Yes, but only if we can get two midfielders. If we're only getting in a DM, I'd rather keep Pogba.

Is it me or have we just gone full pelt into this market where as all our Rivals are pretty much standing still.
Is it the sell on when they bought him from Lens?
Yeah, well what do expect from the media. They wouldn't know a good source even if they were in a condiments factory. (word play)
Nope because it's very doubtful we come out better off for next season without him.
It says the total fee could raise up to 50m pounds. Which is wrong. It could rise up to 50m Euros.
No.

BBC have amended their article now.
It says £34m/£42m with add ins

Raphaël and Harry, the angel and the beast, will rule central defence 
Okay, it's Jacob Harry Maguire, so thei're both biblical.

Yeah, they did. Just reloaded the page and it's fixed.
That fee is still blowing my mind. It’s unbelievable.
Man, getting Varane for just £50/£75 million with add ons is really pretty good !
Yeah not worth taking note of those Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime.
We could sign literally any player. Messi, Mbappe, Oblak.. and weirdos on Twitter would find some way to make it a bad signing. Or that they lack ambition for joining a club that doesn’t win trophies etc.
Let them talk
We're suddenly good in the transfer market? Sancho and Varane for what it would have cost just for Sancho last year...
Now the report is a total of £42mil
Some would see it as some sort of victory if we got £40 million from PSG for him, maybe a bit like a few Madrid fans feel about Varane just now.

Agreement reached tonight between Manchester United and Real Madrid for a transfer of Raphael Varane of around 50M € ! As announced by The Atletic, contract 4 years + 1 year optional. The player must respect a quarantine to return to England. VM at the start of the week
learnt a lot from this. Thanks.
It's £34m with add-ons (£42.7m in total, which is 50 Euros in total)
I can't not read this in David Brent's voice.
Excellent
Great signing

Does VM stand for virtual medical? Surely not
No Varane Medical
Do you do this with all transfers? Add up wages and signing on fee? Or just United ones?
Oh okay cheers
This whole thing seems like too good a deal to be true. I'm panicking now that his knees will do a Ruud during the medical
The doubters can do one , Varane is world class and this is potentially a real game changer of a signing. £34m is a fee from the noughties!

It’s €12m in wages for the year I thought?
Apparently, that's what he turned down already!
Can't help thinking that, if the club are splashing out on Sancho, Varane and Trippier (if that turns out to be correct), then they're pretty confident that Pogba is on his way and they can offset some of the outlay (plus some small change if a couple of other players move on).
I would be really happy for Pogba to stay if he really wants to stay, but if he's blowing hot and cold and we're going to see a continuing saga of how we use him, is he being played in the right position, should he or shouldn't he be better defensively, and so on, then I think it's time to draw a line and accept that he's a consequence of Mourinho's practice of throwing money at big name players then figuring out how they fit, and not taking account of the wider effect on the team.
As far as Varane is concerned, definitely a good signing and someone we've looked at since his early days at Real I think.
Remember these fees aren’t apparently upfront. It’s over the 5 years of their contracts for both Sancho and Varane. So we still have money to spend and we don’t need Pogba to leave to offset the finances.
That's photoshopped, right? And not with an actual picture of Varane's face, but with his face in FIFA.
The best you can get at that price
