EPL: Man United CEO identifies Real Madrid star as possible January signing

Manchester United Executive Vice Chairman, ED Woodward has identified Real Madrid defender, Raphael Varane as a possible January signing.
United are targeting the French star as they bid to bolster their defence.

Manager Jose Mourinho was desperate to strengthen his options in central defence and was denied the chance by Ed Woodward because he was unwilling to spend heavily after major investment in defenders over the past two years.
However, United’s struggles so far this season mean moves in the January transfer market are likely.
The Manchester Evening News reports that the club’s focus is on Varane.
United been strongly linked with Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane in the past.
According to the newspaper, United began making plans for January immediately after the summer transfer window closed.

This is despite the fact potential players could be ineligible to play in Europe.
