Manchester United are working on a deal for Real Madrid’s Raphaël Varane [mail]
According to The Mirror, Manchester United might have landed themselves a boost in their efforts to sign Real Madrid star Raphael Varane.
This comes after Los Blancos brought in former manager Carlo Ancelotti to fill the empty hot seat left vacant by Zinedine Zidane. This does not appear to be a piece of news that Varane will be celebrating.
Ancelotti is a celebrated manager who has a history of success wherever he has managed, except Everton. While he may bring about stability at Real, it remains to be seen if Varane is willing to have a second innings under him.
With just a year to go on his current deal, the Red Devils have a decision to make this summer. Whether this will give us an advantage in the efforts to sign him remains to be seen.
The Red Devils are long-term admirers of the 28-year-old. Whether this summer will finally see us make the necessary push to land Varane remains to be seen.
