Think it was very much on IF Maguire agreed to leave when window opened and we made it clear he would be a starter. Was an ideal opportunity for us to have managed Varane's minutes this season but too late now.
He probably cares more about his long term career than his current wages. He made the better choice for his career.
Need to hold our nerve. West Ham haven’t signed a single player, they will get desperate.
Agreed deal for Alvarez though
Would have been a transformative signing. Varane is an imperious defender but his limitations on the ball do have a negative effect on our build up at times.
Yeah gonna be so shite seeing him at Bayern
Yeah, you sound convinced. I still think you’re completely delusional if you think we can fund Amrabat, a world-class midfielder, a proven goalscorer and a defender with sales in the next three weeks. You genuinely seem to have no clue how complicated the negotiations for all those required sales and purchases would be. especially in the current market, and especially with the wages our players are on.
That’s what I mean by this isn’t football manager.
He would probably have benched Varane to be honest.
Definitely that's why I was gutted he went there
I saw that but nothing on the guardians page or the journalists twitter.
Hope it's true though.
EDIT:
It came from this article.

£60m? SOLD. I will drive them to Stratford myself if required.
This really would be perfect. United would be really stupid to reject a bid like that, with that money you can buy Amrabat+Todibo and come off so much better.
They're around £10m off. £70m for the pair would be ideal.
Not after yesterday
Why would you bench one of the best defenders in the world?
Yeah, no. Pretty fair valuation. If we reject it we will get peanuts for both of them next year.
£60m for those two would be a great deal for us. McTom can be a decent player for a mid table side, so 30-40m is about right, but honestly Maguire is only going down in value.
When he's out on the pitch, Maguire looks like we've run out of players so we've asked Harry from accounting if he'd like a run-out for funsies. He's the least mobile, least athletic, most gormless looking guy on your local pub side, but somehow wearing a United shirt and earning hundreds of thousands of pounds per week. If someone pays £20m for him they will feel like they've had their trousers pulled down within six months.

There’s also stuff circulating about them wanting Martial on loan as well
, if only these rumours could come true….Wouldn't do that tbh unless there was a fee - If he is fit I'd still use him, we shouldn't be using Mctom or MaguireThere’s also stuff circulating about them wanting Martial on loan as well
£35m for Scott is going rate and £25m for Maguire is overpaying frankly
Would also get both Amrabat and Todibo/Branthwaite for about that amount.

We'd definitely demand some kind of loan fee for Martial. Why wouldn't you , particularly with Hojlund settling in whereby moving any first team squad striker out means incurring some kind of risk/cost ( regardless of saving on the wages)?
Then 60M and they pay full Martial's wagesThere’s also stuff circulating about them wanting Martial on loan as well
£60m and they can have them really. It’s more important to get Maguire off the books than McTominay personally.
Edit: he's also coming into final contract year (though I think there's an extension option), so a loan fee as small partial-transfer fee makes sense.
Take the money and run.
Damn it Harry why did you cause us to miss out on the best around in Min-Jae. Just looking at his top percentiles in most areas makes me want to scream. His aerial ability is absolutely unbelievable and Bayern have got one over us.
Let’s just accept 60m and be done with them? We also need to accept anything above 1m for Bailly and anything above 13m for Fred
Yeah totally agree
Yeah, with exception of the 60m cut-off. 55 should be enough to have us sell, even if we're taking into the whole FFP/amortization value question for Maguire. Scott's homegrown academy developed status makes up for the merely 'breaking even' on Maguire's remaining value.
Reading this, a wave of sinister smiles spread across the faces of United's board, "You underestimate the power of our stupidity."
Noooooo take 60 if it's on the table and run like feck.
Dare, I say it but we could probably squeeze them for between £65m to £70m
Don't be greedy they will walk away
Please do not tempt fate mate..
