“That was why they sold the both of them to Manchester United so. It was a trap and a very big setup. They should be sued for they did”-Thierry Henry has finally explained why Real Madrid were so keen to sell Raphael Varane and Casemiro to Man Utd. 🗣”They have plans, they always do it this way and they have been doing it for years”.

Thierry Henry recently shared his insights into Real Madrid’s decision to part ways with Raphael Varane and Casemiro, who both made significant moves to Manchester United.

While Varane’s arrival at Old Trafford for £34 million in 2021 and Casemiro’s subsequent £70 million transfer garnered attention, neither player fully met the high expectations set by fans. Varane’s stint was plagued by injuries, leading to speculations about his departure at the end of the current season. Meanwhile, Casemiro, despite making a notable impact, faced a three-month absence due to injury.

Real Madrid’s choice to offload these players at what appeared to be their prime raised eyebrows, but Henry commended the club for strategically nurturing a team that balances seasoned veterans with promising young talents. He pointed out that the potential addition of Kylian Mbappe could create a squad capable of dominating both European and domestic competitions for years, thanks to the youthful talent at Real Madrid’s disposal.

Henry praised Real Madrid’s knack for timing player departures, citing examples like Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil, and Varane, whom he speculated had underlying knee issues. Despite Casemiro being the youngest of the midfield trio alongside Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, Real Madrid recognized the emergence of younger talents like Valverde, Tchouameni, and Camavinga, aiming to seamlessly integrate them into the squad.

In essence, Henry acknowledged Real Madrid’s astuteness in managing player transitions, especially bidding farewell to revered figures who played pivotal roles in the club’s past success.
