Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane puts Manchester United on red alert as he considers his future

Real Madrid centre-back Raphael Varane has put Manchester United on red alert over his future, with L’Equipe reporting that the France international is considering leaving Spain’s capital.

Despite the return of his compatriot Zinedine Zidane, who was appointed as Los Blancos’ boss for a second time earlier this month, Varane is rumoured to be interested in pursuing options away from the Santiago Bernabeu.

The 25-year-old, a World Cup winner with his country last summer in Russia, has four Champions League winners medals, two La Liga titles, three European Super Cups, four Club World Cups and a Copa del Rey during a trophy-laden eight years with Real.

However, with Madrid having struggled to live up to expectations both domestically and in Europe throughout the course of the current  season, Varane, who has featured 40 times in all competitions this term for club and country, could be tempted to move.

Manchester United will be one of the sides keen on Varane’s services, with defensive reinforcements high on the summer agenda for the Red Devils.

The Old Trafford outfit have also been linked with Roma’s Kostas Manolas, Tottenham Hotspur’s Toby Alderweireld and Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly.
