oh yeah, the cringe is real. But it's another confirmation of a done deal and I think Pogba was vital in convincing Lukaku.
at the end of the day, I'm extremely happy with the deal. Also because Woodward managed to give the finger to both Real and Chelsea in one swift movement ... Real thought Morata was Uniteds only option and therefore gambled on the fee, Chelsea thought they had no competition for Lukaku and therefore gambled on the fee. Then Woodward sweeps in and shafts both clubs. The man has received quite a bit of stick over the years, but he played this beautifully.
Rooney going the other way should also be official later today.
