Also, lukaku didn't need to quarantine did he?
Manchester United sign Raphael Varane! (not in time for Leeds)

He has to quarantine, too, which is why he won't be available for Chelsea's first match this weekend.
Also it's Lukaku.
Have we done the "waiting for stock market" joke yet. I have it in my drafts just in case
The pre season schedule is a bit weird like. Everton have had less game than us where it seems Liverpool and Leeds had loads. Cant be arsed checking the rest like haha. I doubt many teams have had their first team getting games together though so it shouldn't be too much of a worry.
So where did he do his medical? What was the difference between his and varanes?
Probably about 3 months ago
According to report he did it in Milan.
United sign.............................Phil Jones to a lifetime contract.
He did it in Italy flew to London no quarantine no Visa issues, no pen or ink issues and signed after a day
He did one part of his medical in Milan and finished it off in England. There's no difference between his and Varane's processes except for the fact that Chelsea did some media work in Milan.
Not true. There were some minor details that needed to be sorted out in England, and he also has to quarantine.He did it in Italy flew to London no quarantine no Visa issues, no pen or ink issues and signed after a day
I suspect Varane is not vaccinated then, thats the reason for so many delays.
He doesn't look like quarantining while signing and shaking hands.
Varane definitely has one vaccine. The whole France squad got a dose before Euro 2020. The U.K. quarantine rules require that people who aren't double-vaccinated have to quarantine, so it's most likely that both he and Lukaku didn't get two doses.
That was all done in Milan, not in England.
Does anyone remember what time Sanchez got unveiled/signed, that seemed like a 7/8pm announcement? But maybe my memory is failing! But no need to worry think Lindelof would have started anyways! just because of the querentine period, and being out of training for a week, thats probably why they are so chilled about getting him signed!
6pm. Unlikely we'll announce anything tonight as today has been all about the kit reveal.
Looks like Varane won’t be available for Leeds. Pathetic
But both were gonna be unavailable for the first game? That's correct isnt it?
He's a utd player now. Look on the bright side
He was always going to be on the bench at best if available, and its highly unlikely we use a sub for a CB unless an existing one on the pitch is injured so we weren't going to see him play anyway. Just on the bench wearing a United top.
Are the rules different for British citizens? Thinking if Lukaku’s a citizen that might affect quarantine rules regardless of vaccination status?
Where's Craig Norwood when we need him?
feck it. I'll sign my kid up for the Caf, she'll fit right in, this thread is literally her in the supermarket.
Gets the toy she asks for, then still manages to throw a tantrum because we're not getting home fast enough for her.

As daft as this sounds, could this be a real thing. If lukaku was double jabbed and varabe wasnt. Would varane have to have his 2nd before being allowed close to the squad?
That absolutely is correct. Lukaku will be available for the second match just like Varane. Also:
Both Varane and Lukaku have one dose as both Belgium and France were vaccinated before the European Championships. Because Varane quarantined and Lukaku is quarantining in England, they're highly likely to not have taken their 2nd doses.
was thinking something similar. We are about to sign one of the best CB's in world football and some are being Cry babies because he will miss one match v Leeds. Just enjoy that we have signed two world class players for the season ahead.
Why has the training pictures dried up, there has been no pictures of either Sancho or Varane training with the squad. I am still hopefully that both will be on the bench for saturday, specially as Sancho has been training for a week and Varane resumed training with Madrid for 2 to 3 days or maybe more before flying to UK. I remember Maguire started the 1st game without having attended any training session with us. However, the major difference was he played all matches in pre-season with Leicester, whereas Varane has not played a single match.
If they don’t announce him in the next days, it means there is a problem (now hidden with excuses)
Sancho on bench probably
More like Conference League Varane pch
I thank you for actual information based on true knowledge. Don't get a lot if that round here
From my point of view I was prepared to be patient until the medical was done but now it is I cannot get the hold up
Just finished a days work and expected to come on here with pages and pages of tweets videos of the announcment and still nothing ? Why are we so slow! :@
Why are people getting upset? He was never going to be ready for Leeds anyway
Check United's Twitter account for Sancho's training pics. As for Varane, he's already trained with Real Madrid, so it's not like he's really lacking in match sharpness. Regarding his training with us, we'll only find out once United do all of their media presentations.
No problem. I'm happy to do this as it keeps me informed, too.
No guarantee that just because he isn’t announced it means he isn’t registered. Also the deadline is lunchtime tomorrow. Chill out before you blow a fuse dude….
Wouldn’t want him to steal Sancho‘s limelight on Saturday now would we? It’s all good
