French star reveals Manchester United talks before joining Real Madrid

Despite evident problems in central defense, Manchester United failed to address the situation in the summer transfer window falling short in their efforts to sign a quality defender. The Red Devils were heavily linked with Sergio Ramos before the player signed a contract extension with Real Madrid.

We had reported yesterday that United have now targeted Ramos’ team mate Raphael Varane next summer. It is believed that manager Louis Van Gaal has earmarked the Frenchman as his top priority signing in 2016.

The Red Devils are all set to come in with a big money offer for Varane who is rightly deemed as one of the best young central defenders across Europe.
