People coming at it from the angle of "oh well, stick it to Real". Come on. This is Man United here, not West Brom Albion. Hardly David vs Goliath. United was stubborn on their asking price and in the end it cost them. Case closed.

The only reason I can think of for United game-playing would be to have the ability to tell De Gea, 'hey, we tried, you're stuck here for now so you should play and play well.'
And thats a huge gamble.
