3 transfer deals that shouldn't have happened this summer

Manchester United v Leicester City - Premier League
The Brazilian doesn't look comfortable at the Old Trafford.

After a disappointing world-cup performance, the Brazilian national side had a lot to deal with. Given the fact that they were one of the favourites to win the tournament, the Selecaos have a lot to do to recover. In the midst, though, a box to box midfielder was chosen by none other than Jose Mourinho to join his squad of rag-tags all the way in England. Manchester United signed the Brazilian midfielder for a sum of £52million, and upon his arrival? Well, the Red Devils haven't really been able to capitalize.

He is often considered as one of the most resilient central midfielders in the world, but on the contrary he hasn't been able to fit in the plans of Mourinho, as we'd like him to. His playing style looks completely different from that of the Portuguese manager. Only if another club could get his signature, where he'd be able to play his part well, he'd be a success as of now.
