Because he’s coming from a different country 🙄😒

Cmart Nate Martin

totally agree its a bloody joke and embarrassing he had his medical in France this is why at this moment the club is a joke francis i cant believe we are going to let pogba go on a free again  if i was utd i stick pogba in the reserves and then he can run down his contract playing for them

Nicholas Silva

Plastic fans !! Not happy with anything Man U buy or sell !! If winning all quiet if losing they blamed the manager n so on , why can’t these fools just accept that premiership is getting harder n harder year by year . U have to build foundation , that’s what Ole is trying to do . If anyone can’t see that better of support Man city !

Denis Chand

No…. but the UK is operating a traffic light system to different countries… some require quarantine even with vaccines and others don’t.. it’s not one rule for every country!

And competing against bigger spending power!

and Lukaku is also from a different country

Francis Kawuuki

I’ve already answered that above.
Not from same country as Varane though is it?

I wonder why everything about man utd moves slowly. How on earth can Chelsea announce lukaku before utd announces verane. Utd claimed that he was quarantined, why is it that lukaku has not had to undergo quarantine ??

Marlon brando 

you're absolutely right brother!!!! I love your comments..not ready yet for trophy..

The Pride Of Texas !!!

That’s absolutely true, we sold our best striker to Milan just because Ole wants English fans to be happy by pushing Rashford to no 9. Just look at what TT is doing at Chelsea and the trophies he has acquired in just one year. I don’t think our fans would’ve allowed the board to fire Ole and bring in such manager

Ehisman

why some of u like to moan   y not go support another club

Rohan Callendar

Why can't you appreciate what you got. We had the best summer in 16years all thanks to John yet you call him poor decision maker. 
Cavani's extended break was agreed at close of last season just to convince him to sign the contract extension since all he cared about was his family and there's nothing wrong with that.

Nenye Okanumee

Nothing to appreciate. Slow, inept, inefficient and incapable three stooges. It’s a long saga that till now they couldn’t unvail Varane’s arrival. Is it efficiency?  These people count penny but omits pound. Pogba is a reluctant horse. You can’t drink a reluctant horse. His wicked agent Mino Raiola advised him to pass out the coming 12 months and then leave free to have a hefty salary. And he is silent. When he, his agent and his talkative brother hinted that his time is over in MU he should have been sold with premium. No body is indispensable for Manchester United. Many great players have left Manchester United. Is Manchester United threatened for relegation ?  It was the question of decision. De Gea’s efficiency was while declaring what
 was the use of paying him £375 k weekly salary and extend his contract . Now he says he has long time in his contract and wants to fight for no.1. Why Phil Jones’ service  was extended ? Is it effective decision making. Lots of examples can be set. But I assume it’s useless. But according to your word, in 16 years, two good players have been signed but one player can’t be unvailed now and the most important opening game of the season is to be played against Leeds United  who are disciplined and most attacking team without Cavani and Varane. I hope we are not insulted like last season’s opening match at Old Trafford with Chrystal Palace.

Md Gholam Mustafa

You may have complacency for  best shopping in 16 years but are they available to face Leeds United in the opening game of the season as they are a very good attacking team. I wish we should not be insulted in last season’s opening game against Chrystal Palace.

Varane went for the quarantine for him to have an epic opening... Lukaku chose to be unveiled befor his quarantine. 
Phil was a mistake. Ole gave him an extension cos he felt Jones still got what SAF saw in him 10years ago. Tho m not an Ole fan but nobody is above mistake.

Now concerning Pogba, there is nothing wrong with a Player desiring to leave and it's not his fault that there's no bid for him. Varane was in the same situation at Santiago, RM was lucky to get a buyer. Haaland wants to come to England, Kane refused to show up for training, Camavinga refused an extension... just to mention a few. but that doesn't mean that Paul isn't worldclass. For now, he is a United Player moreover today he didn't play like someone that wants to leave, so leave him alone

Manchester United is run by people like Ed Woodward, John Mortough and Ole Gunnar Solskijer. They are so poor in decision making that people have become annoyed. I want to ask them a question why Varane is being delayed to announce? What kind of agreement with has been made with Cavani that after his international commitment he can delay for an indefinite period to join Manchester United as Manchester has got an important opening season game with Leeds United who are really an attacking team. Most of their players are practicing month long other than a few. If the players have no responsibility for club duty how can they be dedicated to the cause of the club.
