And its probably the case that United were never interested in him coming to England either.

Never heard of him

I thought the max length of a contract could only be 5 years?

Seems a stupid contract length

There's only a limited number of Basque players, hence them wanting to keep them for their entire career

Me neither. And there is nothing in hi stats, having just looked him up, that would warrant any interest from us.

yup, a bad injury away from being a complete liability.

He’s facking gash anyway!

Another example of the curious phenomenon of players getting linked to United by unquoted sources shortly before signing new deals with their existing clubs. I doubt that scientists will ever pinpoint a causal relationship in this correlation.

Yeah but the risk is still there of a new manager not wanting him and his contract needing paid ( or partly settled if he's transferred without asking to leave etc)

Very good

I've heard of him. He was one of the first black players to play for them as that club has very specific rules on who they sign. They must be Basque. It's why it took them ages to have a black player.
