5 players Manchester United should sign this summer

#3 Raphael Varane

Mourinho is an admirer of the Frenchman

An ever-present wall in Real Madrid’s defensive line, Raphael Varane is regarded by pundits and fans alike, as one of the best centre-backs in the world. Being strong aerially, quick, and having good distribution, are only a few reasons, that would allow him to thrive in the Premier League.

A move would also allow him to link up with his ex-boss, Jose Mourinho who signed him during his stint at Real and played a key role in his development. He and Eric Bailly at the heart of the defence will give United the solidity they need at the back.
