- According to talkSPORT, Manchester United wants to tempt Real Madrid talent Raphael Varane to the Old Trafford.
- Back in 2011, United attempted to land the young Frenchman but La Liga giants, Real Madrid, won out thanks to an intervention from Zinedine Zidane.
- Raphael still has 4-years left on his current contract but Ancelotti, new coach of Real Madrid, is eager to ward off interest by offering the youngster a 2-year extension and improved financial terms.
