Raphael Varane could be on his way out of Manchester United, after falling down the pecking order at the club. Jonny Evans, Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof have been preferred by Erik Ten Hag over the Frenchman, which has caused further frustration on his part.
Recently, he was linked with a move to Saudi Arabia that could see him reunite with Karim Benzema. But, sources from France have denied a transfer to Saudi as well as Qatar at this stage. However, a move back to Real Madrid could be on the cards since the Spanish giants are struggling with injuries.
Raphael Varane linked with Manchester United transfer after disappointing run
This season, the defender has only made five starts and the relationship between him and Ten Hag is also damaged, according to reports from Manchester. These have further fuelled rumours about a change of scenery for the former World Cup winner.
Raphael Varane had a brilliant run at Real Madrid, but decided to leave a couple of years ago and join Manchester United. Injuries hampered his progress in England, and eventually caused him to retire from the French national team.
The player has mentioned before that he intends to retire at Manchester United, Real Madrid or his boyhood club Lens. Given Madrid’s condition, a short-term move back to the Spanish capital could be on the cards. Or, he could also choose to return to Lens for a final run before hanging up his boots.
