CR has been on the blower apparently.

Trouble is, if they blow all the budget on him & Sancho what will happen about defence and midfield?

pretty much. unless he learns to play CB or learn to cross

I reckon if United wins a trophy or two then he'll get a call up regardless

Yh he is and ppl wanna compare him to the fraud kdb who never shows up in major games.

As a Newcastle fan my biggest moments I can think of in football that I loved.

That prick Everton goalie giving it the big one but losing to us.

Man U beating Bayern. Never gave up.

Liverpool winning the title again.

Leicester. Say no more, friends. Danish friends.

Sunderland on Netflix.

Pogba was definitely France's best player in the euros this year

Probably. Taxi for Varane tho. Feel like he's frauding a little but can work at United by simply being better than lindelof.

£73mil for Sancho agreed fee

Sanchoooooooo

he's not enough. And should have got him last season.

Replace McFred. And Lindesoft (cos he's soft as ****).

Getting Varane and a strong box to box mid would be a good window.

And also replace the manager - Ole isn't good enough. A competent manager would have beaten Villareal in the final. I agree with a lot of Youtubers on Ole, like Rants and Bants, Football Terrace, etc. He's a bum and can only take United so far.

Reports of Pogba joining the PSG project.

I say good, so long as we spend the money.

Reply 115

With the amount of money being spent.. surely Man Utd have to be title challengers next season?

Also saw that OGS got an extension to his contract. From the outside I think it's quite amusing.

Reply 116

Only 2 actual purchases, one of which was delayed from last year.
Without them we would barely be top 4 contenders

Reply 117

Varane's a pretty good buy right? can't say I watch Madrid or France enough to really give an educated insight!

Reply 118

Yeah I actually need some independent analysis of how Varane has been this year - not a good season for Real and he was often beside Ramos - didn’t look great in the CL.

Logically I guess we would want a quick cover defender as Maguire goes forward (a better non crazy Bailly)

I’ll see what I can dig out from Tifo and Athletic but if someone follows La Liga and can let us know about Varanes performance, please tag

Reply 119

he's not as good as people thought he'd become but he's far better than anyone you have other than Maguire in a nutshell and he covers Maguire's deficiencies well in that he can cover him for pace so you can play a higher line in games if need be. Wan Bissaka and Varane have the pace to cover.

that alone is enough reason for it to be a really good signing for you lot, especially at 40M.
