Really are. In sensible countries visa would have been issued on arrival.
Not much point in a Visa to enter if you are already here.....it may be inconvenient but better border control was what folk voted for. People need to move on.

I can’t believe he’s still so young. This is a mega signing for the club, as Sancho is. Varane and Maguire, with time, will be a sensational partnership. Just got to sort out central midfield now, get Pogba out and get a superstar in who actually makes the team play better.

Constantly at the STD clinic.
Bonucci and Chiellini, Marquinhos and Sergio Ramos, Dias and Stones, VVD and Konate (depending on fitness) those I think are the debatable options. Dont know if we have the best CB pairing but we're definitely in the conversation.
I wouldn't have ramps marquinhos but agree rest are debatable.

Strange how Romero is flying in for Spurs already without a Visa and Varane has been waiting a good while.

Precious time is wasting.

Exactly. If there was a CL game in England, I guarantee you there would be no issue.

I don't know whats taking us so long to get these deal complete. Same issue with Sancho, repeating itself.
Heck we haven't even seen Sancho in training, the season starts soon.

So quarantine first before medical + photo shoots and contract signing that kind of stuff. Earliest we’ll see him in United top and officially announce will be mid week next i guess

How long does his quarantine have to be? He’s only gonna have like a week training with the first team before the season starts. Doesn’t look good

I’m pretty sure Amad’s visa was delayed as well before he could arrive in Manchester. What’s wrong with these offices in the UK?

Is it not the case that he doesn't need to quarantine if he's fully vaccinated? Think I read somewhere on here that he was vaccinated. Does anyone know for sure?

The visa requirements would be very different in both the cases.

It could actually be half that :D I read on Goal.com it was 14 yellow cards and 2 Reds in 350+


How do you do that then? :)
Assuming you're on google chrome, just right click on the pic like below:

if not on chrome, copy the URL link and go to google.com then in the top right hand corner select 'images' and click on the camera.

Rio-esque!

Wasn’t there some crazy stat about Rio not conceding a foul for some 30+ games too?

Varane watchers - how do the both compare?

If you look at la Liga matches only, he has 14 yellows and 2 reds in 236 matches (19646 min) which is one card every 13.6 full matches.

As comparison in the PL, Maguire gets one card every 4.2 matches, Lindelof one card every 13.3 matches, and Bailly one card every 5.3 matches.

So he'll get a red in his first game for us then? :)

Now that we're finally good at doing transfers, it seems like we need a post-transfer team to ensure a smooth process there as well...
