I'm pretty sure it had some kind of significane (maybe meeting up with a player or agent. My point was more that I wouldn't rule out the Perisic rumours just because he didn't play.
Then again, it's probably the only opportunity he gets to watch players outside of United live. If he's travelling all the way he must have had a good reason for it other than enjoying such a shite game, not saying he necessarily was there for Perisic alone but he's probably got something up his sleeve.
A lot of the papers were writing about meeting with Predrag Mijatovic (I thought he is Serbian). But surely he knew about Perisic's unavailability. So if he prefers to watch this game over Portugal let's say, then there must be some sort of business there.
He will come and replace Martial on the left which means Martial will probably have to leave the club to seek regular football. Has some tricks and bags of pace, but his final ball is absolutely shocking looking at the clip above
Are you out of your mind? Martial will only get better and Perisic's star will be setting in a year or two. He will be struggling in the PL. I would believe it to be a back up, rather than replacement.
And all that talk of 35m, whether it's £ or €, is outrageous. Wherever Mourinho has managed he's done good business and rarely overpaying. We've done well on the transfer market last two windows. Mikhi 26m, Bailly 30m, Morgan 22£, Depay 18m (which I think is a fairly good price, considered the flop he's been). So if we are to buy Perisic, I don't think we'll pay more than 20-25.
