While he will be at the end of his contract next June, Raphaël Varane should not extend with Manchester United, who have already identified his successor.
It was spring break for Manchester United. The opportunity for Raphaël Varane to spend quality time with his family. And undoubtedly to think about his future. Because five months before the end of his lease with the Red Devils, the future of the French world champion is more uncertain than ever.
Because if he has regained his stripes as a starter after having gone through the autumn in the shoes of a replacement, the former Madrilenian no longer seems to fit into the plans of the Mancunian leaders and Erik ten Hag. If he should not leave MU this winter, which could be the case for Victor Lindelof or Harry Maguire, the native of Lille should therefore not go beyond his contract.
According to the English press, Manchester United already have a clear idea of the name of its successor. The Red Devils would indeed like to attract Matthijs de Ligt, reduced to the bare minimum at Bayern Munich. Erik ten Hag, who had him under his command at Ajax Amsterdam, nonetheless holds his compatriot in very high esteem and would have made him one of the priorities of his recruitment for next summer.
