The dust had hardly settled on the controversial Saudi Arabian-backed takeover of Newcastle and the North East club were already making better transfer decisions than Manchester United. The signing of Bruno Guimaraes in January was a masterstroke.
It didn't take long for Guimaraes to show he would improve most Premier League sides. The Brazilian made a flawless transition to England and he's encapsulated quality, confidence and composure since. Guimaraes has been levels ahead of the opposition when he's played. He's almost the complete midfielder and it's difficult to understand why United didn't move for him four months ago.
Guimaraes is everything United need in midfield. He could have played his part in a midfield three at Old Trafford alongside Bruno Fernandes and a defensive midfielder, who United will sign this summer, but he was lured to St. James Park instead.
