People with direct knowledge of the matter claim that Man Utd is open to considering any sensible offer for Varane, who is attracting attention from the PIF group of Saudi teams. Varane’s final destination might be Al Ahli, Al Hilal, Al Nassr, or Al Ittihad, based on which team most needs him.
A number of prominent players moved to Saudi Arabia in the summer. After leaving Manchester United around a year ago, Cristiano Ronaldo started this trend when he joined Al Nassr.
It had seemed like Maguire would be the most likely player to depart, but that is no longer the case as the player is keen to compete for a spot in Erik ten Hag’s team, while Varane has reportedly stated that he wants to take on a new challenge. In 2024, the Red Devils are eager to prioritize acquiring a center-back.
The Frenchman has been a dependable player since leaving Real Madrid a few years ago, but it’s also clear that he’s not at the peak of his form. A couple of younger center backs have been highlighted by MUFC as potential substitutes.
Footballwave claims that the squad has targets in that area of the pitch, including Goncalo Inacio, Antonio Silva, Edmond Tapsoba, and Marc Guehi, even if Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo is the team’s preferred pick.
United has been keeping a close eye on Todibo for a while now, and everyone believes he might soon leave his current squad to pursue a new challenge. It is anticipated that Nice will request a payment of roughly £44 million to free him. The football wave’s sources are not aware of any updates on the player’s alleged connection to Chelsea at this time.
Even if there are no actual plans to link Ten Hag as manager with other big names like Zinedine Zidane and Ruben Amorim, United is still behind Ten Hag as manager even though Jadon Sancho is still set to leave Old Trafford in January. Still, no one has presented a concrete strategy to take Sancho’s place.
Even though there is now no intention to move Antony on, Anthony Martial might go based on offers. The goal of United is to get fresh deals with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Victor Lindelof. Despite his recent run-in with Ten Hag for attending a birthday party shortly after the Manchester Derby defeat, Marcus Rashford remains utterly committed to the squad.
