Is the “modern” bit where you play a player you don’t own?
We are not buying 32 years old Varane though. We are buying 28 years old Varane means he has 5-6 years to offer because Rio who also has pace in his prime could still play regularly for us until he was 34 or 35 years old.
We must sign a midfielder competent in possession.
Sorry, but I will sooner play with 10 men than see Fred or McTominay in the starting 11 again.
And you're happy to just drop Bruno?
We're buying both if he stays that long. That's why older players are worth less. I don't think this a controversial point.
Yes, his performances since January have been abysmal.
He is a hindrance to possession football if Ole continues to give him a free role in the team. If he can prove himself to play a more disciplined role, than he can go back into the team as rotation option as one of the front three.
I think that there have been a number of centre backs that justify significant salaries and star status (peak Ramos, Ferdinand, Thiago Silva, Van Dijk etc.), but I haven't seen Varane perform at that standard. The salary being suggested is very substantial, and for defence in general I think it's important that the 'unit' is more collective than individual.
I quite like Chelsea's options at the back at the moment, for instance. They have four defenders (Christensen, Zouma, Rudiger, Silva) who are realistically starters and they've just won a major competition on this foundation.
That would truly be a modern never been seen before system.
We are not buying Varane in 4 years mate, we are buying him now as 5-6 years investment.
Newbie means he hasn't been promoted doesn't it? So there's still hope?
I think you need to put down the drink and go home
My Mum, who thinks Zola still plays for Chelsea, would get promoted before him
I think Varane has told Utd he won't renew
Sounds like he’s trying to blag a new deal out of Madrid. Lot of red flags in that tweet.
I think we can safely say this is actually happening instead of the cliche of Sergio Ramos Part 2 that’s been put out everyday like it is brand new information
I think what you meant to say was big day
What’s this about?
Tomorrow’s a big day - don’t go ruining it with you negative fecking attitude
Hold me
I think Varane has told Utd he won't renew
Isn't this pretty much same information he tweeted like a week ago?
Mate really? I mean really? You would rather play with 10 men than 11 even if that includes Scott or Fred?
I don't for a second think he's haggling for a new deal personally. Just doesn't feel like that type of situation.
Hold me

choo choo! Big days ahead.
But serious Fab, stop reading the the forum 
Big Day!!!!!
He is definitely teasing United fans, I fear it’s to inflate his number of followers.But serious Fab, stop reading the the forum
Don’t let me down Fab, I’ll take back what I’ve said about you if you get this right.
If someone ask the same question then he will give the same answer but one information he just added it "Raphael Varane isn't using Manchester United's name to land a bigger contract at Real Madrid"
Hold me
Hold me
I dunno mate, feels an awful lot like Sergio Ramos redux...
all in good fun my fellow muppets
Last week was the first time that United and Real Madrid got in contact. According to Romano, this is the 2nd time that they've been in contacts.
I’m just preempting the numnuts that keep on with this nonsense despite everything pointing to the contrary.Mate stop your wumming, really!
It's only a matter of time.
What about Ramos, though? Bet you haven't considered that
Sounds like you're trying to keep calm in case he does sign a new contract with Madrid. Lot of red flags in that post.
What happened there?
So it could mean personal terms are agreed with the player and United are now back in direct contact with Madrid to negotiate a price. The earlier tweet by MEN about Varane happy to run down his contract and join United next year is complete nonsense
