Manchester United are in the market for a top quality central defender and big names are linked.
Louis van Gaal badly wanted Mats Hummels in the summer transfer window but the Dortmund captain stayed put and the move is highly unlikely mid-season.
According to the latest reports, two Real Madrid central defenders have been linked with a move to Old Trafford.
The players in discussion are Pepe and Varane.
Manchester United are eager to secure Pepe but the Portuguese is the preferred starter for Carlo Ancelotti alongside Spanish international Ramos in central defense.
Pepe is set to be handed a new contract and hence United are now more interested in securing young French international Raphael Varane.
Signed by Jose Mourinho for Real Madrid, Mou wants him at Stamford Bridge while Manchester City are also interested.
However, as per the provided link, reports in France suggest that Manchester United and Old Trafford are Varane’s preferred destination and hence the Red Devils should be favorites to sign him.
We shall see how the transfer saga unfolds in this month.

Varane is a brilliant signing, if he is available then go get him.
Varane is better than Hummels, so let try and get him now or sign Pepe.
Varane go for him he’s brilliant bale pointless going for him so stop he will never leve is club so go els were
i think i would go for Mats Hummel, though, Varane can never be ruled out. The league is getting more frezier, LvG should be able to get us more quality defenders who are better than shaky pair of Smalling and Evans.
I don’t think Varane is shaky, it’s just that he is not given enough game time at Madrid like we see Hummels play at Dortmund’s, it’s just the same as to smalling he was fantastic when he partners Rojo, they played about three games not conceding a goal, people don’t see that. Varane is going to be cheap and age is bonus as compared to Hummels. Go for him if the gates are open Ed WdWd.
