we only need to buy 1 CB. If it was Varane, then him Maguire, Lindelof and Tuanzebe - that’s more than enough.
obviously we also have jones as well

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Take him Jose.
Any chance Jose wants to take Matic off our books as well?
An absolute no-brainer if we get Varane. I like Bailly, but he can't be trusted to be fit when we need him.
Even if we don’t get Varane or any other CB, it is time to let Eric go
Disagree with most on here.Hope he stays and proves himself.
Wouldn't we be a little thin with just Maguire, Lindelof, Tuanzebe and Jones? I mean Jones doesn't even really count, and Tuanzebe also has hit fitness issues.
Stays and prove himself? He isn't a youngsters anymore, he's 27 and been at United 5 years, it's time to let him go.
How many years do you give someone to do that though?
Do you still think Jones can prove himself out of interest?
Make it happen JoMo.
So true.
Maguire is greatly underappreciated. He ain't perfect, but for feck's sake compared to injury-prone, ureliable CBs we have - he is gift from above. He is quite consistent, too couple games aside last season
How would he do that? He's going to be fourth choice when we sign a new CB. And that's ignoring his fitness issues.
I almost forgot this guy existed. C'mon Jose, do us a solid and buy him again.
True… but maybe one of the kids could be thrown in for emergencies…e.g. Will Fish.
"as long as he doesn't punch random Greeks" haha, well-played, brother! I laughed so hard, I fell off the coach and had to explain myself to my wife.
Bailiy out and Varane in would be a brilliant piece of work by the suits. Means Tuanzebe is guaranteed no 4 and should get lots of playing time in the long season whilst whatsitname can go out to loan in Derby again.
On that point I wonder why Jones doesn't go out on loan, could do him good as it did Jesse good too.
Guess we could re-sign Anderson and rid ourselves of that problem once and for all!
Would imagine Jones is penciled in for no 4 in that scenario now that he is fit again and with no obvious prospect of him leaving this season until he proves himself in games again.
I’m sure he can eat his way into itHe is retired and never played CB? Just kidding ;-)
Honestly, if we sign Varane and knowing how rarely Lindelof gets injured, Bailly won't even get a single minute in PL or UCL.
The José link's seem odd. I got the impression José didn't rate him. Never seemed to use him, even when fit after the first season. Subbed him early a couple of times too. Weird? Doubt Roma would pay any more than what Smalling cost, anyway.
4x CBs seems fairly standard for most major clubs. Assuming Tuanzebe goes on loan, Varane + Maguire + Lindelof + Bailly is good.
If Tuanzebe stays, then we can move Bailly on.
He would be an absolute monster in Serie A if he can stay fit.
Weird. I know Jose bought him but he subbed him off after 20 minutes of the first half at the start of his last season (game against Newcastle) and he was hardly a regular. Might be better in the Italian league though.
He is in the long list of United players that seem to keep getting better the longer they're out of the game. Other hits include Hargreaves, Jones, Herrera and many others. The only one that's actually managed to turn it around is Shaw.
Not good enough. Move on.
Not good enough. Move on.
If I were United I'd take that bag of peanuts.
So won't be a monster then
To be fair, Hargreaves was brilliant the one season he managed to stay (relatively) fit.
I don't think anyone has expected anything from Jones for at least five years, and I can't remember Herrera being out for any great length.

‘Ole, please, let me stay, I’ll take a pay cut and be happy to sit on the bench, please, I’ll never moan again, pleeeeeeaaaaaase let me stay’
hopefully we can do a 2:1 with him and Matic.
I’d even take the bag, we would be pushing out luck to get the peanuts as well.
More like the club will be offering him a new contract rather than Eric himself pleading to stay.

Good man Jose. Take him now.
They can send zaniolo to us if they don't have the cash available (Jose will only ruin him anyway)

quite amusing his got both Smalling and Miki at Roma, albeit I feel for them both.
I like him too but I think he’s too injury prone to be a regular and he doesn’t want to be a backup. Jose to step in and become the budget Conte. There were rumours of him being in for Matic too. Italy is a great league for players who didnt cut it here/can’t anymore. Even Sanchez was ok for a while there and he is absolutely, 110% done.
Nah. I consider him like Sanchez since it was straight swap.
