By the time another rather chaotic transfer window closed on Manchester United last night, Gary Neville wasn't the only one associated with the club wondering how it had come to this.
'It's very last-minute,' said Neville in response to news of United's belated move for Edinson Cavani.
'There is an element of thrill and excitement and intrigue because he's been one of the world's best strikers.
'But there's also an element of, 'How have you ended up here?'. I don't think this was part of the plan.
