Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane is eager to hear from Manchester United. Varane is aware of United's interest ahead of the summer market.

The Daily Express says Varane is desperate for regular first-team football as he looks to fulfil his unquestionable potential, and reports claim that he has his sights set on an Old Trafford switch.

Louis van Gaal is in the market for a new centre-back, and is willing to spend as much as £30m to secure Varane's signature.

Real coach Carlo Ancelotti rates Varane highly, but cannot find room for the youngster in his line-up.
