Twitter Reacts to Manchester Utd Signing Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin

Manchester United have enjoyed some memorable and iconic weekends during their 137-year history, and even though a ball wasn't kicked, the past few days may be remembered equally fondly by Red Devils fans for years to come. In addition to securing the services of defender Matteo Darmian, United officially wrapped up the signings of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin... 

The folks at The Football Republic compiled an incredible spoof trailer celebrating Ed Woodward, "The Wolf of Old Trafford." 

Predictably, this burst of transfer activity has been a source of great delight for fans of the club...

Remember when the Arsenal fans thought the signing of Schweinsteiger meant they could get Schneiderlin. Funny times.

The biggest subject among fans, however, was executive vice-chairman Woodward. Not so long ago, the man pulling the strings at the Theatre of Dreams was a figure of hatred...

I've hated Ed Woodward for most of the last few years, but the last couple weeks he's put a great shift in

Yet over the course of a few days, it appears that Woodward has risen like Lazarus from the vitriol of previously unacceptable transfer activity... 

There were endless streams of Woodward praise and memes...

The men in suits at Manchester United rarely receive anything but scorn, yet Woodward is being treated as a deity. Well, as close as an accountant can be treated to a deity...

Apparently, no player is safe from being hoovered up by Woodward during this time of supremacy...

Naturally, with Manchester United's squad gaining plenty of muscle, the conversation turned to the club's potential to be a title challenger once again. The views on this subject were mixed...

One fan, however, was extremely confident...

— Glen Harden (@glenharden) July 13, 2015"

Well, with Ed Woodward making the magic happen, why limit it to a quadruple?
