The club management's decisive move to sell Martial obviously scared Rashford. That afternoon, Rashford, witnessed by Rowley and Solskjaer, apologized to head coach Mourinho for his earlier remarks; and accepted an exclusive interview with Manchester United TV: In the interview, Rashford talked about his childhood experiences and reiterated his family's deep love for Manchester United; the interview mentioned that he had played for Manchester United since he was a child, and his family had refused life-changing money from other teams for his dream; when he was a child, he took several buses to attend training, and he also bought tickets to Old Trafford by winning prize money in a five-a-side match; faced with invitations from various clubs, he finally chose to return to Manchester United and fight for it. "

With Rashford's apology, Manchester United gradually regained its composure. Manchester United management, led by Rowley, continued to rush for signings.

On August 2, an important meeting was underway in Manchester United's office. Rowley, Nicky Butt, Solskjaer, Mourinho, Scholes, Van Nistelrooy and other six-member Manchester United transfer decision-making team were on the list.

Rowley sat behind a huge desk, looking solemnly at the agent opposite, Mino Raiola. Raiola, a famous agent in the football world, is known for his shrewd and tough negotiation style.

"Mino, we all know Varane's strength. He is exactly the defensive backbone that Manchester United urgently needs now." Solskjaer said straight to the point.

Raiola smiled slightly and showed a confident look: "Sochaux, you are right, Rafael is one of the top central defenders in the world. But Real Madrid will not let their star players go easily. "

"We are willing to make a sincere offer. "Manchester United has always been interested in Varane, and now is the time to bring him here," Solskjaer responded. Raiola tapped his fingers on the table: "It's not just about money, Rafael also needs to consider his career development. He has won everything in Real Madrid, and now he needs a new challenge." Solskjaer nodded: "Manchester United can provide him with this challenge. The fierce competition in the Premier League and Manchester United's rich heritage are all attractive to him. Moreover, our coach Mourinho admires him very much and believes that he can achieve greater success here. " "Wait a minute, I need to discuss it with Rafael." After that, Raiola went out to make a phone call. Varane was sitting in his home at this time, his heart was full of entanglements. Real Madrid was where he grew up and became famous, but Zidane's departure made him a little confused about the future. And Manchester United is a club full of history and passion, and the fierce confrontation in the Premier League also made him excited. "Rafael, you need to make a decision. "Agent Raiola said, "This is an important turning point in your career."

Varane fell into deep thought, recalling every bit of his time at Real Madrid. Those championship trophies won with his teammates, those passionate moments on the field... But he also knew clearly that he needed new challenges and an environment that would allow him to continue to grow and improve.

Finally, Varane said to Raiola on the other end of the phone: "Mino, I have decided to join Manchester United."

"Okay, I will help you get a big contract. "

After some tough negotiations, the two sides finally reached a preliminary agreement on Varane's personal terms. As long as Real Madrid approves Manchester United's offer, the contract can take effect.
