As of now it’s:
Alaba, Militao, Nacho, and then the replacements linked are Pau Torres or Kounde.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

I mean it’s never as black and white as: “I’m definitely leaving”, but nor is it “if you have a chat with me and a pat on the back I’m definitely staying”. A player can genuinely be interested in joining us and still be potentially trying to sign a new deal if the current club match his demands. It’s not an absolute either way.
So basically if Real offer him more money (not less) he stays with them then
Am confused. I thought he supposedly wanted a new challenge since 2018.
I get what you and another poster are saying, and I agree to an extent as it's why I was insistent on Bailly playing more as for all of his faults he allowed us to be much more aggressive in gaining territory higher up the pitch.
But overall when I watch us go against any top side, the glaring issue is a lack of a midfielder besides Pogba that teams are afraid of. City/Liverpool/Chelsea/PSG etc all do the same thing in aggressively pressing McT/Fred/AWB because all of those players are awful on the ball under pressure and it leads to losing possession and control of the game. Which is why we tend to sit deeper in those games and willingly have them try to punt balls over the top: A safe option that has a low likelihood of success but also won't lead to easy chances for the other side. I'm of the opinion that a top DM that is able to play through the lines with confidence would allow us to punish teams that are gung ho without relying on Pogba to be the only one that has the quality/technique to play those passes.
In the end both positions are vital for us to upgrade the squad, so here's to hoping they both are addressed this summer.
Yeah until he's offered more money then a challenge can wait
If it's "do want" or "do not want" - it's the former.
Sure. But the deal would have to be the right one - within the total context of ins and outs this season.
Because he obviously won't come cheap.

And this is where there could be a problem. All we have are rumours but I doubt he would accept 250 unless he had to. RM have offered 225 according to the rumours... This is his last big contract.
But if he rejected renewals in 2018 pre covid what makes you think Madrid will be able to make a better position post covid?
Tbh I wasn't aware they'd tried to renew him in 2018
He's rejected their post-covid offers as well and they don't have that much money right now...
It's nothing too crazy in an environment where their longtime captain Ramos rejected renewals offers as well and eventually left
So by signing he’s going to bring us champs league , leagues and cups .
Can’t wait.
Varane also wants an improved contract which Real haven't really offered him.
Making more money is also a challenge.
Can someone give me a brief summary of where we’re at with Varane? Thanks
The palm of our hand is down our trousers and rubbing our private parts with intent, but we haven’t fully unzipped and whipped the cock/fanny out yet.
Ahh this stage is my fave
This stage is nothing but edging. We needs the money shot.
It was in 2019, 2020 and earlier this year.

Varane & Torres would be great plus Sancho and Rice.
Then we just need a striker at some stage.

Both Simon Stone , Hirst and Ogden reporting among others. This story is very real
Ya, he is challenging by asking for more money
Very much doubt we're interested in both Varane and Torres.
Partly because it was just MEN who reported it, partly because we don't need two CB signings and partly because Torres will likely be eyeing a move to Real Madrid to replace Varane if he leaves. Doesn't make sense for him to come here to be third choice.
Cheers, needed this update as well. He looks so good, would propel us up the lookers table
Kinda got my attention now as this isn't probably Woodward putting fake bids in anymore.
Sancho, Varane plus a starting XI central midfielder and we might just have ourselves a team ready to have a serious tilt at the title and go deep in the Champions League next season.
My balls are tingling.

He even tried to leave. But Zidane convinced him to stay.

Oh FFS
I am so ready for this. Damn fast train as well. I love it
Shaping up to be a proper summer saga with twists and turns this
But mostly because we have a back 4 and Maguire is definitely starting
The Varane slow train it is then.
I'm a bit apprehensive of these Madrid players as they always seem to play games with their team to get a new and better contract.
Is this another one?
Only time will tell.

Worse than a cold shower
Jumping the gun there by Odgen and ESPN, that's why i don't trust his so called 'sources'. He should really be blacklisted in the tweets thread
