In the current situation, Raphael Varane is considered as one of the best defenders in the whole of Europe. The player has become the mainstay in the defence for Real Madrid over the last few seasons and has been able to strengthen the defence alongside club captain Sergio Ramos, even in the absence of an experienced defender like Pepe, who left the club at the end of the last season.
Having a played a very crucial role in the heart of the backline, helping the Galacticos to win the Champions League as well as the Spanish La Liga, the French man has attracted interest from a number of clubs from all over Europe. The Premier League clubs have not also been far from trying their luck to bring in the player for the season, with Manchester United leading the race this summer.
The present gaffer of the Red Devils, Jose Mourinho, has been associated with the Spanish champions for quite a long time and saw the rise of the French player to stardom during his regime. He honed his skills to a good extent and helped him become the player he is now and might be willing to utilise his skills at his current club Manchester United.
However, Real Madrid will be far from happy to let go of their star performer in the present situation, as they are pretty sure of the fact that the French youngster has more to contribute to the team, benefitting them in the new season and helping them to hold on to the Spanish La Liga as well as the Champions League trophy.
Manchester United have already brought in Swedish centre back Victor Lindelof from Portuguese champion club Benfica in the summer to strengthen their defence for this season.
Though he featured in the team during the pre-season friendly matches, the Portuguese tactician has refrained from using him in the heart of the backline in the opening matches of the Premier League and has stuck to the new combination of Eric Bailly and Phil Jones, who have not shown any signs of weakness so far and has helped their shot-stopper David De Gea keep clean sheets in both the matches.
The inclusion of the French star defender will undoubtedly bring a world of solidarity to the backline of the Red Devils in the new season. However, it is to be seen whether his former gaffer Mourinho can lure him to make a move out of Santiago Bernabeu and land him at Old Trafford as a substantial signing this summer.
