Will United make move to sign him?
Manchester United are interested in signing Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane this summer.
It is thought that the Real star is ‘in talks’ with Jose Mourinho over a possible move to Old Trafford, and the United boss also wants to sign his Madrid teammate, Alvaro Morata.
Any deal for the France centre-back would likely involve United keeper David De Gea moving in the opposite direction.
Real are willing to splash £60million on the United star as they look to make amends for their disastrous attempt two years ago, where a paperwork error denied the signing from happening on deadline day.
Madrid view Varane as an indispensable player and a future star, but Mourinho has been unable to nail down a centre-bac pairing this season and wants to bring another defender in this summer.
Eric Bailly, a £30m summer signing from Villarreal, is a regular for the Red Devils, but question marks remain over the remaining position.
Marcos Rojo has filled in well this season but Mourinho prefers to play him at left-back when possible.
