Is that defo what happened?

Would be less embarrassing a story than "he chose Chelsea over us".

I have no idea, like.

Apparently they were haggling over the fine details of it for ages in a very Everton like manner. Instead Chelsea just came in and said what is his buyout clause, ok here is the money up front.

The delay had also caused Pedro to reconsider whether they were that serious about him anyway (in Utd terms his clause wasn't that expensive) and talking to Valdes/de Gea had made him less keen to work with LVG.

So a bit of both really but they gave Pedro time to reconsider by their faffing around.
 

Rai Sport understand Zenit have rejected a €26M bid from Tottenham Hotspur for Axel Witsel.

@GFN_France: Manchester United make 2nd offer for Anthony Martial worth €55m, but Monaco reject, according to @PierreMenes http://t.co/Z17llHhI82

@DuckerTheTimes: [1] Can't get my head round the #mufc move for Martial. £36m + for a raw 19 year old with 61 senior apps to his name at time when they need
@DuckerTheTimes: [2] an experienced striker and have already signed one raw young forward in Depay this summer is hard to fathom
@DuckerTheTimes: [3] If Martial, like Depay, ends up delivering on the potential many in France say he has then Utd will be delighted but it just seems the
@DuckerTheTimes: [4] the wrong player/age profile etc at a time when the need for a more proven commodity in that position is pressing

Ducker can say what he wants, we're going to get pelted whatever we do. There are no experienced strikers out there worth going for, the best i can see is someone like Higuain who the Napoli chairman will demand 50M for and I'm not convinced is better then Rooney at all. Or we could have stumped up £32M for Benteke. The likes of Lewandowski, Benzema are impossible to get as Arsenal have also found out.

Martial is a big prospect who we've been scouting since he was 14. Apparently Barca have started sniffing around which may have caused us to act now.

Martial whilst a very good player is never worth that much. Smacks of panic buying.

If you wanted Benzema you could have dangled De Gea in front of Perez. He'd probably have been more amenable to that....swapping one pet poodle for another.

Benzema is supposed to be available but Real want £50m+, he's not worth that either. Then again I'm tight and think no player is worth more than £25m

If that deal goes through,it could lead to Bruce leaving. He's already complained about lack of signings, they lost out on Andre Gray,Hernandez is crap and Akpom is not experienced enough to lead the line for an entire season.

I'm totally convinced. That Rooney is better.
