Manchester United's new ruthless and relentless pursuit of Raphael Varane has signalled the beginning of a new era at Old Trafford – and it even stretched to a presentation by the club's newlook backroom staff to finally land their long-term target.
Led by director of football negotiations Matt Judge, the Red Devils' usual complex process of negotiating deals, which has been heavily criticised in the past, is no more with Judge now spearheading the club's new transfer policy.
According to The Telegraph, Judge's keen and sharp eye in the presentation helped wow the Frenchman before they finally agreed a deal in principle earlier this week.
