you’ve got it a little wrong, varane gimself said we’d just signed smalling and jones and didn’t fancy the competition so went for madrid. obviously over things like zidane played their part but it wasn’t us choosing jones over him.
Raphael Varane | Signed for United!

Love the fact Fabrizio Romano has made Sky Sports News in the UK and Jim White irrelevant nowadays
"Hi Raph, you want picking up in the morning pal?"
Those same people also probably moaned when we gave Ole a new contract because of his poor tactics etc. disregarding the progress he has made. Some people just like to moan.
Aw, bless your heart. I don’t think you read the original Pexbo post which you replied to very closely, nor realized the past 50 pages has consisted mostly of memeing.
Jim White left Sky
Sky Sports lost most of its credibility practically 10 years ago.
Aww bless your heart to think some of us are going to sit here reading all 50 pages.
We signed Smalling the year before. Don't forget it was well known we were after Jones. It was reported pretty much everywhere that we were working on that deal during the season. SAF went to Lille to wrap up the deal himself and found out that Zidane had convinced him to go to Madrid.
seems like the PE teacher can attract players then
seriously though these are the players you want playing for your team, feck Pogba if he wants to go, feck Camavinga if he wants Spain, get the players who want to be here
Well obviously since he waits till after everything is confirmed then repeats it. All he does is copy tweets from other sources
Pretty much. If Pogba is still desperate to go to the point he'll settle for PSG, bit hard to feel anything but indifference.
Not feck Camavinga, because he'll be one of ours soon
exactly this.
probably helps that we've been after Varane for such a long time too. Always good to be wanted and that could be a factor in transfers like these.
You are seriously underestimating the power of United with CL.
Put this way, Varane is still signing for us even if it's not Ole. He isn't signing for us without CL and with Ole. Basically doesn't matter who our manager is.
you've completely missed my point, well done
Bless everyone’s heart…have we signed him yet!
This is such a game changer of a transfer. We are a world class midfielder away from a potential ridiculous team that could win it all.
Ole has pull.
I’ve never understood the retrospective judgment on manager decisions when looking back at what could have been.
Every player becomes what he is due to a number of factors including his environment, the coaching and the team he develops in.
But looking back at transfers that could have been is foolish because there’s no guarantee the player would become what he is today if he came to United.
Even though I hate Jose, there’s no guarantee KDB or Salah would be as good as they are today if they did not leave Chelsea and try elsewhere.
Would Ronaldinho been as good as he was if he came to Utd instead of developing in a star studded Barca team.
All ifs and buts.
Varane's transfer is also, largely, about timing. Mourinho wanted him, along with Maguire. But timing and the board was against Mourinho. Eventually it seems like they both made their way to United, which is always a good thing.
Players like this should always have an opportunity to play at United and it has totally changed not only because of Ole, but because it seems like United are getting their house in order with Woodward being phased out and proper executives getting more involved with the ins and outs of the first team and the playing side of things.

He’s obviously phishing with a boat and all
You can tell he’s got his own sources and posts stuff he knows to be true. If he just copied all the Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime on Twitter his record would‘nt be worth anything he’d be wrong 95% of the time.
His speciality has never been breaking news it never was, he’s like the old Sky Sports News back in the day when he/they post news you know there’s a very high chance of it being legit.

We signed Pogba, Zlatan and Mikhi without CL football. Something people should remember on here before they go around bleating about how Chelsea/City are bigger attractions than us mocking anyone who thinks otherwise. We’re a huge draw. Not aimed at you - aimed at the absolute bollocks posted on this forum by the usual self-depreciating miseries during the months of May/June.
He's gunnar do it next season, is our Ole.
Its UK.. Not available in the US.
He's clearly trawling United fans
Using the new click bait and all
Ah okay. Shame as it's quite good.
Romano has an admirable amount of patience to still keep doing what he does, without all the Twitter teenagers asking him for news every 5 seconds.
Anyway, cocks out and all that
I wouldn't pin too much on varane. Think he will be great but Liverpool play with 3 pretty solid defensive midfielders most games even though they have vvd. Our midfield still needs something for us to be really strong defensively in my opinion.
10 thread pages ago: omg Varane arrived for training, this transfer isn't happening.
meanwhile Maguire completes a full tour with Leicester and still took forever after that.
You weak Muppets don't deserve him. Either join the full moon gang or go hug your red flags.

But he fancied the competition with Ramos and Pepe?
Came in for more Varane big day news not Fabrizio Romano appreciation
That's exactly what he does. Nobody in the world is that well connected. It's impossible. And there's nothing wrong with it either. However it's what he does. He follows the right people.
If you are naive enough to believe he's an actual transfer guru who knows the insides of every major club in the world then that's on you.
And let's be frank he didn't get the Sancho stuff right either. He didn't know about the one yr extension at Dortmund last summer when we tried to get him and he got the fee wrong this year.
He's a good source for transfers but not for the reason you think he is.
Varane/Maguire with McFred is solid enough in my opinion
