Calls for a top class midfielder could be heard and well, what do ya know; we signed one. Fergie has managed to sign one of the best midfielders of the last 10 years, a player who has the most impressive passing range of (in my opinion) anyone on the planet.
He has signed my favourite player, the one and only Paul Scholes. Not who everyone was hoping for but I feel he was our best player for the first 10-15 games of last season and that he retired too soon. I am so glad that I get to see him play again and I was over-the-moon when the announcement was made on Derby day.
I hope he can stay fit and get his fitness back quickly so that he can continue to help us out in this injury crisis. It's comforting for me to think that he is in and around young Tom Cleverley and Pogba during training as they are now once again, learning from the best.
Here's how the weeks' tranfer stories have broken according to Skysportsnews in reverse chronological order.
