We dithered too long on UpamecanoIf we come out of this transfer without a CB or RW, the two positions we desperately needed to improve then whoever is responsible should never be forgiven by the fans.
It's a complete disgrace that a club the size of Manchester United has been reduced to haggling over £2-3m, missing out on big names and only being able to loan out our dead wood.
This goes a lot higher than Ole, any previous manager or any future manager we could get.
Yep 5 summers too late...£1.5m...We dithered too long on Upamecano

Ibrahimovic was brought in prior to our supposed 'cultural shift', under another manager with very distinct objectives from those we're apparently pursuing now. Aware of our recent history regarding 'experienced' players - don't think it's relevant to say 'we've done it before and it was ok' given the context was different in these cases. What has changed - Cavani was a free agent months ago? Why fill the deadline day vacuum with his transfer? Feels like misdirection. What does 'class is permanent' mean exactly? Class like Falcao, Di Maria, Schweinsteiger?We brought in a non mobile unproven in PL player at age of 35 called Ibrahimovic and he was awesome. Anyway theres always that myopic PL angle of can player x cut it in the PL. Class is permanent.
Cavani is 33, he's still quick for his age, likes to break the offside trap which will suit us and ole style of play. He can play off the wings as a wide forward as he did at psg when swapping positions with Mbappe and Neymar. Hes vastly experienced player which can only help our young forwards; rashford, martial and greenwood. Hes a winner, top pro who looks after himself physically and a strong personality, which we need in the dressing room.
His wages are inside our current wage structure. Hes better than ighalo by a huge margin. I have no issue with bringing experienced players in, fergie did that with blanc, larsson etc. Ole wanted a forward so i think this is his call.
This is one of the best deals in entire window.Tweet

Looks like Arsenal are getting the Partey deal over the line.

The last eight years have been entirely devoted to desperation and poor planning. Why should this window be any different - it is the Manchester United way.This whole transfer window smells of desperation and poor planning. I feel bad for Ole' as Ed would rather park his ass in he stands instead of handling business. Its a shame....
Sad when he tightens up security around his home rather than work on signings for us.... just a shame!
He'll be delighted. The prospect of playing with Shaw, AWB and Bailly/Maguire must have been terrifying.Tweet

Unfortunately, it broke down...Wow. Big deal that. Could have a big part to play in the top 4 race.

Sometimes I feel that other clubs play games with us and stall on our deals. There is no way it should have taken this long for Chris to leave.... Just seems odd.Tweet

Well that almost guarantees Arsenal will over take us. Another reasonably priced, obvious deal we have ignored.Tweet

Glad it's done. Happy for Smalling and the less unhappy/ unused players we have milling about the place the better.Tweet

Matic would have been his back up.He was never going to sign up to be Matic back up and also a bench player.
As crazy as this sounds United can't sign every player on the planet.
How many midfielders is too many for us?Well that almost guarantees Arsenal will over take us. Another reasonably priced, obvious deal we have ignored.
Time we backed Barca into oneRoma backed us into a corner.
Do you not think we need an upgrade on Matic?How many midfielders is too many for us?
