Intense Tension: Man United Ready to Bid Farewell to the Epitome of Class

MU is said to be ready to part with an important player in the squad after he had a discussion with coach Ten Hag.

According to Daily Mail, Manchester United star Raphael Varane is said to want to find a way out in the upcoming winter transfer window. The former Real Madrid defender feels dissatisfied with having to sit on the bench a lot this season.

The British newspaper further revealed that the relationship between Varane and head coach Erik Ten Hag is currently considered broken. Recently, the French defender came to have a tense exchange with the MU captain.

The incident took place right after Varane was eliminated from the Manchester derby in October. At that time, the person Ten Hag chose to replace him was Jonny Evans, a 35-year-old midfielder.

The match against Man City was just one of the times Varane was placed as a substitute for Maguire, Jonny Evans, and Lindelof this season. Statistics show that the former Real star only started 1 of MU’s last eight matches.

With the class having won the C1 Cup four times, Varane of course appeared extremely dissatisfied and even felt insulted. Leading to the desire to leave Old Trafford as soon as possible.

Varane wants to leave MU in January and the club is said to be ready to sell him if the price is right

Notably, Sky Sports said Man Utd also does not prioritize keeping Varane at any cost. This club is currently ready to part with him in the January transfer window if they receive a reasonable offer.

The number that MU wants is 17-26 million pounds, a significant decrease compared to the 42 million they spent to buy him from Real Madrid in 2021. However, this is also reasonable because Varane is 30 years old and only has a 1.5-year contract.

Currently, Bayern Munich is the leading club interested in signing Varane. However, the Bavarian team is said to want a loan agreement, while MU wants to sell outright.
