RM will just get him on a free next season then ?
Does it really matter? RM have unlimited money with never any consequences for their insane (transfer) policy/mistakes/decisions. If they really fuck up the government and the banks bail them out. Just think about it, the greatness of Spain, symbol of the nation with unlimited power/money, in a position to get 99% of the players in the world, refs in their pocket yet they are still getting owned by that anarchist club up north.
God himself could be wearing white and it still would not matter. Wether they get De Gea or not, for free or 40 mil, it doesnt matter, its just funny to see them crash and burn today and being internets laughing stock
