On Tuesday, Bayern Munich completed the transfer of 18-year-old Portugal international and big Manchester United target Renato Sanches from Benfica for £27.6 million plus performance related bonus.
Not surprisingly, United fans took it out on Twitter to vent their disappointment:
Take note, Man Utd, that’s how you conduct transfer business.
Mats Hummels and Renato Sanches sign for Bayern Munich on the same day. Ooft!

Forget about different theories, under current circumstances, a player would prefer Bayern Munich to Manchester United. #RenatoSanches — RK (@RK_sports) 10 mei 2016
Manchester United opted not to sign Renato Sanches even though they were close. [di marzio] #MUFC
