Fantastic player. Big backing of ETH by the club.

My only concern is not having a decent striker available to fully benefit. Hopefully the club can do some very late business or it will be next year or maybe Jan.

Happy with the signing. We overpaid but at the end of the day I think he is a player with very high potential and someone ETH really wanted.

Also nice to have a player our rivals will hate since he is a bit of a showboater and has a pretty punchable looking face :D

I have a feeling we have purchased a player who is just on the precipice of exploding on the world scene.

Signing a RW and a DM in the same window. What parallel universe have we wandered into.

I'm really happy with this. We've been crying out for a decent right winger translator for Casemiro for so long!

I really hope he hits the ground running here. The media will be constantly on his back about the fee if he has inconsistent performances to start with.

Some outrageous bits of skill in his highlights comp. If he can consistently do that with end product and work rate then he will be a huge **** hero.

His dribbling is all fine and dandy but what I like is his end ball is really great most of the time, good stuff.

He is joining at a good time…in comparison to the last couple of years.

Moral is on the up! (slightly)
He knows the manager and a good number of the players!

Plus he will add to the good vibes and hopefully along with the other new faces the mentally of this new group hasn’t been beaten and broken.

Hope the manager is correct on this guy being worth that investment. I expect us to flit between the different possible front threes now. Martial will only play CF, Antony will only play on the right, Sancho and Rashford fill the gaps as required.

Rashford - Martial - Sancho
Sancho - Rashford - Antony
Sancho - Martial - Antony
Rashford - Martial - Antony

If Ronaldo stays, then just substitute him for Martial at times. Elanga is a further back up for the wide spots. Garnacho is going to struggle for game time.

I'm slowly starting to warm to Lisandro Martinez, who knows, the same might happen with this absolute cnut of a player.

Hope he does well for you lot.

Good. We needed someone like him. Who cares about the price, it's not our money anyway

My only hope is that he will continue with the flair and tricks at Old Trafford and the step up doesn’t change him too much! Remember watching Pogba do some outrageous stuff and score screamer after screamer at Juve but could t replicate it at Old Trafford!

Don't forget that he taught Nunez everything that he knows...

At this point we might as well just get the rest of the lads learning Portuguese or Spanish

Is he our first ever left-footed right winger? Don't really think Amad counts.

Bit by bit the team is starting to look very balanced.
