World Cup-winning defender Raphael Varane.

We have seen Raphaël Varane for a very long term On the football stage and it sometimes can skip your mind that he's only just 25-years-old. The young French man has won almost all that there is to win in football.

With a World Cup winners' medal and 3 Champions Leagues winners medals among the trophies that the Varane has won. Every team will surely be boosted by the Frenchman as part of their backline and United are not different.

Varane, if Manchester United can somehow convince Real Madrid to sell, will provide the team with a natural ball playing defender. He also can read the game well and his defensive skill are up there with the very best in the business today.

He'll obviously not come cheap even if Real agree to sell, but with the experience he has and his pedigree, he'll be a worthy investment for United. And most of all, he'll slot straight into that Manchester United backline quite easily.
