Manchester United ace set for Real Madrid move next after been attacked by Man united fans recently – Ancellotti wants to bring him to Bernabeu because of His champions league experience
In a recent print edition, AS mentioned that Manchester United ace Raphael Varane wants to return to Real Madrid in the upcoming January transfer window. It has been revealed that the French defender is planning to seal a move back to the Madrid club this winter.
Varane’s Up And Down Season In The Premier League
The 30-year-old has struggled to prove his worth as a consistent performer at Old Trafford this season. Varane has only made 14 appearances for the Red Devils during this campaign, scoring one goal in all competitions.
The France international deserves some credit for averaging 0.6 tackles, 0.4 interceptions and 3.9 clearances per game in the Premier League. He has even been careful with his ball distribution after making 90.9% of his attempted passes in top-flight football (stats via whoscored).
His current contract at the Mancunian club will run out in 2025 which could make it difficult for Los Blancos to land him on the cheap in this winter transfer window.
Should Real Madrid Boss Carlo Ancelotti Bring Varane Back This January?
Varane is a tough-tackling defender who can time his challenges well to earn the ball back for his side inside his half. He doesn’t hesitate to put his foot through the ball when needed and is a dominant presence in the air. Varane is even proficient at playing his way out from the back.
However, the Frenchman has been quite injury-prone of late and is currently struggling to perform at a high level consistently under the stewardship of Erik ten Hag this season.
Hence, Varane might welcome a move back to Real Madrid where he previously enjoyed a successful spell. He already knows La Liga well and won’t take much time to settle into life at the Madrid club.
Thus, Los Blancos head coach Carlo Ancelotti should consider going all out to bring Varane back to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium as he could help his team win the La Liga title and maybe even challenge for the UEFA Champions League trophy this season.
However, at 30, Varane won’t be a long-term fix to Real Madrid’s defensive concerns. Still, Ancelotti should focus on getting a deal done for him when the transfer window commences at the start of next year.
