Well that was money well spent
Casemiro = Matic
I will not be taking questions.
I wonder if Gary Neville will lead the charge into investigating the sales, if they happen. The same way he did with Chelsea selling 2 players to the Saudi League.
Varane is injury prone but to say that Casemiro is washed up is hilarious. Can’t be a stand out when the whole team is under performing especially in a spot light defensive mid. Feels like Casemiro is in no man’s land with no help and they expect him to stop everything on his own.
Wow MUFC got a huge life line
However they missed out Kim and Rice
What’s the plan now ?
There are rumors about Antonio Silva. But Benfica tend to sell for high, so the wallet is gonna bleed.
Absolutely no idea about DM.
Suggest something.
They can always try to go for Frenkie, right?
I dunno if this makes me (and any other Utd fans) feel any better, but we were never getting either of those two. Rice was a pretty long shot all things considered, and Kim would never have chosen us over first team football at BuLi champs Bayern.
It’s a sad state of things, but United have not been serious contenders for ages now. We shouldn’t be trying to lure in big names with even bigger wages. Our wage structure is already fucked up beyond repair, and we only seem to be making it worse.
I think if Qatar or sir Jim happened then maybe
Kane waited for MUFC too
Kane would’ve only gone to people not in direct competition with Spurs i.e City. Levy wouldn’t have ever sold Kane to a PL rival. It was more wishful thinking on our end. And looking at how shambolic our team currently is, in retrospect it was a great decision by Kane not to come to OT.
The problem wasn’t money 100-150m
But people questioned his age 29, this a guy who is never injury and doesn’t relay on athleticism
Could play till 38-40
The problem was that United wouldn’t get him if Levy could decide it (so this summer) and then they would still’ve been in a hard competition with Real, Bayern and other clubs (if he would’ve gone on a free).
Sign players ETH managed at Ajax
I hope we start from scratch, similar to Arsenal and Liverpool. Just start building a team for the future even if we finish 8th or 10th or whatever. That’s the only way to ensure a stable future.
What’s the plan now ?
tank the season for a better draft pick
Casemiro goes to Saudi I think and Varane is genuinely good enough for any other team in Europe.
‘It’s always been my dream to play for Steven Gerrard.’
So unbelievably injury prone though. I don’t think he’s got more than 30 games in a season in him anymore.
Alright say we do offload em for a decent bit of money, who should we replace them with?
Decent bit of money? Who would buy a CB who is almost always injured and a midfielder who is old and fouls like a son of bitch?
Can someone inform me why Varane is leaving?
Because he clearly took the job after being told to clear out the high earners in the squad. It’s not a coincidence that the 5 top earners when he joined (Ronaldo, DDG, Sancho, Casemiro, Varane) are all either being sold, exiled or terminated
Bollocks, there’s no agenda to get rid of the high earners without obvious season.
Sancho is SHIT. Lazy, underperforming and did nothing for his entire time here. And his attitude clearly stinks.
De Gea did not suit any modern team and it’s shown by the fact he’s still without a club.
Ten Hag repeatedly said he wanted to work with Ronaldo but with no pre season he rotated him, Ronnie didn’t like it and went crying to Piers Morgan. Ten Hag didn’t push him out, Ronnie jumped.
Case is 31 and having a bad season. Varane is 30 and injury prone. Not exactly ground breaking to be thinking about potential exits for these players
Right, it’s just a complete conspiracy that the Glazers who want to save money employed a manager who allowed his best players to be sold at Ajax for profit and are having him replace all the high earners with lower earners. This is all just one big coincidence to you is it?
It’s crazy how our fans shit on the Glazers while supporting every action of theirs lmao. If it’s just about performance why aren’t Antony or Rashford being pushed out? If it’s about injuries why isn’t Shaw being pushed out? If it’s about having a “bad season” why are all the players on lower wages getting away with it?
If you think any serious club keeps McTominay and Maguire only to sell Varane and Casemiro then I just don’t know what to tell you at this point
Fell out hard with Ten Hag apparently.
Lmao if thats true seven hag is worse than i thought.
are there any players that havent fallen out with ten hag lol
Because he doesn’t know how to man manage at a level beyond the school playground. Management is all about push and pull but he seems to have an approach where he wants everyone to be a little boy. Compare how he manages to how Ancelotti gets the best out of his players. Pep and Klopp are both annoying demanding fuckers but seem to avoid falling out with their best players
Not a single good source has said anything about then falling out btw. People on here just like to talk out of their asses, just like you
Casemiro and Varane mysteriously being left out of his teams for “tactical” reasons, and now they are going to leave. What do you think happened?
Have you not watched Varane this season? He has not been up to par. Evans has outplayed him at the age of 38. He was benched for being below standard and Maguire and Evans have stepped up. This is not a slight at EtH’s man management, but an exhibition of it
Yes, he has been terrible, especially that Copenhagen game. Many Man U fans were questioning Ten Hag’s decision to leave him out of the starting XI before that though. I think Casemiro was the more puzzling omission, but maybe that was due to him not being fit?
I’m not saying it’s Ten Hag’s fault, but it does seem like there is something going on there. Maybe I am talking out of my ass but I wouldn’t be surprised.
Casimiro has also been below par tbf, but he’s mostly been injured more than anything
Ten Hag doesn’t want to play him or Maguire on the left side. Maguire’s been in reasonable form so he’s benched Varane. Getting dropped in big games for Evans prob hurts Varane.
But all that being said it’s just speculation, not long ago we heard reliable stories saying Varane accepted Ten Hag’s decisions to not play him, now the gutter stories saying he was fuming with it.
Being benched for a cb paring of evans and Maguire, I’d want out too
I would stay, easiest 300k per week
I don’t think he’ll be getting NT call being on the bench all the time .
He retired for France.
He’s getting outplayed by Evans tbh. Varane has been pretty bum this season, and a lot of cheap mistakes. I think he checked out long before EtH benched him
His heart has not been in it
I got mobbed when I said that the Casemiro transfer was just another shortsighted transfer that United overpaid for, that fee was unjustifiable.
pretty expensive outlay for a single carabao lmao
And man utd are still the graveyard of talents. More money off the wage book.
Casemiro and Varane to reunite with Ronaldo at Nassr?
I’d say this is what will happen, yep.
The unreliable whispers are saying Case to Al Nassr yeah
Al Nassr vs Inter Miami in El(derly) Clasico let’s goooooo
USA vs the Middle East let’s go
How are they doing on non saudi player contracts? I think Saudis can only have 8 at a time
I’m guessing they’ll have that rule changed if it gets in the way of anything.
Yeah I’m surprised that rule is still there. There already players that didn’t get added to the roaster even though they just got signed just last window.
They’ll most likely remove it in the near future.
Presumably they’re trying to force teams to try grow Saudi players too though
It didnt with jota at ittihad
Surely would be a decent team at that point , assuming there’s an above average local player under the age of 30 who does all the running
Wouldnt surprise me at all if Case and Fab was 2-3 years older than they say they are… ;-)
Is Varane shit or what is the issue? Wouldn’t mind RM Varane at Spurs for 2 or 3 years…
He’s fantastic (Varane and Martinez is comfortably our most comfortable CB partnership) but his fitness has been a significant concern.
Varane was already declining at Madrid his last couple of years
United keep trying to create their own Galacticos but always end up with the Wish equivalent.
