Varane has been labeled as one of the best defenders in the world and any deal would be seen as a significant coup for United according to The Mirror quoting Goal.

The publication reports that the La Liga giants seem to have given up on the player's decision to leave as they were reported to have offered him renewal before the European Championships took place but he stalled on his response, saying he wanted to concentrate to help France win the tourney.

However, Les Bleus crashed out at the last-16 stage over two weeks ago and there has not yet been any update which has led Madrid to think an exit is a likely outcome.
