Manchester United have signed striker Diego Costa from Atlético Madrid on a five-year deal for a fee of about £21million.

The 24 year old, who has stated that he will be working overtime to get a spot in the Brazilian team for the 2014 World Cup, was told that he would be a key player in Key's Manchester United side.

"This is the first of many signings in this window!" manager Tyler Key told the club website, "We will definitely be looking to delve further into the transfer market!"

Costa decided that he was unhappy with the way that Diego Simeone was running the club. He stated that Simeone used a lone striker and favoured David Villa which meant that Costa would not get the game-time he needed, coming close to the World Cup. As it stands, he currently has no caps for his National Team.

"He was calling out for a new club, and as it happened, we needed a striker!" Key told press, "I am delighted that Costa became available to us. He is a great player with tons of potential and I believe that he can become a legend at Manchester United!"

Costa started his career at Braga in Portugal, before moving to Penafiel, and then Atlético Madrid. Since joining Los Rojiblancos, he has gone on loan to Celta Vigo, Albecete and Rayo Vallecano. Joining Manchester United, Diego Costa has started a new chapter in his career.
Great signing, Costa is a quality player. He'll be scoring goals for fun;)
Nice signing :) hope he scores loads of goals
I hope he scores for fun for you big pricetag

Manchester United have confirmed the signing of Swiss winger, Xherdan Shaqiri

Shaqiri has agreed on personal details with Manchester United and will be travelling to Old Trafford today for his first training session.

The 21 year-old has agreed on a five-year contract, reportedly earning around £88k p/w. He signed for a fee in the area of £22million.

Bayern Munich were desperate to hold on to their wonderkid, but Shaqiri stated that he wanted to play in England.

"Manchester United ist ein großer Klub mit einer großen Geschichte. Ich liebe München, sondern eine Bewegung, in der Premier League zu spielen, kann nicht nach unten in meinen Augen eingeschaltet sein!(Manchester United are a great club with a massive history. I love Munich but a move to play in the Premier League, can not be turned down in my eyes!)" Shaqiri told Sky Sports, "Ich wünschte, Bayern München auf ihren Reisen gut und hoffe, dass sie mich vermissen Sie nicht zu viel! Groß sind meine neuen Club jetzt und ihr Erfolg ist meine Priorität!(I wish Bayern Munich well on their travels and hope they don't miss me too much! United are my new club now and their success is my priority!)"

Third signing; Lorenzo Insigne also joins Manchester United for £15million.

United manager, Tyler Key also gained a second winger by the name of Lorenzo Insigne.

Insigne joined on a three-year contract, earning a wage in the area of £27k p/w. He agreed on personal terms and had his medical at Old Trafford on Monday night.

Napoli manager, Rafael Benitez stated that it wasn't easy letting Insigne go, but money talks.

Key has a different view, saying that he thinks £15million is a bargain,

"I'm very pleased with the signing of Lorenzo [Insigne]! I believe that he can become a world class player in the future and I can't wait for him to grow with the club!"

The United boss was asked by the press whether this marked the end of his movements in the transfer market.

"Oh god no! We haven't strengthened all of the team yet! There is no doubt that I will be buying more players, after all we still have money in the bank!"
Three excellent signings in Costa, Shaqiri and Insigne :)
Some very good signings. I'm sure they'll play well for you

Manchester United make final signings


United have made their last moves of the window, signing two central midfielders.

Manager, Tyler Key has made, what he stated to be, his last signings. Milan Badelj joins the club from German side, Hamburger SV for a fee of £12million.

The 24 year-old Croatian accepted a four-year contract on £52k per week. Speaking to the club website, Key said,

"Milan [Badelj] is a great player and it surprises me that no other big clubs were in for him. The lad works really hard from what I've seen of him in training. I was always going to buy at least one central midfielder this window, it's a position that really needs strengthening in the side."

"He's still young at 20 and I hope that one day he will grow to be the next Paul Scholes or Roy Keane, even if he isn't British!"

Key also signed a second midfielder, 26 year-old German, Sami Khedira on a four-contract. His contract, in which he earns £56k a week, will keep him at the club until he is thirty. Tyler Key, however, hints that he could be staying longer.

"He's experienced and he's not old. That's the best way to sum up Khedira. He has bags of talent and can play in that central midfield position really well. He's been around for a while it seems, yet I can still get many years out of him. He's a player that I want to retire at the club!"

"Yes, this probably does mark the end of my movement in this window. We are out of cash, and the only way that we can buy someone, is if we sell first. There are more people that I want to sell, but I don't think that I can get it done in this window!"
Great signings!
Great signings, I'm sure they'll help you a lot!
Great signings! Khedira it's a player that Manchester really needs irl!
Josh - I hope so!
Jonte - Thanks
Cosmin - Hopefully!
AAN - I know, at the end of the day we just need midfielders!

Key - 'We can win the league!'

Manchester United manager, Tyler Key said that the Red Devils can win the league

In a press conference Key was asked who he thought would win the league.

"Manchester United! Yes, there is many teams in the league that won't go down without a fight, but we have enough fight in us. We can fend off the opposition. We can beat the likes of Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal. I have strengthened the team to the best of my abilities and we now have a squad that can lift the title. It won't be easy, but Manchester United will win the Premier League!"

Manchester United have made five signings so far this season, spending a grand total of £85million pounds.

Key will have to prove that he can win games in the upcoming month, which includes the Community Shield against Wigan Athletic. A team that Key described as 'unworthy opposition that would be crushed under the weight of United's quality'. Strong words from the Red Devils boss, but he'll have to perform well this season or else he may eat his words!
