Sensation

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal is reportedly eyeing a swoop for a player who Sir Alex Ferguson also tried to sign for the club before a move to Real Madrid. Latest reports suggest:

MANCHESTER UNITED boss Louis van Gaal is considering a shock swoop for Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane.

The report suggests that the French international wants more game time after having to play second fiddle to Pepe and Sergio Ramos for a couple of years.

In truth we thought that he would have displaced one of them by now. Because we genuinely believe that this is one of the best prospects in Spain.

Varane looks every bit the mini Ferdinand. He’s just 21 but already so composed and more technically gifted than many forwards.

He’s ahead of the likes of £32m Eliaquim Mangala in the French set up and for very good reason. Because, while Varane can still bulk up a little, his game intelligence, pace and ability on the ball are already comparable with the legend that is Rio Ferdinand.

These sorts of ball playing defenders are so rare. When they do come along they cost a lot of money. And, in reality, we just can’t see Real Madrid letting him go. He’s so good that they would just try to buy him back again in a year or two.

Manchester United could certainly use his talent but we think that he will be staying at Real Madrid.

Let’s see the lad in action. Manchester United fans: gettable?
