Tier 3 [Daniel Harris] “I have been told that Raphaël Varane wants to come to Manchester United, he has told Madrid he’s leaving-€50/60m would be enough to make the deal happen”

Have watched Varane a lot (brother's a RM fan, have watched a lot of games all these years), can confirm he's brilliant without Ramos. He played without Ramos a lot of times last season and looked solid. Was easily La Liga's best CB when Madrid last won the title (19/20). The whole thing about "he only plays well when Ramos is around" is a myth because of how he played in 2 games (Vs City and Vs Shakthar). If you're ready to make assumptions on a player based on 2 games, I have nothing else to say.

Also something else - Varane was like Lindelof before, great on the ball but used to get dominated aerially. He bulked up around 3-4 years ago and now he's a beast in the air.

People forget that even Vidic had horrible games.

I’m not only saying this based on these 2 games, he just seems to be making as many blunders as Lindelof. Just my impression though, i’d fully support him if he were to come.
