Manchester United were close to signing him in 2011 but Real Madrid's then sporting director Zinedine Zidane persuaded him to sign for the Real Madrid instead. But right now Manchester United are reportedly close to signing him again. according to media, Real Madrid are ready to sell the 27-year-old defender, Raphaël Varane to Manchester United.

Raphaël Varane has only 12 months left on his contract with Real Madrid and the Spanish club reportedly do not believe they will succeed in negotiating an extension, which is why it is ideal to sell the Frenchman this summer. Varane is also reportedly unhappy with Real Madrid as he does not feel valued enough. This comes on the back of their latest contract play, which will continue to mean he will earn significantly less than the club's other big stars such as defense colleague Sergio Ramos and Karim Benzema.

Manchester United have long been looking for a new central defender who can form a partner pair with Harry Maguire. The French star has previously been on Manchester United's radar, so a switch will not be unrealistic. However, rivals from Liverpool have also been linked with the French defender, so they can look forward to competition.
