How exactly is it strange? It's been mentioned on here. The press will cover more of our fans because it affects us more. Natural for people to notice it more.
Worry about what we can change not what is out of our control.

Cunha has made a surprise switch to Man U, didn't see that coming.

Think it's more shocking that Manchester united actually spent money wisely on a proven premier league player at a reasonable price

Should've been a lot more had he not held us to ransom for a low release clause. Not that I'm bitter.

Can’t blame the guy for wanting to upgrade to a club that finished a whole ONE place above the club he’s leaving.

Why are you always looking for a conspiracy?

The lure of European football I guess.
Makes a very pleasant change to see United making a positive signing on the first day of a transfer window, rather than a panic buy just as it’s about to slam shut.
I know your comment is tongue in cheek, but it’s actually refreshing to see a player who himself sees the bigger picture once in a while.

The bigger picture or the bigger wage packet?

That didn’t take long, did it?

It's true tho, he will have been able to command more money because of no European football on offer
Where as if you had champions league you could have got cheaper wages
He will be a very shrewd signing if backed up with more incomings
He will doubtless be earning a pretty penny at United, but he would hardly have been in the poorhouse wherever he ended up.
Do you not think it even remotely possible that a player can sign for a club in United’s position because they want to be a part of a project to rebuild that club after a decade of decline?

Hasn't every player signed in the past 5 years been sold that? How long before they stop believing it can just happen?
I'm sure Antony, Bruno etc were sold the dream
But all those players were signing up for European football. Cunha hasn’t done, and went on record very early on saying that he wanted to join the club regardless of whether or not they secured Champion’s League qualification.
Nobody will ever know whether previous signings were sold the project or the opportunity to play in Europe.

It will be interesting to see how Cunha goes
Very talented player and despite league positions etc Man Utd is a step up for most players so it’s not a surprise he goes there and yeah there will be a wage increase which is only natural
Wonder where the manager sees him playing - only issue that I would have is work rate and attitude but you won’t be able to get away with any strops etc at United

If there are any issues with work rate or attitude, Cunha only has to look as far as Rashford to see what the outcome will be.
I don’t think there will be too many concerns on that front.
