You’d have thought they’d have learned after the Sanchez saga…..I think we actually turned them down initially (to pursue Kane). But because the timeframe between Ronaldo wanting to leave, and Kane announcing his stay was pretty short, we had just enough time to change our mind. Coupled with there seemed to barely any competition.
By the time United turned their heads, we had already agreed a deal with Mendes/Ronaldo.
But in the general, you got the gist of it. Seemed like United wants him just because they don't want us to have him.
