Manchester United Transfer News: Red Devils Are Reason for Bumper Deadline

Sir Alex Ferguson should feel emboldened at the moment. The deadline was a beautiful mess, as transfers came pouring all over England, and it was all thanks to Manchester United. 

For years, the top of the Premiership table has been a fine collection of several powers. When one gets too big for their britches, spending throughout the countryside takes place. 

For several months, Manchester United moved into a very rare place in the EPL. It is abundantly clear that it is the Red Devils and then everyone else.

The Devils are the closest to perfection a side can be. They are a blend of youth and wisdom that will once again challenge for the Champions League title. With a roster as deep as theirs, they very well might win it all. 

They cut down a dreadful Arsenal side on Sunday, 8-2. That humiliation spurned Arsenal to step up their game on the transfer market. 

It concluded with a couple of frantic days that saw Arsene Wenger sign Chu Young Park and Werder Bremen's Per Mertesacker as well as fullback Andre Santos.

In a swift motion, most of the problem areas had been addressed. Then came the steal of the day. Wenger signed Mikel Arteta, signaling a return to the top flight for the Gunners.

Chelsea were not done spending money, even after seeing their new toy, Juan Mata, score this past weekend. The Blues dipped into their pockets and signed Liverpool midfielder Raul Meireles. 

The greatest moment was the stunning move that saw Owen Hargreaves move his stuff from one Manchester to another. The United player was willing to play for free, but he ended the day with City. 

It seems the derby rivals are not content to just beat the Red Devils—they want to really stick it to them.

Manchester United stayed pat on a football holiday of sorts, but that is only because a successful summer saw them fill their coffers.

The deadline was the last moment for the rest of the giants to answer, and they did. Hold your head up, Sir Alex, you created quite the fiasco.

And football fans across the world thank you.
