There's no way he's making £18 million per year.

Oh boy
Man has grande cojones to come to us knowing we’re bottom of the league and seeing this as a challenge for himself, a beast of a DM at United, it’s been a long time
Sounds like the BBC.
If it's United, add every few and wages for contract then quite that.
If it's another club, quote the basic fee only.
Pathetic really.
We are just waiting for them to agree on a swap deal with Andros Townsend.
Of course.
Is it just me or does he look quite alarmed to be in a United shirt?!!
I wouldn't have got into this position in the first place if I was Joel Glazer, or indeed anybody associated with our sporting performance. I would have had a recruitment team in place that can be relied upon.
We didn't get to 12 days left in the window by warping through time, we got into a panic buying situation through ineptitude and a complete failure of planning.

@FootyGirl88 It’s a catchphrase now!
Alvarez was his 6 last year at Ajax. So....
i'm just gonna ignore the rest as it's laughable IMO
Clearly a panic buy and we’ve way overpaid for him. I dread to think what his wages are too. A lot of red flags, but good luck to him.
I just can’t get excited about these signings anymore. Cracking player on paper. CV been there done that. Same as Varane. Let’s hope he’s better than Varane!
Without a doubt this has been one of the best signings the club has made in recent years and one of the most important ones. If we get De Jong our midfield has gone from the worst in the league to one of the best. Still not feeling that buzz from a major signing while we have those snakes as owners.

We will be a much better team with him. Can he play on Monday?

I don’t want to piss on anyones fire but we’ve paid 70 million for 30 year old that Madrid didn’t want. They let Varane go easy enough and look how that ended up. They’re not stupid.
Not sure how anyone can have any complaints about this. It's hardly ground breaking analysis from me but City/Liverpool/Madrid have top players in every position which is why they're the best teams. We don't, and he's a top player. There's always the risk of his age/motivation but he's worth the risk.
Mental that this signing happened. Still can't believe he wants to come to us right now, and the speed in which we got it done with no fuss is just unbelievable considering how much of a mess we are right now.
The only reaction that matters is of the fans.Visit any Madrid forum. No one wanted to let him go. This hopefully works out.
Real Madrid has organized a goodbye ceremony for him so it seems he won't play. There's no way a work permit can come that fast, specially over a weekend.
So...has this transfer shown that the Utd officials can get a transfer done quickly?
Waiting for the inevitable “He’s turned to shit’ thread that happens to almost every player who joins this cursed wretch of a club……
With you there my friend, I hope it works out.
Well if you read Ancelotti's comments from this morning you'll see that they obviously wanted to keep him, he's quite bitter in those.
Casemiro told them he wanted to leave and they let him go out of respect given his contribution in the past decade or so.
Granted, signing him would have probably been a bit harder if they didn't already have Tchouameni in the squad, but just because they accepted his transfer request doesn't mean they didn't want him.
That isn't true and they didn't want to let Varane go either.
Madrid respect their veteran players a lot. Perez knows players like Casemiro and Varane gave everything for them. They usually don't stand in the way of these types of players wanting to leave.
This transfer has a different feel, to me at least. Casemiro wanted it, not Real Madrid. They would have prefered to actually keep him.
Embarrassing... RM don't let any top player go.
70M, we're a laughing stock.
70M, we're a laughing stock.
We need a version of Kroos now, a right back, a no good no 9, and a replacement for Maguire (or for him to somehow improve a coupleof levels).
They didn’t try hard to keep him though did they. As I said, let’s hope it works out.
Fingers crossed he's actually good.
He is a very good option for around 3 years.
Sweet.
Did not see this coming.
Did not see this coming.
More importantly, that suggestions some were making how United can no longer attract world class players were ridiculous.
1.5 years older than Fabinho and people acting like he’s ready to retire.
Please go away you miserable fecker

If we're being honest, £70m for a 30 year old is madness. Reeks of desperation.
