We will see it’s always a back and forth with reported wages. I think the fact we are offering him a 5 year deal over Madrid’s 4 year deal is a big factor and Real Madrid were trying to low ball him for a while. I just don’t want to continue to destroy our wage structure. 350k a week is world class striker wages....
Raphael Varane | Signed for United!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

I think under normal circumstances we would, but with City potentially getting Grealish and Kane...
Touche!
I do understand he is a top player and should earn a top salary but that’s 250k for me. If I’m Rashford, Bruno, etc and Varane, who is an unknown in the PL league, is making 350k a week I’d want to be on par with him when I’m scoring the goals which win the game. I think 250k for all our top players with nice incentive bonuses is the way to go so we don’t destroy our wage structure again. Hopefully we learned from Sanchez.
That’s £200k p/w right? Same wages as Rashford. Worthy!
People are sick of facts.Oh right.
I guess the fact he’s an introvert and looks a bit sulky at times also skews his stats, but that doesn’t mean he’s actually low energy and low work rate. He work harder than the rest when he is standing still or when he’s walking to make up for it I guess?

Are ABC reliable?
He has 3 league titles, 4 european cups, and 1 world cup to his name having spent the last 10 years playing for Real Madrid.
What exactly is his motivation for joining Man Utd, other than doubling his salary?

Playing for his boyhood club for loads of cash and the climate??
Wages will be vital (as is for every professional), testing himself, new environment, not feeling valued. There are many.
If you’ve won it all at one club, it has to be hard to motivate yourself to do it all again. A new challenge might be a cliche but it does make a lot of sense.
DEFo
They're the best outlet, just after EFG
Basically he wants more cash or else he's moving.
He looks great with red colour to be fair. It suits him.
What kind of comment is this?
Maybe he wants another challenge and the chance to play in the best league and for one of the biggest clubs in the world?
He's done it at Madrid, he wants to move on and show he can do it elsewhere.
It's easier and more reinvigorating to start over in a new environment when you've achieved literally EVERYTHING in the same place with nothing left to do that can top what you've already done in the past. Plus helping a sleeping giant like Utd to challenge for and win big titles will cement his status as a GOAT CB
It's not a myth. Saw some stats recently, he's lazy as feck.
Speaking about motivation. Isn’t it fact he had won everything in Real Madrid means he has no motivation to stay in Real, and that’s why he’s looking for a move for new challenge. It’s not like Real is his boyhood club so right now I see zero reason why would he be motivated to stay in Real.
They compare it to what Alaba gets at Real. So it should be 12m net, not gross.
Im going to pretend that I don’t read this. And will still say worthy!
Very narrow minded way of looking at things. To play in the premier league? To live in England for a while? To join United and experience another big club? To play with some of the players United have? Because he's going stale?
You must be someone with limited ambition
Fair play if we can get him in on 200k p/w. That's the same as what Maguire makes right now.
Because Real offered way more money than what Bayern were willing to
Doubt Madrid will give in. They're cutting wages right? Trying to save everything for Mbappe.
For money, same as Varane. Lots of people switch jobs for money so that's fine but let's not pretend Money isn't the single biggest factor for Varane/Alaba moving.
close to 0 chance that happens given wages is why he's leaving Real in the first place.
That's that tan of his...He looks great with red colour to be fair. It suits him.
He's black Colin
Hopefully not a repeat of the Ramos saga.
So basically for the same reasons Bastian Schweinsteiger joined us then.
I'm not so ambitious as to have 32,000 posts on an internet forum but then we can't all be you, thankfully.
You have to take him over Lindelof but overall i'm not that keen on him. He will be very expensive and i'm not sure on the longevity. I've not watched every game or minute of him but for me he's always looked a lot less impressive without Ramos, e.g. against City he looked completely lost. I trust Maguire to be the Ramos to him but for the money involved it's a bit risky, IMO.
So who would you sign?
If the Alaba thing is correct - I can understand him. He is a much better player than Alaba
I don't know why but I never expected Rio to be our biggest Muppet. What a bloke.
I have been searching any interview or quote of him mentioning Rio as his idol, I found none. I’m not surprised if he is Varane’s idol but I need to hear it from his mouth.
As reliable as Do Re Me
