That's not saying much considering their transfer record during that duration
Raphael Varane | Signed for United!

Because they want their dividends.
I think it’d be better if he’d be part of it and stayed, finally realising what he came back to Manchester to achieve.
Dortmund were not going to negotiate, just like this year they are not negotiating the price for Haaland, its £150m or nothing. I don't see how hard that is to understand?
Instead a year later, we have signed Varane and Sancho for the same money they wanted for him last year.
They will be balancing the books with sales of Pogba and others yet. The summer spend will be nothing out of the ordinary for us.
There'll be one somewhere, there always is
After his first mistake or injury ... they'll crawl out of the woodwork.
VDS, Rio-Vida-Evra-whoever is our no1 defence ever.
Big Pete-Stam, Johnsen(Berg), Gary and Irwin is 2nd.
This is 3rd for sure.

No-one should have a problem with that in fairness. Getting in two top players in positions you desperately need and getting rid of some that either want out or aren’t good enough is exactly how a club should be run.
Can't post media mate, but yeah he done a bit on it last night (linked in his twitter), he was buzzing.
You are dirty, shame on you!
Seriously, I think Woodward was compounding the Glazers negative hold on the club. Bad ownership was made to look worse by bad stewardship. Signs are there that we've changed for the better regardless of owners.
True, and I think there's a realisation that they need to spend to compete with City. The mood music around Pogba's contract isn't good, would be great if we did keep him for the right reasons though.
Here come the excuses, early just to be safe.
bruce and pallister say hello.
It’s just potential for now with this back line, but it is exciting!
You don’t remember that brief period where VDS was replaced in goal by a pre-pubescent VVD?
I think it’s more that we find ourselves in a purple patch with clubs needing to sell and we are able to exploit that. I think normal service will resume soon enough.
I agree. I just think people are getting a bit carried away that this is something special from the Glazers. Better to assess at the end of the window.
What?
Wholeheartedly agree.
But this back 4 has potential to be even better.
Evra Vidić Rio is a hard team to beat, but Shaw Maguire Varane is equally good.
All it remains is for them to stay fit for an extended periods of time and to gel properly.
There is that but there's something different with how we seem to be operating this window.
"We only spent £70m net, it's completely unrealistic to expect a title challenge!"
Stop.
These players have a long, long way to go before being compared to one of the best defensive groups in league history. Let’s see them play together first.
Real steal to get him from Madrid and it sounds like he wanted it (Unlike Di Maria).
We must have a defence as good as any in the league now.
Two big holes in the starting 11 have been filled. Lets really kick on and get another 2 good signings so the rebuild is finally complete.
One big question though - Is the improved transfer window down to Woodward being useless, or is it due to the fan unrest and the board trying to stop an uprising?

From Lindelof
To Varane

to the tune of singing in the rain
I'm singing for varane,
Just singing for varane,
What a glorious feeling,
You're not scoring again.

I don't know why people are trying with chants. He already has a perfectly great one. "Champions league Varane"
just repeat this over and over:

Not what I said.
Great signing. Hopefully relieves the need for mcfred/matij and free up other areas on the pitch for us so the manager can be a bit more tactically expressive. Good depth at the back now. Let one of the mcfred play a bit deeper and let bruno/vdb roam free and pogba/mejbri/mata may stay fully up top left. Sancho/James/diallo can take right side fully. Rashy/martial can cut in side from left. Cavani/greenwood can focus on scoring. Good times ahead.
Not yet, we all know it’s coming though if we’re some way off come December
Considering how outrageously negative I found you last year regarding our squad, where would you place us with Varane & Sancho but minus Pogba?
Dunno why potential leaving of Pogba is counted as minus in here, majority of this place cant wait to see back of him, not to mention fans outside this forum, if he leaves, guess same muppets will use it how ever it fits their narative and moving goal posts.
Regarding Varane, thats very solid price for defender of his calibre, hope he stays healthy.

Also this summer the best for buying outside England. A lot of the European clubs have financial problems which makes negotiations much easier for us.
You have poor reading comprehension. I never said Varane is like Vidic. Read again as many times as you need:
and make sure you take your time, so you don't make erroneous statements again.
Also, the prospect of Lindelof never being seen again in our starting 11 has me prepping the biggest post-covid jamboree
it's pretty obvious where it's going. You've always been really negative about our squad in order to make excuses for.. others.
I'm sure you missed the word - potential.
Shaw and Maguire just had a wonderful tournament.
Varane is a CL multiple winner.
The potential for them to shine is there.
Stand by Varane
He’ll give you cups to cling to
He’ll give you cups to cling to
Which they get regardless of money invested?
Closer but still behind City, Chelsea and Liverpool for me, and they haven't done any business yet. Not saying we can't challenge.Not yet, we all know it’s coming though if we’re some way off come December

They deserve a lot of credit for how the club is run financially.
They are americans and, as was proven with the ESL, have no understanding of what football is about in Europe. But it's much better to be run by that than by oil billionares.
