    Did they really deceive us though? He was injury-prone at Madrid as well, it’s not as though that was a secret.

    He didn’t play well last night but in general his form isn’t the issue, he’s just unreliable. He lasts maybe 4 or 5 games max before he picks up an injury that sidelines him for a month.

    I’d be very surprised if we don’t try and move him on next summer. The issue is, he is contracted to 2025 and is on enormous wages, a move to Saudi is our only hope.

    They’re right. The problem has to be the 4x Champions League/World Cup winning, past his prime CB. Couldn’t have anything to do with the instability of the club in the past decade.

    If Varane stayed, he’d still be a starter at Real Madrid. If he regressed that’s Man United’s fault, they didn’t sell a faulty product, Man United just didn’t know how to use him. Varane was one of the best center back.

    So this is a pundit telling Man U that Madrid decided them over Varane? This is such non-news it should be deleted from the sub. Absolutely trash

    This is not the opinion of anyone at the club, this is just ramblings of a fucking idiot. Gabby Agbonlahor of the shitrag that is TalkSport. And some quotes from Scholes as well.

    As for the actual premise, it is ridiculous to suggest that a buyer club can be “deceived” when it comes to a player that has played a shitload of games for the seller club. We didn’t buy Varane because someone told us he was good, we bought him because his quality was evident. No one was “deceived”, that’s just TalkSport being the shitrag that it’s always been.

    Now, I do agree that he isn’t exactly a leader, or a transformative player like van Dijk or Diaz, but he is damn good when he’s in form and in the right partnership, we saw it last season.

    There is a reason Maguire-Varane isn’t a pairing we see often: it doesn’t really work. This is why Maguire-Evans has been our go-to in the absence of Martinez.

    Guy gets one hand ball and now he’s the problem. 😂. United are toxic and rotten to the core from top to bottom. Sad to see really

    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.
