They've been publishing that he's on the way out all month, not expecting that to change barring divine interference from San Zidane himself 
Can’t believe Raphael Varane will be a United player soon 
This is a statement signing by United and Ole

That's a full shiny moon right there
Leave it until next Summer just in case this is the year Bailly gets a good run.
Looks like we have a very good defense next season. Now we just need a Kante and to keep Pogba and we're looking decent.
This my man. This.
Varane asking Madrid to do a deal is huge. This has to go through now.
One small step for Varane, one giant leap for United.
no excuses this season with the defense we will have. exciting times
Feck me, Jan proven wrong hours after making another confident statement shocker.
Pretty sure this confirms Varane told Madrid his decision longer than the 6 hours ago when Jan tweeted that he didnt

Arsenal-mania are convinced Ben White is the better CB
This happens and we're doing a league/CL double, quote me it. I dare ya. I bleeding dare ya.
It all depends on how big difference and how well he performs. Nobody will care if his old team was successful or not. He has to show his wort at United and show that he would be so much more valuable than the other players. It’s always a risk with big differences in salaries when the players are at the same level.
That can't be true. 360k would make him the highest earner at United?
Really looking forward to the AFTV chat about these two signings should both go through.Arsenal-mania are convinced Ben White is the better CB
Only for a while, rumours are Pogba wants 420.
The dear Holy Apostle Romano has spoken
Something something he must be smoking something.
Another big day today then yes x .
.Zidane is going to love this new team we are building
I questioned whether he was still good. But he’s better than Lindelof so bonus.

So the Sun, Sky, and Moons are all reporting this might happen? Nothing on SoundCloud as yet though.
Everyone is waiting for United's official bid.

I forget; does posting gifs/video memes in the footballing forums still result in being sentenced to hard labor on the prison island of Australia.
It's very likely his wages is based on team's achievement. Today, Fabrizio confirmed that Sancho's wages has the bonus if we win PL or UCL. Varane is likely getting the same.
Pogba's wages had UCL clause 25%. He will be only on 215k p/w if we don't make it to UCL. After what Fabrizio mentioned about Sancho, It's very likely now our standard wages clause for our new top players is no longer UCL spot anymore but actually winning PL. Assuming it's the same 25% cut then Varane's 360k (assumption) is basically only 270k p/w if we don't win PL. That's reasonable wages for his quality and experiences about the same as Martial and less than Pogba's current wages. No player will be jealous of that.
I really hope we still have the Jagielka's Moyes compilation vids somewhere in the library so he can learn a thing or two about our heritage in defence
According to Romano, it's all pushing, no pulling!

Yep it’s definitely after tax. And yes he would be.

Some quality bants in here
On a serious note, just how good is he on the ball though? Does he carry the ball? Good under pressure/a press? Does he pass into the middle? Does he defer/square a lot? Short, long game?
I recall reading some think he's not better than Lindelof here. That surely can't be true because for all the technique he has and looking comfortable on the ball, Lindelof is a passive/almost defer-first passer of the ball.

Don't know really, but he has lots of silverware and Lindelof has had lots of brainfarts which have prevented us from having silverware (like the EL final)
He gives far more assurances on the ball when he plays from the back, can deliver solid long range passes, and is still one of the faster defenders in the world who can recover from a bad position. The thing with Varane is I'm not sure he ever got better than when he was 19-21 and seemed like one of the best young CB prospect ever and dominating Barcelona defensively. He's a serial winner though and a great personality to have, but I don't see him as someone who will be a vocal leader in the dressing room and raising up everybody's intensity, he's a bit of a mellow personality.Some quality bants in here
