You wonder how they get their images. I don't blame someone for not knowing the difference between lukaku or stormzy, despite how people react it doesn't have to be a race thing. I don't think I would know which one was which. Ive never paid attention to stormzy so wouldn't know what he looked like and I don't think I could pick out lukaku out of a line up as again I've hardly paid any attention to him either.

You might not know what either of them look like, but I bet you would know how to use Google and find out.

A national newspaper really ought to be able to fact check a very simple thing like a photo.

I agree it's probably not a race thing (I'm not familiar with the Herald so they might be seething racists for all I know!) but it's really strawberry floating stupid and amateurish.

Our new kit comes with white shorts and white hoods with eyeholes.

A Tory MP is currently on the way to your training ground with a woodpile.

To be honest, I thought Everton and Wayne Rooney handled the transfer really well. Compare to United and Lukaku, it's frustrating and they need to announce him officially. As we know he's coming to United anyway.

This is what I meant in regards to how they get their photos. If you Google image search lukaku it doesn't come up with a picture of stormzy, well not in the first hundred or so photos anyway.

2 more signings (midfielder and a wideboy) and it'll have been a top transfer window (again) for United. Woody seems to have got more a handle on this business these days.

At last, welcome to United!

Sounds like Perisic is still potentially a goer

Be surprised if Chelsea would sell Matic now, but apparently that deal was only going to happen after they signed Bakayoko. Now there's rumours that transfer is dragging and United could make a move.

[PurplePenguin]

We've signed Stormzy on a five year contract.

The only player we've been regularly linked with this summer I'm not keen on us signing is Perisic. I don't watch alot of Italian football though maybe he's a decent buy.

Yeah I'm the same. I'm not keen on Persic but I don't know if he's any good and I haven't seen him playing in the Italian league.

[Mafro]

I've seen bugger all of him but 100% trust Mourinho's player judgement going by last year's transfers.

[Denster]

He's a good player from what i've heard.

What do fellow Reds think of Dier? A lot of talk about that as Matic is unlikely now it seems Chelsea might be a reluctant to do business.

[Mafro]

I like Dier as a DM, but Levy being a banana split + Man United tax + English player tax would mean he'd probably cost at least £50m

[Preezy]

Not a fan of Dier, he struggles to get in the that Spurs team when it's at full strength. Plus you'd pay through the nose to get him out of there with Levy sitting on the throne. Would rather Jose give Fosuh-Mensah a shot.

Played a lot at CB for the first team in a 3-4-3 last season didn't he? He was good as a DM the season before too. Can see why Mourinho is interested if he want's to play 3 at the back more.

[Photek]

Dier by name....

(I really don't rate him)

[Lotus]

Who the strawberry float is Stormzy?

And Swansea turned down £40m for Sigurdsson?

Considering how important he is to us, I'm glad we're holding firm and asking for £50m. Which is overinflated for sure but we don't need or want to sell.

I'm not convinced the £40m bid from Leicester is true though. Could be the club putting pressure on Everton to up their bid.

So James Rodriguez is going to Bayern on a 2 year loan deal.
