Becuase it stops us signing players I actually want to see playing for the club? It’s not rocket science, again it seems like you’re purposefully being obtuse.
Adrien Rabiot | signs 1 year deal at Juventus. See you all next year

I’ve watched him for France… he does his job. I can understand him being painful as he keeps it really simple. But believe me it’s easy to look shite amongst quality players. Watch when he comes here you’ll realise how bad the midfielder’s we have been watching are. I back him to go toe toe with Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal’s midfield with a new midfield partner.
I can’t back McFred and Bruno(Don’t know why I keep leaving this shite bag out like he’s not included in our midfield woes).
Is this the guy who said Pogba doesn't defend?

I don't know enough about Rabiot's performances in the pst 12-18 months but this "trouble maker" tag is interesting because I know that quite a few people thought that of someone else many years ago... his name is Eric Cantona.
Not saying the two players can be compared but the tag can

You are but believe in yourself. He’s a good two levels above what we have.
reports coming out he wants same wage as he gets at juve which is apparently 175k per week, and I’m not sure whether that figure is net, which is the norm for Italian wages
clearly, given our history over the past 40 years, it never has... unless so course you think we can sign Messi, Halaand and Salah
I remember watching him for PSG v Liverpool in the CL a few seasons ago. He was the best player on the pitch that day. I thought at the time I would love to see him at Utd, but I said that about Paul Pogba too.
He’s time was then, not now. It will be a disaster signing. Hope I’m wrong!

The man’s 27……
I suppose we have to accept we aren't the club we were a few season ago either. Sad but true (not that I'm desperate to have Rabiot)
I think so too.
If he can receive the ball in tight spaces, under pressure, on the half turn and progress it through midfield then he will provide a crucial function that we sorely lack.
please never do that againYou said most improved under Eric. Who wasn’t our manager then, so maybe you weren’t
And I said throughout last year Fred was terrible then as well
Was hoping to wake up this morning and it was a bad dream all along but nope, here we are yet again handing big contracts out to inadequate players. I don’t know why I thought things would be any different, Im not usually so naive but football somehow brings out the optimist in me.
Is that what happened when lingard went to West ham or Henderson went to forest? (genuine question, idk).
Rabiot has played for PSG and Juventus, and has 29 caps for France. He's not some outcast that has fallen from grace and can't get a game at Ipswich Town.
How many times have you watched him play?
Honestly I'd rather not sign anyone then Rabiot. Let's sack the mastermind behind this disastrous transfer window, we should bring a top DOF NOW, we give ETH a free pass (thus encouraging him to use kids like Zidane Iqbal, Garner and co) and we'll tackle the problem in January.
Nice one mate
Correct. Genuinely thought when I saw the link yesterday that it might actually be a good signing and will walk into the midfield.
Nah she seems like a perfectly affable and level headed person…There's a piece on Sky Sports that makes his mum sound a bit like a certain recently deceased Italian agent...
well our midfield do a lot of walking so should be a good fitNice one mate

Come on man. Your smart… football doesn’t work like that. We need to make the Champions league next season.. we cannot go backwards our manager will face the sack and we are stuck again.
Believe in him he will make it work. But what he can’t do is have a season of McFred they are relegation CM’s.
He has been outstanding in his loan spells so I think that has earnt him a chance and what that means is getting 30 mins in games and seeing how he handles it.
That makes him a 2 out of 10. We should at least aim for a 3.
We won't make CL qualification with the likes of Rabiot or Arnautoshit. That's gone. Let's do things right for once. We hire a top DOF and hope for the best. Paratici joined Spurs in July. By the end of January he made 3 signings that turned things around.

Bit rich from him. He barely attempted to defend half the time.
I was screaming for Paratici but knew we'd get a talking parrot
He didn't say a thing.
well those two weren’t on his wages for a start. This guy is looking for 175k+.
Is that the rumoured demands?
The club has no intention whatsoever to hire a DoF and this has been the case throughout the last 10 years when it is obviously something we should be doing.
I don’t see it as some sort of instant solution though - what if you disagree with the DoF’s signings?
He has 145k / week according to Capology
As much as I want to hate on this signing, I just can't. He's a very experienced CM/DM, and I can't imagine he won't improve our midfield.
If he wants to come, bring him in. The alternatives are way worse.

I can see it now...LadBible - United fans losing their minds, comparing Rabiot to legend Eric Cantona
Juventus fans are desperate to get rid. Says it all.
You can disagree with a DoF signing while also trusting his judgement.
I can’t trust a guy who hasn’t shown even a resemblance of a plan in every transfer window he has overseen.
Posted this before but only all touches video I can find, not sure if this is him at his best or worst. Doesn’t seem much of a progresser for a box to box player, seems better at tackling, interceptions
only other game is a highlights reel from a barca game five years ago
let’s hope eth brings out the player who was hyped 6/7 years ago.

I does not say it all. We were desperate to get Pogba out of our club, they were happy to get him. Sometimes it can make a difference moving clubs for a player. I am not saying Pogba will be great for them, I think he is shit, but he might. Same goes for Rabiot, he can be very good for us or he might not.
If you didn't think so then my post wouldn't make much sense.
