Mostly agent links. He gets info and pictures from them.

If you have not watched this, you should:
All he had to do was take a screenshot of his instagram. Not overly impressive

I don't think we'll go full 4-4-2 diamond. Ole likes his 4-2-3-1 with two wide players and one DM (McTominay / Matic). This leaves two spots in midfield and you have Fred, Pogba, Bruno and Pereira to fill them. It's reasonable competition and lets Ole rotate a bit through injuries, fixture congestion etc. but I don't think Fred will start if everyone's fit.
How is it a 4-2-3-1 with 1 DM and 2 midfielders in front of him :houllier:, thats 4-3-3 or 4-1-2-3. Ole has been playing 4-2-3-1 so it will be a 2 man midfield of Matic/Mctominay/Fred/Pogba with Bruno as a 10, however, I think the lineup below will be our best 11 when our current squad is fully fit.
De Gea
Wan Bissaka - Lindelof - Maguire - Williams
McTominay/Fred - Matic
Bruno - Pogba - Rashford
Martial
If this lineup can remain fit for most of the remainder of the season, we'll finish top 4 with ease and have a massive chance for a 2nd Europa.

By descriptions he seems similar to Deco. Mourinho is so jealous right now.

Kudos to the bods at The Sun website who clearly did not get the memo, despite Neil Custis filing (almost unintelligible) copy that made it clear that Manchester United had officially won:

‘Sporting had been holding out for £68million up front were as United had offered £42.5m plus £8.5m add ons.
‘Today agreed a slight increase to £46.6m down plus £4.2m based on appearances and a further £4.2m if United qualify for the Champions League.’
The headline?

‘Man Utd finally agree £55m Bruno Fernandes transfer as Woodward caves in over fee after late Barcelona bid’
‘Caves in’? ‘Caves in’? The man is a bloody genius!

My love of Manchester United really started when I used to watch Cristiano Ronaldo play and ever since then I have been a big fan of this great club. For me to now play for Manchester United feels incredible

Probably BS written by a press officer .... But I still loved reading it

Good stuff better later than never. Hopefully a debut win for him v Wolves on Saturday

For me to now play for Manchester United feels incredible, I have worked hard to get to this moment and I can promise the fans that I will give everything for the badge to help bring us more success and trophies. I want to thank Sporting for everything they have done for me. It is surreal to hear the nice words that have been said about me from players that used to play for this team. A massive thank you to Ole and everyone at Manchester United for the trust they have shown in me and I can’t wait to start to repay that on the pitch.”

May not be in vogue to say this these days, but it still warms my soul that Ole is our manager

Get in..

Proper quality and a player we need in a position we need.

Hopefully this is the type of signings we continue to make

Not saying he's going to do what CR7 did, but this is one Portuguese magician we look to be able to keep.

I guess I can see where this Brexit-FC thing is coming from and going. It makes no sense to sign young players from the continent, then build them up, only to see them sign for their "dream" club later. Better to sign young players who are English/British where United would be seen as the pinnacle.

On the other hand, signing players from foreign leagues when they're about to hit their peak years, and players with the right attitude which Bruno looks to have, seems to make a lot more sense. I believe United are on the right track with their transfer policy and I would rather see us suffer in the short term than experience the heartbreak of seeing our best players walk away. Bruno has just signed with us for essentially 6 years which would take him to 31-32. That is fecking amazing. If he has even half of the impact on United as some of the legends that have pulled on the shirt in the past, we're in for a treat.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said:

“We have been tracking Bruno for many months and everyone here has been tremendously impressed with all his attributes and what he will bring to this team. Most importantly he is a terrific human being with a great personality and his leadership qualities are clear for all to see. Bruno’s goals and assists stats speak for themselves, he will be a fantastic addition to our team and he will help us push on in the second part of the season. The winter break is coming at a perfect time for us to integrate Bruno into the squad and for him to get to know his team-mates.”
