Is this what it feels like to have a football director.
I feel dizzy with all these quick, reasonably priced world class signings happening

Now sell Pogba to PSG and get a good midfielder with the cash.
im am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy
To the Pogba thread....
Our season now hinges on what happens with Paul or a replacement.

Great business at that price if true. Probably some juicy add ons but even so!
I expect we'll see some balancing of the books before any further signings, Pogba being the biggest for less than people think.
I don't think the effect of Covid on finances is being appreciated here yet, many more deals before the end of the window will look like bargains compared to prices we are used to.
On getting a CDM. We cannot be playing Mcfred there every week
I would imagine so, yeah.
Might be Madrid's farewell gift to one of their legend.
35 million with add ons? That's a brilliant deal if I ever saw one.
Our midfield bar Bruno and Pogba is very lore for Top level football. Some good enough to be squad players some not even.
To let that happen would be the definition of two steps forward 1 step back.
If he goes a world class replacement is needed. Hell both a CM and DM are needed.
What will the reaction be if he turns up for Madrid training tomorrow?
Also why can’t he do the medical in Spain? Lukaku did his in LA right?

I can't believe we got Varane for about £40 million all in. Even if he doesn't turn out to be super amazing (touch wood), it's still a very reasonable price.
Or Keep Pogba and get a DM and have an even better team.
Fab literally said he is still in contract talks.

Amazing deal that is
even if bonuses take it to €50m or something like that, it's a bloody good deal for us. Took full advantage of Varanes contract and Reals finances ... just a great deal all around. Full marks to the club so far this summer, getting Sancho and Varane for a combined ~€125m plus bonuses is fecking awesome.
It's always nice to here someone really wants to come to United and its his dream.
£35 million for varane. A World Cup, la Liga and champions league winning player
£50 million for Ben white who got twisted around by rashford.

Apparently juve, psg, barca and Munich have hired extra security, they're worried Don Murtaugh may show up.

34m
This gets better and betterWe're never going to win it
I hope we have to pay out 2 bonuses this season to him.
Alexis was poor for the start of the 2017/18 season before he joined us in January but on the 2016/17 he was on world class form he scored 24 goals and 10 assists. So by any case Varane is coming of a worse patch than Alexis.
We can only hope Varane recovers his form with us.
I'm Orny, Orny Orny Onry!
Fantastic news and signing.
I would have thought all the players would.
At Madrid thinking £34m is"good money"Pointless info. Thought these bonuses would surely be standard for most of our players. Win the league = bonus.
They're scraping their coppers together to try and afford Mbappe
So we will be paying two bonuses in one year? Are we sure we want to pay so much to a 28 year old who is clearly past his prime?
I'll personally pay it if we win both
£34m plus addons OMG someone is wearing a Dick Turpin mask at Utd because that is an absolute bargain of the century
Exactly, bonkers isn’t it.
