Erik ten Hag 'keen to keep Raphael Varane and Casemiro in January' with the Man United boss still viewing the big-money stars as 'important' players this season

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is reportedly keen for Raphael Varane and Casemiro to stay at the club despite the pair being linked with January departures.

Varane has forced his way back into Ten Hag's side amid a defensive injury crisis, impressing on only his eighth start of the season against Liverpool on Sunday.

The World Cup and Champions League winner helped the Red Devils keep a clean sheet in the 0-0 draw at Anfield.

Casemiro has not featured for Man United since suffering an ankle injury on international duty in October.
