Raphael Varane on his way to Manchester United?

Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane is a target for Manchester United, according to reports.

The Manchester Evening News claims that the Red Devils are looking to build their defence around England star Chris Smalling.

There is reportedly a three-man shortlist the club have drawn up. Varane is at the head of the list, also including Everton’s John Stones and Aymeric Laporte of Athletic Bilbao.

Varane may have a huge admirer at Old Trafford soon, with former manager Jose Mourinho potentially taking charge of the club in the summer.

Mourinho managed the Frenchman when he was in charge at the Bernabeu, and he remains a fan of the player.

Jose once said of the player, who he even signed for the Spanish giants in 2011: “I think he is the best young central defender in the world – already I think he’s the best.”

Varane is under contract with Real until 2020, with a ÂŁ25m release clause.
