Remember when Frankie De Jong was chased by United and United even agreed a fee with Barcelona? I remember.

Yeah but choosing to stay at Barca and choosing to stay at Spurs are very different things.

Also United's record in the transfer market since Fergie left is abysmal. Pretty much just one saga after another of lengthy negotiations ending with either the player getting snatched by another club or United overpaying the original asking price.

Whereas Bayern operate with characteristic German efficiency in their transfer dealings.
