Must be fun for Varane to wake up to this.

Fuck off did they. They were clowning on everyone saying they've signed the best defender in the world and they're winning everything?

Captain Hindsight strikes again.

[–] daniel-mca@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Weird way of admitting your scout did a shite job

[–] Fmartins84@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He was great for them.... Buyers remorse?

[–] xxandl@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Man United is a bit like a dude returning a used dildo.

My man, you looked at it, you thought you might like it, you bought it, you took it home, you tried it, it was ass, now it reeks of you and no-one wants it...

Bayern laughing in Schweini and Hargreaves

[–] IndividualMarket22@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been saying Varane is overrated since like 2015, jokes on ManU for not evaluating the player correctly.

[–] rednades@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn he was carried to a handful of champions and a World Cup

he wasn't even great at madrid. got saved by back line of ramos, marcelo and carvajal and casemiro doing lot of defensive work. he had issues at madrid as well. what was united even expecting to just get player without any research

[–] MH18Foot@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Rather than hold the manager who got us out of the League Cup and Champions League and sitting 8th in the table, let's scapegoat the 4 time CL winner and world champion who's our best defender when fit on his day.

This club is too despicable.

[–] I_like_trains_mkaay@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Id rate martinez, awb and shaw over him currently. Comfortably too. Man is not at his peak anymore lol.

[–] rednades@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He is 30… maybe something is being done wrong with his rehab, training etc but no that can’t possibly be it.

[–] badgarok725@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well the club isn’t doing it

[–] samarth67@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Will be saying the same for mount next year.

[–] Ballawallakalla@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (6 children)

One of the strangest signings I've ever seen

Uniteds transfer department must be full of clowns

[–] onewonyuan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Friendly reminder that Mason Mount cost only 4x as much as Julian Alvarez.

Mount is a fantastic player, you could see his quality even in his short time here. It's just the wrong fit. We already have Bruno, buying him just makes no sense.

They're already saying it, because they spent boatloads on a player they already have and he's sitting on the bench. Idk who it is, or if this many people are collectively clueless, but Ronaldo at least made sense on a sentimental note, Mount wasn't needed whatsoever and it makes no sense to have him.

[–] DarthNihilus1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

But I thought you guys won the Varane vs White signing debate???????

[–] Mr_Miscellaneous@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Strangely, it seems like "Having a plan and buying talented, ambitious players" might be a better idea than "throw more money than nearly every club in the world at high profile players/players that have won nearly everything".

[–] Shane4894@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Blame your own scouts ffs…

[–] themerinator12@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Man U should've taken a page out of the University of Michigan's book and paid someone to watch globally televised matches.

[–] Justinian2@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Talksport is just bait headlines talking shite for clicks.

[–] bluedoorhinge@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Doesn’t matter on this sub as long as it’s a post shitting on united

What a disgusting club, it's always someone else's fault.

[–] thedudeabides-12@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (6 children)

"Manchester United fans were deceived by the signing of Raphael Varane, according to Gabriel Agbonlahor"... If you say so...

So everyone that kept saying that he was a better deal than White before the 21/21 season were wrong? Im so shocked

[–] reyansh28@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

when will united realise that the neverending flow good player who cant play good specifically at united is not a player problem

[–] Lloydy15@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Talksport is the daily mail of sports "journalism"

[–] shakenbake3001@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They're right. The problem has to be the 4x Champions League/World Cup winning, past his prime CB. Couldn't have anything to do with the instability of the club in the past decade.

[–] Willem20@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

/r/soccer: "somehow we still think this is Ten hags fault. Bald fraud."

[–] Flexi_102@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Man utd is having a buying remorse lmao

[–] Quacky33@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He played over 200 times for Madrid, theres not a lot of deception about his abilities on the pitch.

[–] Patrik_js@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And won quite a few trophies while being a starter. Obviously not a Man Utd quality player.

It's Agbonlahor saying it not United FFS.

[–] GhostRiders@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Talksport... Famous for their clickbait headlines made by Ex-Footballers who have won fuck all

Reddit Soccer Sub... Famous for believing any headline they read and making themselves look like mindless morons

[–] concurd@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He has been our best centre back a majority of the time he plays? The issue are the injuries which is unfortunate. You can’t say he hasn’t tried to adjust either, he retired from international football at 30.

Tomorrow news: Ajax deceived us with deal for overrated Ten Haag

[–] Krilox@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mat utd is reaaaally off the rails

[–] stebus88@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Did they really deceive us though? He was injury-prone at Madrid as well, it’s not as though that was a secret.

He didn’t play well last night but in general his form isn’t the issue, he’s just unreliable. He lasts maybe 4 or 5 games max before he picks up an injury that sidelines him for a month.

I’d be very surprised if we don’t try and move him on next summer. The issue is, he is contracted to 2025 and is on enormous wages, a move to Saudi is our only hope.

[–] pratap_10@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

😂🤣 Yup and they were also deceived when the bought Pogba , Di Maria , Sancho,sanchez,falcao,mkhiki and other world class talents.

[–] rednades@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Varane moved at what 26/27? As Champions league/World Cup winner with his prime years ahead. What a joke of a statement lmao

[–] AnxiousZombeh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

As soon as someone quotes talksport it should be an immediate removal of post. Gutter media press.

I would just like to say I called it when he left. It was glaringly obvious but most people didn’t want to see it.

[–] GAV17@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not gonna watch that video, but the article has nothing to do with the title. Like there's not one reference about anyone from ManU even talking about Varane, let alone complaining to Real.

[–] tenacious-g@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

ETH is Principal Skinner.

[–] devildance3@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

World Cup winner Raphael Varane? That Varane?

[–] daidpndnt_src@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Such a bs misleading headline to stir the pot! It’s said by a gossip town podcaster, nothing to see here

[–] SecretEmergency372@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He's too good for United and he knows it. So psychplogically he is not interested. United need a mirror when they start accusing people of shit.
