It's a weird one isn't it.
Most would agree that he's not a player we needed at all, but the United PR machine has been talking it up for weeks.
To me it seems as another one EtH would have been happy with as part of his drive to evolve the squad, but the powers that be were complacent and didn't feel the need to move right now - which is fine in a world where they don't use mouthpieces online to talk it up.
My view is I'm not particularly bothered, but it's another example of the need to stop briefing the press about transfers. We know it happens, and it's just juvenile at this point, especially when the end result is a player ending up at Liverpool. I don't think he was particularly high on our list, but the outside world will just run with a narrative now.
