Sorry but if I was a United fan (and especially a United shareholder) I'd be asking why the hell Man United, the richest club in the world (well, actually I guess that's debateable with Abramovich now, but still) would do something like that? Unless they were trying to bully PSV into taking less money or something...
It's what United always do, they try and unsettle players so that the club have to sell the player to them, and they thought that by bidding high, and being able to speak to Robben, that they would then be able to bid low, once Robben has his heart set on them, hoping that Robben would get annoyed if PSV didn't sell him, and then get pissed off at PSV, which would force them to sell him.

By george I've cracked it.
