‘It’s not easy to reject Mourinho’

Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane has explained that he had the choice to join Manchester United this summer, and chose not to.

The French defender, who is contracted to Real Madrid until 2020, was wanted by Jose Mourinho as part of his rebuilding job at Old Trafford.

However, Varane rejected his advances to remain with Real in Spain – a decision motivated by his relationship with Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane.

‘Of course it’s flattering. Manchester United are a very big club. But from the moment when Madrid and I are in sync on my project, there’s no questions to ask yourself,’ Varane told Canal+.

‘I have always said I feel good in Madrid. It’s not easy to say no to Jose Mourinho, but you have to weigh up the pros and the cons.

‘We’re men, we have decisions to make and that’s how it is.’

Varane has made 165 appearances for Real in all competitions.
