Manchester United are revelling with the addition of two star midfielders this week.
The Red Devils have secured Bastian Schweinsteiger from Bayern Munich for around £15million as well as Morgan Schneiderlin from Southampton for £25m in a double swoop that has set tongues wagging.
The arrival of the duo, as well as the capture of Italian right-back Matteo Darmian last week, certainly has United in a positive mood according to some Twitter reactions.

— Keith Gillespie (@KeithGillespie7) July 13, 2015I like the Darmian signing. Watched him a lot in planning for Italy. If he can transfer his form and settle in then he will be very good.
