    He's here, people! Weird nobody's said anything about it yet. Hopefully worth the wait?

    what is "pressures" from the rose graph there? pressing?

    didn't know he was a former winger until recently. hopefully that helps his offensive output increase significantly

    Announcing it during the glazer out protests is a curious move. Both he and DJ sound genuinely excited to be part of United. I’m looking forward to see how they get on.

    The emphasis this summer for me, was not just to get players with talent. But they also needed to be guys with solid characters, which we clearly have been lacking at the club for some time.
    AWB does not look like a charismatic, leader type but he seems focused and hardworking. And as noted, he's another player who genuinely seems to be happy to be at the club.

    It's a decent signing. But, it's a rb. And one more astute defensively than offensively at that. Hard to get excited.

    I wish him luck.

    I am very happy with the signing. No baggage, got his mental piece right. We need defensive power and he brings that. Young was a liability not an asset. A step in the right direction.

    Signing gets a 8.

    Few random thoughts;

    - proven in this league against this leagues attackers (provided last season wasnt a one off - but he clearly has the tools)

    - Valencia gone and we need to keep Young out the side, so getting a RB was a need rather than a want

    - his age means he should be with us for a long time, happy when we are solving with long-term solutions rather than age 27+ players

    - he was a consistent performer with great defensive numbers, consistency is key in defensive positions

    - some questions over him going forward at this stage

    - Dalot showed promise going forward but had some flaws defensively, so interesting what it means for him or who will get most minutes

    Feel good about the signing, however if AWB can be a solid RB we need to back this signing up with a proper threat at RWF to make that flank work or we are still massively unbalanced.

    Also with Lindelof, Shaw and now AWB we still need to back this signing up with a commanding CB to complete our starter quality back four.

    We also need a proper mobile #6 so the full-backs can be properly unlocked.

    So the success of this signing will still depend on other signings for me, but will also give it an 8 :)

    I want us to start next season with Shaw Lindelof Bailly AWB at the back.

    Defensively an 8/9. For our attack, a 6.

    Might be optimistic but I hope Dalot and AWB can teach each other a lot about each other's strengths and help each other improve, whether it's collaboratively or in competition against each other for the starting spot.

    or maybe they can fusion dance like Gotenks and become Bissalot/Dassaka.

    i wonder if part of this signing and bigger trend of young & British is due (at least partly) to this Pogba thing and targeting players that will be more loyal and stay. in terms of quality that pool just isn't impressive

    Not impressive in depth but there's clearly some good talent to be picked out, or to develop from our existing YT ranks.

    It's definitely about the Pogba thing, as well as Brexit and the general aging of the squad. The moves Nicky Butt has been making is essentially hoarding before a potential No Deal makes signing young foreign talent an utter nightmare, we're obviously banking on concessions for players signed before the UK finally leaves.

    Good signing but we really have to hope he develops his offensive game and can learn to stay wide instead of cutting in.

    The bigger question is what this does for Dalot long term. He's not good enough going forward or bad enough defensively to move him to RW.

    We finally have a proper challenger to Darmian for worst facial hair at the club.

    Darmian, our invisible defender.it's sad that whenever we talk about our defense good or bad we never mention him.it's like he has been forgotten by our club and fans alike.

    He's served his purpose at the club. Time to sell him.
