Whereas Anthony Martial’s £36million deadline day move to Manchester United caught most people on the hop, it would appear that all over United’s summer transfers were centuries in the making, having been predicted by none other than Nostradamus himself.

Recognising a distinct pattern emerging in United’s transfer dealings, Reddit user GrabbingTheBrassRing had a flick through Nostradamus’s 1555 tome ‘The Prophecies’ and was astonished to find that most of the club’s key ins and outs had been foreseen some 460 years ago.

We challenge even the most sceptical among you to find fault with this empirical evidence…

Perhaps the finest of them all…

Uncanny isn’t it? Nigh-on indisputable.

Weirdly enough, it seems Arsenal’s summer transfer dealings, or lack thereof, were also predicted by a historic piece of literature too…

Great visual gag, that. Hope you appreciate it.
