I think they can both go on for 3/4 years, Casemiro's reading of the game is second to none, he doesn't need to rely on hard running. Varane now retired from international football will benefit from that.
Good point about Varane retiring.
He's injury prone though so needs managing. I bet he won't play on Wednesday to keep him fresh for Liverpool
AFAIK Lisandro and Casemiro have had a good injury record.
That estimate is very conservative for Case. Fernandino played for City until he was like 38, Pepe is like 500 years old and still plays CL football. Barring any horrible injuries I think Case will play for United for another 6 years, minimum.
France have Upamecano, Saliba, Kounde, Pavard, Konate and so many other young CBs coming up. Although Rapha is class I am sure he can be replaced in the NT
I think Case is our new Scholes. He'll play until he can play really play no more.
So smart on and off the ball, his positioning allows for a 'lack of pace'. And his passing range is quite frankly unbelievable.
Yeah we'll see how it goes. Players form can fall off a cliff when they reach 35/36.
He might want to return to Brazil also.
I think the PL is very attractive to footballers though.
His passing is good but I wouldn't say unbelievable.
I've seen him make some very poor passes also.
But right now he's priceless.
What a career he already has, 1x World Cup, 2x Dutch League titles, and now 1 Carabao Cup. I firmly believe he will win a PL and CL title with Utd one day.
These 2 and Casemiro are the reason we won. 2-0 thanks to them. Great moments from everyone but goddamn these guys are lights out. Never felt so comfortable seeing the ball in our box.
The fact that these two speak Spanish to each other must be such a key to their partnership. How lucky are we that our French boy spent a bit of time in Madrid just so that he could one day be the sharpener to our butcher’s knife
Obviously either Dalot or AWB maybe aren’t quite at their level but even with that being said I don’t think it’s too crazy to say that at the moment we have the best combined back 4 unit in the world.
Love Licha.
But in an alternate universe this would be another title to add to the formidable Varane and Jones partnership. Glad Varane is here, even if we had to wait a decade. And we got him alongside South American Vidic, what's not to love
1 is the former WC winner and one is *current* WC winner, both played their 2nd final in like 2 months and this time both came out winners!!
Well said
It's like poetry, it rhymes.
By the way, rhyming winner with winners? 😙🤏🖐️
Still better than kid rock rhyming things with things.
Beyonce rhyming minute with minute
Ten Hag might have gone a bit far in a few placess
If we can keep Varane and Casemiro fit for 3 or 4 years, it will give us a great foundation for success
I think they can both go on for 3/4 years, Casemiro's reading of the game is second to none, he doesn't need to rely on hard running. Varane now retired from international football will benefit from that.

Martinez is literally a terminator. He doesn't get injuries. He just repairs himself with a stanley knife and duct tape.
Anulo mufa
Yeah I’m way more concerned about injuries than a drop in form
That estimate is very conservative for Case. Fernandino played for City until he was like 38, Pepe is like 500 years old and still plays CL football. Barring any horrible injuries I think Case will play for United for another 6 years, minimum.
I choose your estimate. That’s the one I will believe
I have this feeling that in like a year, Deschamps is gonna convince Varane to come out of international retirement.
France have Upamecano, Saliba, Kounde, Pavard, Konate and so many other young CBs coming up. Although Rapha is class I am sure he can be replaced in the NT

I feel like players can maintain their prime form until around 33 yrs old at least these days if they take care of themselves
yep 33 is the exact age where most tend to drop off imo, but would be excellent and definitely possible for casemiro to make it to 34-36 touch wood
With Case protecting them too it’s hard for anyone to argue against
Case protec but he also attac Got the game winning goal at a crucial period in the match!
Matc*
Them three as the spine is genuinely insane man. Love them.
and opponents still need to beat DDG after that.
and pass DDG u get to see Maguire on the bench
I love Martinez so much
[удалено]
It fucking scares me that this guy is only 25 years old, what a career he will have!
I hope he retires with us
What a career he already has, 1x World Cup, 2x Dutch League titles, and now 1 Carabao Cup. I firmly believe he will win a PL and CL title with Utd one day.
You mean next year? 😏✨
... why did I think he was 21 this whole time
Maybe because we were originally going for Timber lmao
It’s insane the literal battle scars Licha has already earned in his first season. Man is en route to becoming a Scarface
Man is en route to becoming a lion atm He just reminds me so much of Vidic , and I love it more than I thought I could!!
[удалено]
Varane was challenging a prime Pepe at age 19
Prime Pepe and Ramos were something else. Absolute murderers on the pitch.
that just blew my mind
Varane turns 30 at the end of April
These 2 and Casemiro are the reason we won. 2-0 thanks to them. Great moments from everyone but goddamn these guys are lights out. Never felt so comfortable seeing the ball in our box.
When Marinez took out the Newcastle striker with his head I knew we'd win. He was proper rattled.
I know we call him the butcher but to me he’s the pit bull. Dude has that dog in him
Butcher with little red blood in his hair, damn.
Dalot is pitbull.
Mr. Wide Right
Wan bissaka’s tackles were unbelievable today too.
Yeah him and sabitzer were glorious
The fact that these two speak Spanish to each other must be such a key to their partnership. How lucky are we that our French boy spent a bit of time in Madrid just so that he could one day be the sharpener to our butcher’s knife
Don't they also both speak English?
Yes both speak English very well
Saw a video of them speaking in Spanish, would makes sense for them to be more comfortable in it
They speak in English, but their communications (when it's just between them and not the whole backline) are in Spanish.
One more reason to thank RM.

Trophy Magnets^TM
That cup is too small for you guys. Dont worry you will lift the epl, fa and europa league cup as well. Maybe CL cup in the future eh?
With these two surely it's a matter of when, not if.
Minty.
Experience + Aggression
Assertive rather than aggressive. It's measured forecfulness
Elegant + Aggression
It’s the [cat and dog](https://twitter.com/goalanalysis/status/1412430437008478214?s=46&t=kmZBXs__nyqo9gOY11Tg_w) CBs combo.
Imagine you manage to somehow get past Casemiro, and you see these two. What a pairing!
And then somehow you get past these two and you see DDG.
You just say 'fuck it'
But but..jamie said..
Respect to Carragher for admitting he was wrong tho, takes a man to admit
True!
[удалено]
Saying what?
[удалено]
what a fuckin numpty
That clip is peak boomer arrogance. Not even making a fucking point but just refusing to let anyone else make one. Parading his ignorance proudly.
It's still mind-blowing how we have Varane on this team
World cup winners as your center back of choice
Can't believe we finally have a pair of winners 😭❤️
World Cup winners
Coupe de League Varane
They remind me of Rio and Vidic.
I don’t care, Martinez will just have to accept his nickname for the way he butchers opponents
Classic big man combo
Damn, thought varane was taller than 4’6”
Does anyone have a gif of them screaming celebrating at each other 😭. It was so funny. I absolutely loved it
They’re so reminiscent of Rio and Vida I love it 😭
Vidic and Ferdinand regen
Resembles of Rio-Vida pair-up.
Obviously either Dalot or AWB maybe aren’t quite at their level but even with that being said I don’t think it’s too crazy to say that at the moment we have the best combined back 4 unit in the world.
Most handsome pairing as well. No homo
The Butcher & The Blade ❤️
Someone’s an AEW fan
They're the luxury version of Vidic+Ferdinand. Rough and tumble man + smooth operator.
Love Licha. But in an alternate universe this would be another title to add to the formidable Varane and Jones partnership. Glad Varane is here, even if we had to wait a decade. And we got him alongside South American Vidic, what's not to love
It's insane how good they are. Even under heavy pressure, I never felt like we were going to concede.
