Raphael Varane wants Man Utd transfer

Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane is reportedly keen on a summer move to Manchester United, according to The Express.

The 21-year-old is regarded highly by current Los Blancos manager Carlo Ancelotti, but the lack of regular first-team football could force him to seek pastures elsewhere.

The Express now claims that the youngster could favour a switch to Old Trafford, with manager Louis Van Gaal open to offering him with a guaranteed spot in the starting line-up.

However, the Mancunian giants would have to pay at least £30m in order to land the French international's signature.

United are currently fourth in the league standings.
