Because he's petulant and his agent (mother) will be going to the press more than Raiola did, if the club want to stand by their claims of a reset then you can't be signing characters with baggage like Rabiot.
Adrien Rabiot | signs 1 year deal at Juventus. See you all next year

Coming in on a big wage ?
Rabiot is better than McFred, so that's something. I just don't understand how the best United's recruitment department can come up with is Rabiot.
Early in the summer we were getting linked to up and comers like Kone. We were getting linked to Laimer before the Bayern negotiations started.
How have we ended up with Rabiot as a target? Honestly, we may as well ask PSG to loan Ander Herrera back.

He’s better than what we have.. but again isn’t he meant to be an idiot? Can’t say it’s the best move for the dressing room.

Scattergun approach has started. Really underwhelming player who comes with a tonne of baggage.

I hope McTominay's mother doesn't go to the games.
One that very likely isn't suited to PL football at that.
This is another signing that if we wanted him it could have been done weeks ago. Definitely looks like a De Jong alternative and we've accepted he's going elsewhere.
I gave them the benefit of the doubt that we had some kind of plan which explained our lack of transfer activity but now we just look desperate.
She is. But she isn't really like Raiola because she is just ridiculous, no one take here antics too seriously.
I’m not sure that’s true. By all accounts his petulance was left behind with his teenage years
Poor man's Gareth Barry, and a twat
I dont think Rabiot has ever played under ETH previously or played in the Dutch league. Doubt this is true
After hearing what people who know him have to say about him, I'm not averse to sign him. It sounds like he could perform the DM-like role on a ETH system quite well. Of course also depends on price and wages, but get him in!
Beautiful curly hair as well

I mean he wouldn't be my first choice, far from it. In fact I think coupled with Arnautović this makes Murtough and the rest of the recruitment department look terrible, since there seems to be no planning at all. Mostly just wanted to point out that he definitely isn't a bad player and could be an upgrade on McTominay.
As for your are we broke question. I was wondering whether our pursuit of Arnautović means we will spending more money elsewhere, like RW or RB. At least that's what I am hoping this indicates.
Have to say McT going the other way would ease the pain of Rabiot joining a bit
Talk about a transforming window.. Arnautovic, Rabiot and all that....
Transforms us into an elite midtable club. Whats wrong about it?
If this paved the way for McT to leave the club, it could be the best deal.we've made..
Wonder if we could get David Luiz in and feck off Maguire next.

He played for Juve against Ajax during 2018/19
Would feel better if Mctominay is gone. Would actually be surreal if he goes. Might not be bad if we then get Tielemans also
just no.
Atleast that should get us top 4
He is terrible, in that he contributes literally nothing in the midfield: no tackles, no assists, no shots. He just runs. On the other hand, Juve is even more terrible as a whole, so you can argue he would do better elsewhere, like Kulysevski and Bentancur now at Spurs. Caveat: without real pressure to perform and win, any of these players (and more… like Bernardeschi, Kean, even the latest Dybala if you want) is a superstar.
Just think this is journos making up clickbait shite again - intermediaries touting players around and mud sticking at Utd as always.
Tell me about it. Just sell him. I don’t want him on the bench or on the training ground.
This window has really been something else altogether.
So those Mctominay out rumours - I don’t think it’ll be him necessarily but if we signed Rabiot and De Jong/alternative then we’d have Eriksen, Bruno, DVB, Mctominay, Fred, Rabiot and FDJ for 3 positions plus Garner/Iqbal. Surely someone would be leaving?
McT playing for Juve would be a sight to behold
I wasn't in favour big of this but if McTominay is going the other way then I'm all for it.
It really feels like we wasted the past 6 months.
Rabiot is the best we can sign?

The elite part.
Seems a panic buy after the opening day defeat and the performances of McFred (who would have thought, huh?). I mean Rabiot has been available all summer.
Still, anything at this point is an upgrade over McFred.

Who's accounts? He's never been the most mentally strong player, and he quits more often than we need right now.
If he comes here he's going to be worse than Pogba and Lingard combined.
He isn't even that good of a player.
It's Ornstein reporting it. When does he ever make up stuff for clickbait? He's as reliable as they come.
Why is everyone complaining ? He’s a far better option than that clown Mctominay
Best part of it if we can get rid of McTom
You know what… fine. As long as we dont have to see Fred and McTominay starting in midfield again.
McTominay especially. He is really not up to the task in my opinion.

Rabiot seems to end up out-of-favour everywhere he goes, including with the national team. Probably better than our current options but would still be underwhelming. Would adding him to our... shall we say.. challenging dressing room be a good idea? I'm not sure what to make of this one.
How is he on the ball? I think he would still be an upgraded if his ball carrying is better.
