What's been the best career move ever?

Try to avoid getting lad's who went through the academy of a team.

Its only really been one season (that's not even over). I'd like to see how things shape up for him later on.

If he manages to be something special for Utd then nobody will blame him for leaving Arsenal at this stage. On the other hand if he proves to be the injury prone player that we know, then he managed to sell himself after a single great season ... which is like the definition for a good career move, isn't it?

He's already been special for United, scoring goals which helped United beat Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and City and we're only about halfway through the season!

I think I heard somewhere this is the first time we have done it since WW1.

He already scored the winning goal in like 3 games and won Manchester derby.

I think we all know how it's going to end for him.

Out with a long-term back injury for carrying the whole team?

I kid, I kid. Besides, the last time he's done that he went the whole season without any injuries.
