Chelsea, was in their academy. He didn't see a path for himself in the first team with the rise of Reece James so asked to leave. 6 million pounds, great deal for Brighton.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
He also had 6 months on his contract so we didn't want to lose him for nothing.
Sad but I totally understand his decision and hope he kills it at Brighton.
England seem to have a load of great fullbacks coming through, although their youth ranks seem stacked in general
Trossard has got a great strike on him.
Forgot to mention that. Definitely not Chelsea's fault, you have an embarrassment of riches in your academy so sometimes it's best for a player's career to cut them loose.
Ok Dunk, slam it in!
Do I have to get my coat, it is summer time!

Just thought I’d point out again, in real time, that even aside from goals, Firmino is once again doing barely anything for Liverpool, and aside from scoring, Salah is again far outperforming him.
Not replacing firmino could cost them next season. Not that I want them to sign but a player like Harvetz would be a top addition.
That's the worst miss of the season.
You just don't understand his role...
Liverpool look suspect as hell defensively.
I see the Liverpool luck with players in front of their goal is still alive and well
Did they sub Burn off yet? That was an awful miss.
So I hear!
interesting, I thought he played in Germany for some reason.
The truth will hurt klopp lovers but their playing style this season has been dire. Of course the history will say they were an exciting side but this season they are far from exciting. Efficient yes but exciting no. Reminds me a lot of chelsea under jose during his first stint but with less command in defense.
Would be interesting to see what Potter could do with some talented players. Getting this lot to play decent football is a hell of an achievement by him. Honestly thought they'd get relegated for it. Spurs should give him a try after they get tired of the washed up one.
Yeah they are very risk averse. However comparing them to Chelsea is pushing it. More like our sides post Ronaldo.
I know they are the champions but gotta ask, what does Firmino add to this team?
They were simliar last season, could count on one hand the amount of times their style of play wasn't boring to watch.
They were somewhat more fluent in their play last season (yes their 0-0 against us st old Trafford was a boring match). This season their play just have looked pretty dull.
Have Liverpool beaten our crosses record yet? They seem to be gunning for it every game.
Wooow, Brighton "crowd" singing YAWN. Tv off.
Looks like Salah wants his golden boot.
Honestly that chelsea side is somewhat underrated. They were one tough side to beat and in those 2 season used to win matches efficiently. I thought we were pretty good to watch in 2009-10 season but were unfortunate to not win the title. Far from boring. 2010-11 yes we played tumescent football but still were able to dominate teams once in a while , I don't see that with this Pool side.
He’s a con artist.
They were a great side but very short on entertainment. Half the time they didn't even play to score. Pool dominate plenty of matches, just they way they do it is off putting. More than we did from 2010-2011 onwards anways. Not sure what we expected cause we sometimes had Park, Hernandez and Valencia on the pitch at the same time. Throw some Fletcher in there and the fantasy goes out the window in a hurry. Remember how everyone used to say that this definitely isn't vintage United? That's what this Pool team is.
He's turned in a solid 0/10 performance tonight.
Has to be said, it's harder to carve a turkey than it is to cut through this Liverpool defence. The Liverpool fans can tell me how good Gomez is until they're blue in the face but I'm not 100% convinced by him.
Why do clubs hate scoring against Liverpool?
Gomez resembling a mannequin tonight. Getting turned inside out on the regular.
Said it before but worth repeating: he’s the most overrated defender in the league.

I mean he has the worse stats, what Firmino provides that a (insert any other midtable forward) doesn't?
Mane, VVD, Salah, TAA aside this Liverpool team aint that much.
He's certainly not as good as Matip.
Half the time Van Djik seems confused by his antics.
Am starting to buy in to your theory about him, and I rated him before. No matter what his role is supposed to be, his lack of contribution in an attacking sense isn’t acceptable.
Many players over the years have acted as foils (Benzema, Rooney etc...) and still made sizeable contributions to a teams output.
I think you are on to something here.
Stop saying assists, you scouse cnut. My dog's looking for her squeaky toy.
Firmino plays like this regularly, but just like tonight, they usually win anyway, so nobody even notices. They DO notice when he does something useful, then lazily assume that this is what he’d been doing all along when he wasn’t on the scoresheet, and then proceed to call him ‘underrated’ as a result.
I don't think Firmino is world class but he's obviously a good player in Liverpools system and always gets 15+ goals and assists in the PL since he's been at Liverpool which is a healthy return overall. He definitely should score more though and he's been poor this season when they've won the title. His best personal season at the club they came 4th.
