Mircea Lucescu (former Shakhtar manager):
“I’m really pleased Fred has completed his transfer to Manchester United, I am proud of him.”
Many clubs will be annoyed when their best players are sold, but Shaktar seems to be happy for them.
Happy that they can find good unknown players, develop them, and sell for a good profit.
Seems like they have found a place they're happy to be in, in European football. I like that.
While still playing in CL pretty much every season, they must be quite wealthy.
Uh, this is going to go on all day now. He'll be announced at 6:66pm that's 19:06 for us mere earthlings. When the stars align.
Not that what you're saying isn't true but this is his former manager speaking, so it's not on behalf of the club, it's being proud of how his former player developed.
Announce Fred.
We have to wait till he is at least 29 to announce it. 5th March 2022.
This better be the right Fred we're signing.
*well....I hope he has, otherwise he'll be exhausted by December.
Are you suggesting that our coaches are saying to our attackers, "Only Jesse Lingard is allowed to move a lot; we'd like the rest of you to stand still and do as little running as possible"?
Our best mover (over the ball) is probably LIngard. He is constantly moving and very difficult for defenders to track, without getting pulled out of position, themselves.

You basically dont know how a team works or how a manager builds a team do you?
Its hard to say,I think JM wants a mix of attack and defense but its probably being overly defensive with his set up.Maybe teams arent showing Lingard enough respect and he is able to exploit it? It could be a bit of a domino effect in that if the defense and midfield isnt functioning properly and being too defensive it is having a knock on effect to the forwards more attacking players.I always thought Sanchez created good space and movement but hasnt been functioning properly here yet.
Only when he's arsed.
When's the stock market open?
I suppose it may help them seem an attractive prospect to young south American talent
Join us, you'll play first team football in Europe, win some trophies then we'll let you go to a big club, hard to say no to
or when does it close?
It's my birthday and the Mrs has just come on so I need cheering up. Get it announced woody!
Announce Fred the Red!!
Remember when United announced Pogba in line with the NYE Stock Exchange at 1am BST.
Where's our Fred at?
Well, you also have to move from sunny Brazilto the middle of the Ukraine, not exactly the filet mignon of Europe - where it rains, snows and generally sucks to live for large parts of year (if you're a Brazilian I mean).
Could the delay be due to us making a double announcement?
Don't worry guys the signing will be announced shortly. bite
Surely from a business perspective two single announcements would be better since that would mean we are being talked about on social media for longer.
Happy birthday man. There's always another option, mate.
Shame
What delay?
I can only remember having watched Fred 5-6 times total, but he's different to Pogba. Pogba eats up the ground because of his long strides and he uses his physicality and strength to often shield the ball from defenders and create separation from them.
Fred is much quicker in the first few yards with superior burst over short spaces. He's also more agile than any CM at our disposal currently. Fred, unlike Pogba, is also quicker in his decision making, whereas Pogba likes to hold the ball and survey the landscape ahead of him before making a choice.
IMO Fred's skills are ideally suited to allow Pogba to play further up the pitch in possession and speed up our build up play. Whether or not he can make the step up to make his talents come to bear in the Premier League I'm not sure, but I do like the type of CM he is stylistically. I also think regardless of whether or not it frees up and improves Pogba, he fits the type of CM we needed.
Triple announcement with Fellaini's extension being the third one
When the River runs red, take the dirt track instead...
They reckon it's all done already:

One last post before the announcement
I'd imagine it's signed at sealed and he is posing for pics and doing the Twitter video tbf.
What time do you think it will be announced today?
You’re required by law to get a gobby on your birthday though, so what’s the problem?
Sex O'Clock
