Official: Raphael Varane to join Manchester United

Won’t be wearing number 4, apparently.

That’s TAKEN

Don't blame him tbh, as daunting as taking Baresi or Maldini's number.

I reckon he's more afraid of what Jones could do to him in training. "Accidentally".

Big Rafa Trying to take the number four off Phil…

where the £#%&! is he? has he actually signed ?

Medical today.

He’s been quarantining. Seems to be the player in Europe who has, but hey ho.

Bayern by Monday apparently.

Available numbers: 2, 14, 15, 16, 20, 24, 25, 28, 30, 32, 35, 36, 37, 40.

14 or 16 I reckon (unless Lingard takes 14 again )

Innit. Lukaku was training with Inter on Friday, is in France atm and is expected to sign for Chelsea tomorrow and play at weekend

Rules are different for United though, obvs.

I think 12 is free..?

Only question now is what other delays can the FA/PL/Government concoct to prolong this even further..

Speaking of numbers I see Messi got the number 30 shirt at PSG
Weird £#%&!ing number for him wear

Another thing I hate about the modern game, players with strange numbers for their position

And picking the name that goes on their shirt.

Think that was the number he wore when he broke into the Barcelona side with Ronaldinho wearing 10. Bit like Scholes going back to 22 when he came back after retiring.

He's supposed to be in Monaco. If Lukaku is fully vaccinated, there's no reason for him to quarantine.

France is Amber plus right?

It was, until the other day (Sunday I think). Which is probably why Varane needs to isolate if he's been there recently.

France is now back to Amber. Monaco and France don't come under the same guidance though, they are listed as separate entities by the FCO.

Quite rightly so, can't have all those french peasants associated with the grand kingdom.
