Summary

After a few extra days, the season we all want to forget is finally over. Not that that means there's no news.

Matheus Cunha looks poised to become a Manchester United player, but might it be one Portuguese speaker for another with Bruno Fernandes apparently giving consideration to a hefty contract offer from Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal.

And, while the post-season tour wasn't the most eventful in the club's history, there was certainly plenty to pick through. Luckily for us, Laurie has been on location to report on a defeat and a late rally on the field as well as some interesting extracurricular happenings.
