These posts add no value but just generate clicks. How would Gabby who is not related to United in any way know what United is thinking. It’s not like United was sat sulking in a pub and he ran into it and asked. What a BS article.

The fax machine sends it's regards

So this is a pundit telling Man U that Madrid decided them over Varane? This is such non-news it should be deleted from the sub. Absolutely trash

[–] Vkardash@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Guy gets one hand ball and now he's the problem. 😂. United are toxic and rotten to the core from top to bottom. Sad to see really

[–] RyVsWorld@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The title of this article is completely different from the actual content in the article. The article is about an old Aston Villa player saying how poor Varane and Case have been.

There really should be more vetting when it comes to articles that are allowed to be posted here.

But its always a race here to post the latest article on United

This is not the opinion of anyone at the club, this is just ramblings of a fucking idiot. Gabby Agbonlahor of the shitrag that is TalkSport. And some quotes from Scholes as well.

As for the actual premise, it is ridiculous to suggest that a buyer club can be "deceived" when it comes to a player that has played a shitload of games for the seller club. We didn't buy Varane because someone told us he was good, we bought him because his quality was evident. No one was "deceived", that's just TalkSport being the shitrag that it's always been.

Now, I do agree that he isn't exactly a leader, or a transformative player like van Dijk or Diaz, but he is damn good when he's in form and in the right partnership, we saw it last season.

There is a reason Maguire-Varane isn't a pairing we see often: it doesn't really work. This is why Maguire-Evans has been our go-to in the absence of Martinez.

Greenwood deceived them he was a good person. When shown that he wasn't United still wanted him. Fuck off

Are we taking Talksport's words as gospel now? LMAO

[–] EssexHaze@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I thought he was going to be fantastic, surprised how it turned out

[–] essentialatom@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks, Gabby Agbonlahor, I'm sure everybody'll fuckin listen to you

[–] AppleMFingJuice@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ooooooh here comes the buyers remorse.

[–] Big_brown_bull_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hahahhahaahaaha pre retirement vacation for our players hahhahahaha

[–] MalcolmTucker88@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Should've put 'according to Gabriel Agbonlahor' in the title, so we all could've saved our time and ignored this article.

[–] simpodemayo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

well maybe you deserve it for clicking it despite it being from the clowns at talkshite my friend!

[–] dontcarenotbothered@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Put some respect on Jonny Evans’ back-up’s name.

[–] anonuemus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Man United, where players go to die.

[–] your_nan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Baseless dribble like this gets upvoted because people want to believe due to Utd being in the mid at the moment. Genuine cringe headlines made for clicks and nerds for falling for it.

[–] dracovich@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Honestly noone should be buying big names from Madrid, they seem like masters at getting rid of players at the right time.

[–] youknowimworking@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

In FM, before buying an important player, I check their injury history. If a nobody like me can take 5 minutes to check something like that then Maybe United should, you know, check on small things like that before buying. Do the diligent work.

I wouldn't buy Neymar for example. I don't care how good he is. I need my players to actually be able to play at like 85% of my matches.

[–] TheB11Ace@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That's just the man united effect.

[–] DaddyMeUp@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Talkshite back at it again.

[–] AkilleezBomb@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Don’t remember all of this talk about Varane when United finished with the most clean sheets in the PL last season.

Yeah making fun of United and their scouting is fun, but it’s a bit of an overreaction considering the entire team is underperforming right now.

[–] Scofield442@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Why is this trash on /r/soccer. Surely we're better than this.

[–] HarshangLad@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bunch of friends writing this at the pub

[–] TremendousCoisty@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Delete this shite, it’s clickbaity and misleading. Plus it’s from TalkSport, so it doesn’t deserve anyone’s attention.

[–] churrosricos@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

lmao this is a tiktok level title

[–] BlueLabel19@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How does this work? Do they not have scouts and ask clubs 'nicely' how much their players are worth? Its not like real manipulated his stats or anything.

[–] RedDevil-84@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Talksport ya right!!

[–] fastcooljosh@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Aother Papa Perez masterclass, he had Varane in his prime and decided to sell him the moment his performance started to decline.

[–] garynevilleisared@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Why not just say Agbonlahor is the one saying this? Not that anyone is seriously thinking Varanes ability is overrated, which it's not. When he's been 100% fit we've looked impenetrable. But he's made of glass and exactly why we should have bought a CB instead of Amrabat this summer.

[–] jersey-city-park@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The thing is some players benefit from playing alongside world class players and it makes them look better than they really are. Id say Varane was a solid player, anyone who expected him to be world class is insane. Same thing with Casemiro
