A bunch of this news is getting rehashed, but we should see more activity this week as players report back for pre-season. We won't get anything today or tomorrow, but by this Sunday, we should have a major development.

If we can get this guy AND a CDM i'd be confident we could do something next season. Exciting squad on our hands
My point is, he is now probably at his best, and we need to win now or as soon as possible, we don't need more youngsters or half developed CBs. If anything, CBs should almost always be the most experienced players in the team, because of the importance they have.
Just look at Italy.
Age is certainly not a problem, just look at the team who have won the Euro Championship.
Most defenders seem to peak in late twenties, early thirties, so if (big if) Varane did sign for us, I would envisage a three year contract, with a possible fourth year.
The main problem (other than using United's name to get a bigger and better contract at RM), would be whether Varane is still hungry enough to push himself every game.

Would form an absolutely monstrous partnership with Maguire. We hired a set piece coach too
Yeah this thread has gone proper weird, maybe it’s all the misery after last nights result?So there's been reports from Spain, France and now the UK confirming that he'd be keen on joining and that the club is actively trying to make it happen...
Would've thought there'd be a hint of positivity in here
Not sure if it's time to unzip already or not
I don't think its gone weird at all nothings changed for a little bit, we're all positive and believe it'll happen, but there's been nothing to really get all 
over for a good few days at least.

Reminds me of that league 1 or 2 manager about 10-15 years ago whose half-time pep-talk was that the players had to win this game so the club could afford to buy better players
Oh you got me all aboard. Choo chooIt seems someone still hesitate to join the muppets.
Man Utd's Varane pursuit continues , Simon Stone, BBC Sport
This will happen, I have no doubt. Varane will play for Manchester United next season.
Ooh, that confidence is telling. I still have my doubts, mind you, but the fact that we're seriously in for this gives me a bit of hope.
I'll be very surprised if we don't sign him.
So...when would you say the big day would arrive?
Thanks!
Once he returns from his hols, I expect him to say his goodbyes at Real Madrid and head over to Manchester to experience the EPL.
I'm confused. You stated you didn't want him because of his age and yet your saying he's at his best and we need to win now (( which I agree we need to win now))
So you want him now. ?
It was a joke.
When it's confirmed that we've bid
better keep it in your pants as otherwise you'll be holding it for quite a long time
Yeah, sorry, it was sarcasm.
It's harder to get it from a written post.
Does anybody take SSN seriously anymore?
I dunno. I thought it was fairly obvious.
For positive news? Yes, of course
Yeah its always obvious when it's pointed out to you isn't it.
No need to be narky. Jaysus
This is a done deal.
Who's next?
Who's next?
Camavinga of course.
Sky sports news saying we are up against PSG for this, that’s the first I have heard of their interest
sky's news is 3 weeks old
They just signed Ramos for feck sake.
NachitoTV is exactly the kind of source we need.
I chose to believe him more than Fjörtoft

With a name like NachitoTV it's hard not to trust them and believe this is all but done.
