Yup.. United bound.
I don't understand how half of the 250 pages are cafe non-believers lamenting Barca, then PSG then Juve signing him. Why do the miserable twirps even bother coming into this thread,? Plenty of United downer threads.

Wouldnt be surprised if we throw a curveball in here for Juventus. Offer Ajax 80 million. If we can't have him, nobody should 
I still don’t understand why he would want to go to Juve. What’s the allure?
Biggest club in Italy, guaranteed to win some cups and titles, playing together with some of the world's best players, beautiful country and possibly even winning the CL. What's not to like? I've never liked Juve, but they have things going for them at the moment.
Wasn't the deal supposed to be done by 1st July as per Di Marzio. The thing is every journo who knows anything is quiet (Stone and Peach) and only the guys in the dark are shooting arrows thinking one will hit the target.
He's United bound, you can feel it

Juve have always been one of the top 5/6 european clubs. Add to that, living besides the Italian lakes beats Alderley Edge hands down.
Fergie couldn't attract players to leave the north of Italy for rainy Manchester, United have absolutely no chance of competing with Juve for players , they are also backed by a very rich family.
We have to be realistic and aim for top talent that is not in the cross hairs of the top 5/6 clubs in europe. There are many excellent players who fit this description, and it sounds like Ole and the staff are concentrating on them.
Wanna insert 'wtf' gif here
He is being taken for a ride. But we clearly dont want him he isnt British.
I am joking.
I am joking.
Be so annoying if they get him for a reasonable price, which I'd say anything around 80m is for someone with so much hype at the moment, already good, and very young.
Hi Orchestra. Did you know that up until recently we were the ONLY club to place an initial bid for DeLigt? Yup. Turns out that we are all over this but the player himself may not be completely convinced because he rejected our first offer. And there you go. You are now all caught up and can rest easy that we eat least tried.
What, when did this happen?
This question seems odd, what isnt alluring about Juventus? If the Barca deal isnt happening Juventus is a fine choice.
CL every year, large wages, Chiellini is 34, Bonucci 32, plenty of game time given Chiellini's career is winding down, can pick up silverware, learn under one of the great Italian CB's. Will be the next generation of core CB's for Juventus.
You're making it sound as if Torino is a pretty city to live, when it's not the case.
I dislike that city but it's not a bad place to live either. And it's an hour and half by car to Milan
The train is quite fast too, albeit, admittedly, footballers are not likely to use it.
Turin is not bad, agreed.
I would have quoted his tweet had Fridge Chutney not spammed the transfer tweets section.What, when did this happen?
There are a few tweets that I could find quoting him:

I was losing patience and interest with this. Now i saw our name being brought up again and my inner muppet is risen
Holy shit people are just something else, fecking hell its funny, drooling for de Ligt, asking him to come to us while in the same time his agent being called fat feck w/e in Pogba thread. What do you think it will happen in few years with a player who by the reports demand a release clause from certain clubs with that same fat feck as his agent, right before entering best years. Football fans 
We're just being used like always to get Juve to hurry up I feel.
Mate i will take him and his fat agent over paying 90 fecking million pounds for SlabheadHoly shit people are just something else, fecking hell its funny, drooling for de Ligt, asking him to come to us while in the same time his agent being called fat feck w/e in Pogba thread.

Well, hope its not related tho0. Even cba when it comes to transfers, 90mil. for that would be next level stuff, when it comes to de Ligt i just found funny the whole thing.
Two possibilities
1. Ajax using pressure tactics on juve
2. Utd using pressure tactics on Leicester

Although this could all be paper talk, it seems he is trying to get a big contract with a release clause so he can leave after a couple of years when he feels he's ready for Barca. Given that he's not yet the finished article and will make mistakes, nevermind how long it might take him to adjust to the PL, I'd rather sign Maguire.
A player who wants to be here and is committed to he club long term is far more likely to succeed.
Isn't this the same as tapping up? Hope Ajax report Juve and they're kicked out of the CL, leaving us as the only sensible choice
So far... Ajax only sold De Jong and perhaps De Ligt. But how many of you said they would've lost half their team by now? Tadic, Onana, vd Beek, Tagliafico, Dolberg, Neres and maybe even Ziyech are going nowhere at the moment. Even extend their contracts. They bought Marin, Martinez, Promes and a new goalie. I expect them to be back in the quarter finals next year. Maybe De Ligt is starting to see this too
Have patience muppets and stay strong. We will win this battle
This looks like Lukaku and Morata situation where everyone thought we were getting Morata
Man what is the fat man doing? We're back in the running for de Ligt & suddenly Raiola makes clear Pogba wants out.
He's playing his best hands and trying to see if he can please both Pogba and United. I hope we give up on De Ligt OR we get both, even if it means handling a new contract to Paul.
Morata = Maguire and Lukaku = De Ligt?
Juve just announced another central defender, Merih Demiral.
Not a cat's chance in hell.
As much as he’s the best defender on the market, I just don’t want us to have any Mino clients anymore.
Not this thing again... Quote me one player who refused an offer from MUFC because of the weather.
maybe Ronaldinho? hahaha, I don't know. No one is going to put it this way, no?
