I'm guessing/hoping the media are including his signing on bonus.
Seems so, after seeing rumours of what they're offering I can't blame him going for a big last contract.
Problem I have with this is that Man Utd don't exactly have the best record of assimilating new signings into the side in the last 6 years - now admittedly it may be different with OGS but that isn't a given.yh looks like he is part of a big clear out of sorts
Frasser is a midfielder and an attacking one at that. Young is a full back. Not a fair comparison at all.![]()
A realistic upgrade or not good enough?

2 - It really isn't a headache Utd need this summer - difficult enough to get the other players we already need without adding to it (and its not like it would have to be a 3 or 4 year contract anyway - it was just too little too late from Utd/ board pov
3) This season he was being talked about as a prospective club captain - and it wouldn't have been a bad choice imo (admittedly only likely for a couple of seasons, but he would be a lot better than Young / Valencia in the last year or so).
Already have to replace Matic as a matter of urgency now to add Herrera to that as well ….and that's without thinking about the incoming headache of Pogba and DDG's contracts -admittedly the latter is far more important despite his glaring errors throughout this season , compared to his heroics over the last 6+ seasons they are insignificant how ever much they hurt right now).
One headache too much imo
the player that used Utd last summer to get an ext / no thanks (from what Ive read Utd had a private plane waiting for him, only for him not to turn up last summer)Diego Godín would improve our defence by miles and his contract is running out
