End of the road for Raphael Varane at Man Utd? Red Devils open to offers for veteran defender with Bayern Munich and Al-Ittihad among potential suitors

Varane has fallen way down the pecking order under Erik ten Hag and has played just eight times in the Premier League. Since the beginning of October, Varane has played 18 minutes of football, and was on the bench for both of the club's recent games against Everton and Newcastle. A report from <a href="https://twitter.com/SportsZone__/status/1731034487625019580" target="_blank">Sports Zone</a> now claims that United are willing to sell the France international in January.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Both <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/raphael-varane-leave-man-utd-defender-transfer-bayern-munich/blt847715b235b9b4a7" target="_blank">Bayern Munich</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/saudi-pro-league-january-transfer-targets-mohamed-salah-luka-modric-and-cristiano-ronaldo-middle-east/bltfd96252f002f9a16" target="_blank">Al-Ittihad </a>are said to be interested in signing the defender when the transfer window opens. Ittihad's interest is said to be the most advanced, although Bayern have enquired about his availability. He could cost around €30m (£25m).

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Varane has a contract until 2025 and has played a total of 75 games for United since arriving in 2021. However, it remains to be seen if he will be willing to leave in the January window, or whether he will decide to run down his contract.

DID YOU KNOW?

He may wish to bide his time, as reports state that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/erik-ten-hag-manchester-united-premier-league-under-pressure/blt596bbd029e25c243" target="_blank">manager Ten Hag is under significant pressure</a>. United face a difficult run of games and face Chelsea on Wednesday, before also playing Bayern and Liverpool before Christmas.
