Varela and Blackett not training with United apparently.
Both will be sold.

Regarding Blackett, I would not be surprised a bit. I never followed him when he left for Celtic on loan, but I read he did not get any gametime there. If the guy at 22 can't break into the Celtic team, he certainly can't here.

Varela bit surprises me a bit, as I think he is quite excellent going forward, but his defensive positioning and heading he struggled quite a bit.
I was impressed with him when he was attacking.
And the game against Liverpool, he was facing Coutinho and Coutinho can be a menace to defend against. He did perform well and it'd be a bit sad to see things nt working out. Best of luck to Varela.

Rohan,

Varela surprises me a little bit as he was ok when he came in last year, but I have a feeling mourinho doesn't want ok and will not just settle for players who look alright. I imagine Jose is looking at TFM to challenge Darmian at right back so that would mean varela is surplus to requirements at this stage.

Blackett - can't make it at Celtic then would struggle in a Championship team.
Varela - I really rate him but he's not the tall physically imposing fullback Mourinho seeks.

Both squad players at best though.

I don't quite get it either, personally I think Darmian is Rooney!

A new right back is defo needed!

Is this the same Celtic you describe as worse than a championship side who won the European Cup BEFORE United and every other team on these islands? We are every bit as big as a United, Barcelona or a Bayern. And before anyone says i am bringing United down i have also supported United for around fourty years. If we had the same tv money as United we would still be winning European trophies.

But I really rated Varela, Jose might be thinking of having a defensice RB, as our LB Shaw may be bombing forward and darmian/ tfm/ new signing making a back 3.
Or maybe Varela had 3-4 good games and isn't really that good ir Jose feels at 23 it would be better for his career to get more minutes than stay 3rd choice.

James, they obviously weren't championship standard back then, but now?

10 Jul 2016 20:46:29
We would walk the Championship, the reason Blackett didn't get game time was he wasnt good enough, he came on as a sub in one game and was subbed back off he was so poor, Janko who we also signed from United wasn't good enough for our first team either, so the standard can't be that bad Noucamp99. You should come up and witness the atmosphere on a CL night at Celtic Park then you will see the size of Celtic.
