The transfer market is really getting silent and whenever it's like this, trust me, there are bigger talks going on underneath, it's just for us to begin to hear different shocking signings towards the ending of the transfer window.
I would like to tour around a bit about the transfer window and majorly about Manchester United's moves, proposed moves, and assumed moves!
It's not really a news anymore that Manchester United had been on the trail of Raphael Varane since the opening of the transfer window but the news people are currently waiting for is actually the announcement of his signing by Manchester United. It's a sure fact that Manchester United needs to sign a CB before the transfer window closes.
The 28 years old Frenchman who has spent at over 9 years at Real Madrid now actually has just one year left on his contact with Madrid and properly looking at the whole scenario, I personally think it's the best time for Madrid to actually catch out on Varane. He's getting quite old and Madrid has Militao to replace him, a player who's currently performing well and also has a lot of years ahead of him but I think they're also thinking about the effects it would bring on the team to lose both Ramos and Varane at the same time.
Personally, I've been of the opinion that United gets a challenging option for Wan Bissaka, not necessarily because he's more of a defensive player than an attacker but I feel he gets to play too much of the games for United and that's not really a good thing for a defender like him. Having Trippier at Manchester United, I don't really see much of a competition in that, maybe for this short time but Bissaka definitely has more years to offer compare to 30 years old Trippier but all the same Manchester United needs a supporter for Bissaka, it could be someone else or Trippier but following the news on that, United has made a very funny and low bid for Trippier and I don't really think Atletico Madrid would let Trippier go for that little piece.
As a United fan, I've been so happy since the signing of Jordan Sancho and I wasn't and I'm not still expecting any big players to leave United at the moment, but lately there has been this huge talks on Pogba leaving United for Paris Saint German. In as much as it might not really affect United and United might be able to cash in big on him, I personally don't like him leaving yet. United is gradually getting to that stage whereby trophies are visible and Pogba shouldn't be a player that would go missing before then.
I've also read about the back up plan United probably has if peradventure Pogba leaves.
United are still biting tongues, should incase Pogba leaves, he's 28 now and United won't dare to sell him below £60M and it would still be a good deal to go for the German and Bayern Munich 26 years old Leon Goretzka who United is likely to purchase less than £50M. Though he doesn't have the name like Pogba does but he isn't that bad of a replacement considering the fact that he is still two years younger than Pogba.
Would Pogba actually leave?
Well, Pogba has refuses to sign a new contract and that's a bit scary as far as Manchester United is concerned but I'm not so worried, Pogba is a very dramatic person, it could just be for the attention but we never can tell since it's PSG and just PSG alone that's trying to get the attention of the world class midfielder.
Camavinga! This youngster, I've seen a couple of this guy's highlights and I can also say, he has a future, if United would be able to nail him down, it would be a great investment that could keep yielding for the next 10 years. The lad is just 18 years old and has played in a very matured roles and positions for Rennes (a team in French League 1). But the question is........
Can Camavinga get a playing time in this current United?
I really can't answer that, and I very much doubt that, he's a big fish but I don't think signing for United at this point in time would help his career that much.
There has been a lot of talks on Van De Beek still being a United player. I personally felt terrible about the guy's career at United, he barely gets the time to play and I thought it would be great to have him leave this team this summer, only for me to read that he is planning to fight for his place in the team this season and I wonder what that fight would look like!
Have you also heard about Everton's strong interest in Lingard?
This is currently another news bordering me at the moment. In as mush as I know United need to sell out some players this summer and make some cash to build up the team, I don't see Lingard as one of those who should use the door, and I'm glad that the team's Manager (Ole Gunner) also wants him to stay but in the world of football, thing can get really scary and creepy whenever there's a bid from a team for a player, and if the bid happens to be a big and serious one, even strong decisions would change!
I can't wait to see the transfer window come to an end and then see United finally get to sign one more defensive midfielder and a Centre Back!
