Bayern Munich 'hoping to beat Real Madrid to the signing of Man United defender Raphael Varane with German giants ready to make £17.3m bid'

Bayern Munich are reportedly ready to make an opening offer for Man United defender Raphael Varane

The defender has struggled for regular playing time at Old Trafford this season, making just five Premier League starts - with the likes of Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans often starting ahead of the 30-year-old.

This has led to speculation that he could leave the club, with reported interest from Saudi Arabia and former club Real Madrid - where he could potentially replaced the injured David Alaba.
