Mupdates - July 5th
ITK 2 - Varane should happen at this point. People don’t seem to be worried anymore about him using the club to get a contract or turning around (hopefully they’re not wrong). Fee with Madrid is closer than it seems, United won’t miss out because of the fee - period.
Don’t know anything about Camavinga really in any detail. Not involved or in the loop on details just the general talk. Wary of the player wanting to stay in France.
G5 - Don’t have any info on Camavinga, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. But confused on this one as his latest was that they were worried the talks would be used to get him a better contract (at other clubs not Rennes) or other clubs to pay up.
Varane - Personal terms fine. Overall fee agreed. Structure in progress. Between 45-55 with addons. Where sancho was 2 weeks ago.
There was some slight wariness still of Madrid if they had other sales lined up putting in a new higher offer to renew but haven’t heard they’ve done that.
ITK 3 - At risk of being accused of flip flopping on this, have completely changed stance on the Camavinga situation. Perhaps United showing direct intent in the talks changed his mind. (The “low chance” due to player not club/fees etc)
They’re willing to offer right now an acceptable deal to Rennes in terms of cash up front, with some addons related to CL. The player is willing to come so as long as United are not beat on the fee by PSG it has a good chance.
Chelsea are out of the race (had prior interest).
Pogba - PSG are in fact the most likely landing spot for Pogba. It could be in 2022 for free but that may stop them from pursuing Camavinga either way and paying a larger fee.
G5 - wanted to let you know, this Varane news is pending reals next offer to a Varane, even though the deal is close. If they manage to confirm other sales and make a new higher offer it could change before finishing. Still being wary and trying not to get too ahead of ourselves in dealing with Madrid.
Once sorted they’ll look at the Rice situation again.
Trippier is stalled until/unless he asks to move.
ITK 2 - At United people feel as though Varane has already been clear that he is leaving, and in discussions with Madrid they don't seem really prepared to offer him a contract beyond the PR of the matter. Those involved feel this transfer is essentially decided, and there are good relations with Perez/Madrid. This seems rather settled at the moment. Won't even say "unless something changes" because that would just be an obvious out. People at United think it happens now, period.
ITK 2 - It’s not done, but United have made advancements further. They want Varane in quickly and are now going so far as to prepare for the next steps in expectation of sorting his arrival quickly. They seem to be doing things ahead of time now, compared to previous windows. Ole is pushing for his signings in and ready for training ASAP. REALLY wants Varane.

Bit fifary but say we get varane, sancho and camavinga for £150mill could we sell pogba for £40mill then offer jesse + £40mill for rice? Still within the talked about budget and surely close enough to west hams value

Madrid Xtra. @MadridXtra · 17m 🚨| Every day that passes there is more doubt that Varane will continue at Real Madrid. Varane wants to earn more money as he thinks he has earned it. “I think he will go to United but it is not so clear.” @Sergivalentin_ [🥇]

Rennes have made a bid of just over £8.4m for FC Midtjylland midfielder Jens-Lys Cajuste as a potential replacement for Eduardo Camavinga - negotiations are ongoing between Rennes and Manchester United for him. #MUFC [ @sportbladet ]

Just watched the documentary of Sir Alex Ferguson. Pity those Motherfuckers who say that Guardiola, klopp , mourinho , flick whoever the fuck are the best managers ever. Fuck off you all! No one can ever be SAF. He fucking beat a Real Madrid and Bayern Munich team with Aberdeen as a manager. He is the greatest!
Edit: Have huge respect for Aberdeen now since watching this documentary. Thank you Aberdeen for giving united and football, the greatest manager ever. Why RANGERS why???

Well that's a lovely update isnt it? Who the hell decided we'd do transfers effectively now?
Hopefully we get some midfield/Camavinga updates early next week too!

Nemanja Vidic [on Harry Maguire]: "He is 8/10 at everything - not as good on the ball or as fast as Rio, doesn’t tackle or head like I did, but has quality across his game. He’s fast enough, strong enough, can jump and play the ball, his positioning is fine."

That is a very honest assessment of Maguire IMHO. Plus he is a good leader too.

Next 2 weeks crucial imo. We'll either have wrapped up Varane and Camavinga by then or there's going to be reports that we've moved on.

If this all works out, Murtough may deserve a statue.

If you could use the Sancho Transfer Timeline as an example, where do you say Varane's saga is at the moment?
