Hull City v Manchester United - Premier League — Ed Woodward - Man Utd's Executive Vice Chairman

#5 Jerome Boateng

Celtic FC v Bayern Muenchen - UEFA Champions League — Injuries haven't been fair on him

Another Bayern player? United have not had their fair share of luck with Bayern players over the years, consider Owen Hargreaves and Bastian Schweinsteiger. This transfer is another one that was not likely to come to fruition.

Boateng is a player that has been around for a while, and he has played at the highest level - meaning he is well experienced.

His injury record over the past season has been dire. Take last season for example, he was absent for over 20 weeks of action due to hamstring complaints. That was a stumbling block in negotiation, and United were not ready to gamble on an aging player.
