He seems to be saying/implying he chose to stay at Villa rather than the move falling through because MU signed Lammens.
I don't believe that tbh.
Neither do I, but I do still think the most likely scenario was that he was informed at some point that he was one of our most highly-priced assets that we were looking to cash in on due to financial factors, and that the real impetus for the move didn't come from him until he felt that we'd already factored him in as sold.
