Journalist provides update on Manchester United pursuit of Raphaël Varane

Manchester United are "optimistic" about signing Raphaël Varane this summer, according to sports journalist Fredrik A. Filtvedt. Real Madrid man has been heavily linked with the move to Old Trafford, with the club eager to land him following the transfer of Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho. The England international is on his way to Manchester, while Filtvedt claims United consider Varane as their top target, though they have several alternatives in case of failing to sign Los Blancos man.
