Por volta da viragem do século o central sportinguista Beto foi “vítima” do rumor de que estaria a caminho do Real Madrid por diversas vezes, com o caso a transformar-se (por cá) numa piada recorrente.
Ora parece que o benfiquista Nicolas Gaitán é o “Beto” dos adeptos do Manchester United, como é possível constatar pelas reacções bem-dispostas à (enésima) notícia dando conta que o argentino assinará, neste defeso, pelos “red devils“, um rumor que, pelas contas atentas dos adeptos ingleses, se iniciou em 2012 repetindo-se por diversas ocasiões.
Eis alguns exemplos das reacções que se vão multiplicando do lado de lá do Canal da Mancha.

Gaitan should definitely play for us at Wes Sneijder’s testimonial.

Oh it's THIS guy! Every year Gaitan is a done deal according to him. Nothing to see here. Carry on with your day. https://t.co/ZS4FTZGdHA

No silly season is complete before Man United have signed Sneijder, Gaitan and/or Garay. Preferably multiple times.
