‘Arsenal Fans Hate Seeing This Seriously’ ‘Tears In My Eyes’ United Supporters Make Claim As Club Close In On 43M Transfer

Manchester United are said to be close to agreeing a deal to sign Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane with reports in Spain claiming that the Red Devils will only pay slightly above €50m (£43m) for the defender.

It has led to a number of fans on Twitter comparing the potential transfer with Arsenal’s £50m move for Brighton’s Ben White, with many claiming United have got the much better deal:

To be fair, there are a lot of different factors which means it isn’t really a fair comparison. Varane has one year left on his contract and has asked to leave the Bernabeu so he was always going to be available for a lower price.

White is also five years younger and the Gunners are taking a risk on the player, hoping he realises his potential. On balance, you would still have to say United would be getting better value for money, but it is not as straightforward as some would have you believe.
