Ajax & United
Wan Bissaka - Varane - Maguire - Shaw

Name me a better back 4 in the Premier league right now
I'd say
Trent - Konate/Matip - Van Dijk - Robertson
Walker - Stones - Dias - Cancelo

Are of about the same level.

Massive coup if we sign him. Has been so long since we have had a very good CB pairing. This transfer window has been next level so far. We are coming back slowly but surely :devil:

If he'd signed after Bruno, you'd have put 'hit but overpriced.'

Maguire still doesn't seem to get the respect he deserves amongst the United fans. For me, he is on the same level of having the same impact as Bruno has had on the club. It's just that Ole started with getting a strong defence then attack, hence why it doesn't look as fancier signing.
Maguire is good, but 80m is overpriced. In comparison VVD cost 75m and is voted as Ballon D’or 2nd place, Dias cost 60m and is PL player of year. Maguire has cost more but doesn’t quite reach the same height. But surely he is still a good CB for us.

Substitute Bissaka with Trippier or Kounde and its could be PL best back 4. I still prefer City`s and Pools back 4 with Bisakka at RB.

We will only bid when we have an agreement with Real Madrid. It’s astonishing some people still don’t realise this.
I do realise that. I just feel like I've been reading the same tweet for two months straight. "Personal terms agreed, preparing official bid."

Like watching the film from The Ring.
Yeah, Samuel is talking non-sense here. Why would Varane do that. He was in euro and on holiday. Why would he spend his euro and holiday time to study our defending.

That isn’t the clubs fault though :lol: they can’t stop the clubs name being a huge click bait draw.

He could have watched a few United games, that counts.

"Have you watched any of United's defending?"
"I watched them play a few times, yeah..."
"So you've been studying them then! Quick, there's our quote!"

Negotiations take time, now we seem to be there. It’s actually been a pretty smooth transfer saga.

I’d imagine this is common for top end professionals? It’s a massive move for him and his family.

So this is happening. Has there ever been a player from Madrid or Barcelona that wasn't past it and also wanted to come to us? That's why this Varane transfer seems kind of surreal

Apparently Ronaldo was genuinely going to push for a move back in 2013 had Sir Alex not retired. Back when we were winning titles and progressing far into the CL.

I'm sure Beckham has said since he retired that he would have re-joined United from Madrid at any point, had he received any encouragement that he was wanted back.

Keylor Navas was set to join and agreed terms with us before the fax machine event, if i remember correctly. He went on to become their #1 and win a load of CL's

my take from the flurry of credible updates is that we have likely agreed a base fee for him, I'm wondering if the talks are now about some small addons and writing up the deal?

I fully expect this to be done dealio this week. Varane is going to be a MUFC player.

Yeah the rate its going I wouldn't be surprised to hear some agreement announcement by midweek in fact.
