    Rather than hold the manager who got us out of the League Cup and Champions League and sitting 8th in the table, let’s scapegoat the 4 time CL winner and world champion who’s our best defender when fit on his day.

    This club is too despicable.

    He played over 200 times for Madrid, theres not a lot of deception about his abilities on the pitch.

      And won quite a few trophies while being a starter. Obviously not a Man Utd quality player.

        Idiotic pundits. Overall Varane has been very good for us when fit. Not always, but he’s had a fucking hell of a time with the entire defense and the cdm switching out every other game.

      Manchester United fans were deceived by the signing of Raphael Varane, according to Gabriel Agbonlahor.

      This is a TalkSport article whose main source is Gabriel Agbonlahor. Nobody at United thinks they were deceived and aren’t aware of his abilities.

        Yea, pretty obvious at this point that they base all their transfers on agents, media hype, and manager requests.

        Simple as. Guys like Antony, Matic, Mihki are clear manager buys. Sancho, Pogba, etc. were media hype transfers.

        Very few look like a part of a well-scouted, coherent, long-term plan.

        Its a lot like what was happening at Arsenal during the dark days of Raul Sanllehi tbh, except this has been going on for 10+ years at ManU.

          Sancho and Pogba were brilliant players at Dortmund and Juve (and Pogba was class for a while at United too). Dismissing them as media hype players is incredibly ignorant

      Mount is a fantastic player, you could see his quality even in his short time here. It’s just the wrong fit. We already have Bruno, buying him just makes no sense.

        I thought Mount was going to be a Bruno back-up until I saw the pricetag, ain’t no way that amount of money was gonna be spent on a backup unless he starts…

      They’re already saying it, because they spent boatloads on a player they already have and he’s sitting on the bench. Idk who it is, or if this many people are collectively clueless, but Ronaldo at least made sense on a sentimental note, Mount wasn’t needed whatsoever and it makes no sense to have him.

    he wasn’t even great at madrid. got saved by back line of ramos, marcelo and carvajal and casemiro doing lot of defensive work. he had issues at madrid as well. what was united even expecting to just get player without any research

    Man U should’ve taken a page out of the University of Michigan’s book and paid someone to watch globally televised matches.

    Man United is a bit like a dude returning a used dildo.

    My man, you looked at it, you thought you might like it, you bought it, you took it home, you tried it, it was ass, now it reeks of you and no-one wants it…

    Varane was declining already with Madrid - they often sell a season or two before it really happens

    These posts add no value but just generate clicks. How would Gabby who is not related to United in any way know what United is thinking. It’s not like United was sat sulking in a pub and he ran into it and asked. What a BS article.
