but I like the climate in the NW of England. Nothing too extreme, pretty mild all year round. Yes it can be grey and wet quite a bit but not nearly as much as people make out.
Great conditions for football. Who wants to run around in 30 degree heat.

Ah ok. Fred is much better as an 8. I don’t think we have seen the best of Donny in a Utd shirt, his chances were few and far between. Depends who the DM is. Somebody like Matic (same style of play) would work well. I agree Frenkie will do wonders for us though.
It's a sweltering 19 degrees here on Thursday and Friday next week. Don't think he's signing for Barrow AFC though.
Including add-ons, maybe? €80m seems a bit steep.

That’s Euros chap. It equates to £68.3m which personally I consider a reasonable price for a player of Frenkies quality.
Him saying I can't speak or whatever he says is not what someone says if they are staying put. This is happening if we can agree a price.
considering its costing £85m Im not too concerned about the fee for FDJ.
Brilliant player and considering we spent £50m on Fred this is a steal.
