The English transfer window closed on Thursday and the Spanish one on Friday, but Manchester United fans got news of an unexpected switch on Saturday.

It was then that the club's Twitter account broke the news that the highly-rated 21-year-old Brazil youth international Andreas Pereira had left for a loan spell at La Liga side Valencia , departing for a second stint in Spain in two seasons after previously playing for Granada.

Pereira is well liked by the majority of the United fanbase, and after being given the No. 15 shirt for this season he featured heavily in the club's pre-season tour of the United States.

But now he's heading the Mestalla to continue his development at Valencia, and that's left plenty of United fans upset.

They'd wanted to see him in the Red Devils' side this season, and there was one particular player that featured in their reaction.

Sorry, Jesse.
