Luckily he was terrible this season so we've got that narrative to hold on to!!
Eduardo Camavinga / signs for Real Madrid

The feeling of us failing to sign Camavinga and Varane is increasing. Real shame since both would be fantastic additions.
I'm not confident in either being signed. We are still us in the transfer window, which usually means being a let down.
Whoever we do sign though I just hope it's in time to have them playing pre season with us before the league kicks off in only 5 weeks time.
How so, because whatever media outlet you read happens to say so? It's all clicks and far too may buy whatever they peddle
A random comment from a random person on an internet forum speaks loudly about a players character?
We are getting different reports and stories every day, none of which are concrete with any quuotes but conjecture. Romano usually just states facts and he seems to have stated days ago what others are now saying without naming clubs, Camavinga is interested in moving here, we are interersted in signing him but other clubs are interested.
WHy wouldnt other clubs be interested and why would we be his first choice anyway, all the clubs seem big clubs. Even if he were to stay in France for 4years is tha being scared or timid or perhaps the best next step up for his development at that age?
Frfom what I have read about him, he seems to have a really good character and is very determined to become a top player.
Who knows what will happen, but writing him off becuase of that comment is absolute bananas
It's not really 'failing' to sign them if they both choose not to come here. I know it's popular to shit on the club's recruitment, and perhaps rightly so sometimes, but they're not magicians. Some of these signings are fantasy stuff.
I'm not sure how serious we are on Camavinga anyway, a lot will depend on Pogba staying or going, and we supposedly opted to sign Hannibal over this guy a couple of years ago. I don't think he'd dramatically improve our starting XI either, he still falls into the 'one for the future' category.
I know it would be nice to get all our signings in before pre-season, but that rarely happens when it involves highly sought after players, with big salaries and big fees.
People need to prepare themselves for some draw out sagas if we want to sign our top choices, and potential disappointment as well.
Because don't really trust or feel any confidence in the people who deal with our signings.
We've been let down numerous times over the years(just like @James35 stated above) and it feels like same thing will happen with these two.
Or Pogba
Only to the 'glass half empty brigade.'
Absolutely agree. And I’m sure we will not pursue any interest if he’d rather go somewhere else. That’s Ole on a point of principle.
The way Utd have worked recently is to have multiple i.e. 4/5 options for each position they want to strengthen. So there will be alternatives to Camavinga and we know already there are alternatives to Varane.
Utd are still in a position of strength compared to many clubs affected by covid. Clubs may get more desperate to get some money in via transfers to pay bills or give themselves some liquidity in the market to make moves of their own. I can see Utd taking their time and tryin to capitalize on desperate clubs, still along way to go before window closes.
Keep hearing that he prefers PSG to Utd which is a worrying red flag to me
The most likely to happen is we will sign Camavinga but sell Pogba to PSG.
The opposite is more likely tbh
Yes, with him on the bench.
If we can get this done and then get a quality partner for him next summer our midfield will finally be sorted, we just need one this summer at least to break up the crap McFred axis.
Why would PSG and Pogba do that when they can get Camavinga now, and get Pogba free next year....
Why can't PSG do that if they are building to win UCL next season? If they wait another year, Ramos might not be as good as he is anymore. Wijnaldum could be on the decline too as next year he will be 32.
Possibly because this summer is partly about getting Mbappe to sign a new deal
Seems a bit strange to me that PSG will go for Camavinga if they cannot get Pogba as one is a seasoned pro who does his best work on the creative side of things and struggles with his defensive duties whereas the other is a teenager whom from all accounts thrives on the defensive side of things and is a tackling machine.
I have always thought that a manager would select a profile of a player to fit into the way he wants his team to play and then go from there but then again to get the name of Pogba and Camavinga into the same tweet may get a little more attention

Depressing
Why????
It goes great with a curry.
Again, the real test is if we are interested and now have to compete for the signing against other teams like Chelsea, will we falter given what seems to be a history of lengthy and somewhat strained negations before any transfer is complete.
Need these things done and dusted to introduce new players into the team for pre season etc., just dont have confidence given Woody and Judges history.

Maybe Camavinga and Varane are smokescreens for our real targets,whowever they may be !
We actually target Declan Rice and Pau Torres. Then the CAF goes into meltdown.
(Would unironically be ecstatic with both, they might not be as highly regarded but they would both be massive improvements to our team)We actually target Declan Rice and Pau Torres. Then the CAF goes into meltdown.
Not saying Camaviga is the answer but Declan rice certainly isn't. And if we spend the money that West Ham wants for him, I think we will be making a huge mistake. If we can get Declan for 40m or something then maybe it's a fair price but not the price that has been quoted.
I think the only reason why we may not be pushing for Camaviga is because we think we aren't his preferred destination. Because he is exactly the kind of signing I expect United to make.

Pau Torres wouldn't be better than a fit Bailly, and only a very slight improvement on Lindelöf.
We will sign PSG and sell Camavinga to Pogba?
Lottery numbers for next please and thank you.
I have a feeling Pau Torres will develop into a quality defender, but he is not lightning quick - so that is why I am sceptical to sign him as partner to Maguire
Bet he'd love to come to this country now.
Who would not want to come to a country full of racist bigots who abuse other teams players?
The racists are online, not exklusive to UK.
Obviously France has no racists or right wing nationalists…
Personally I am impressed with anyone taking a half-decent penalty in a final. If I was walking up to the spot knowing the consequences of a miss, I would almost be too nervous to take the penalty 
But they're professional players getting paid hundreds of thousand pounds every week. That's their job.Personally I am impressed with anyone taking a half-decent penalty in a final. If I was walking up to the spot knowing the consequences of a miss, I would almost be too nervous to take the penalty
He lives in France. Sadly, I doubt this would be anything new for him.
I think that is the one part of the job you can't really learn.
So Sancho and Varane pretty much locked in. How long until we make Eduardo ours, too?
