Manchester United 'lining up summer move for Real Madrid's £50m-rated defender Raphael Varane'

Manchester United are reportedly considering a summer swoop for Real Madrid's highly-rated centre back Raphael Varane.

The France international is believed to be one of a number of targets for Jose Mourinho, who is looking to strengthen his squad again at the end of this season.

Varane has been linked with a move to Old Trafford in the past. Sir Alex Ferguson tried to sign him in 2011 before settling for Phil Jones when the Frenchman chose Madrid over Manchester.
