Man Utd transfer target has already been sent advice by Raphael Varane, it could influence his decision

Man Utd transfer target has already been sent advice by Raphael Varane, it could influence his decision

Raphael Varane has already had some words of advice for Kylian Mbappe over a potential transfer.

Kylian Mbappe has been linked with Manchester United in recent days as a potential replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo - but Raphael Varane has already given him some advice.

Rumours over the PSG star's future have been circling over the past few weeks since Marca reported that the French giants had agreed to 'collaborate' over his exit - with conditions.

And following the explosive interview given by Cristiano Ronaldo to Piers Morgan, which airs on TalkTV this Wednesday and Thursday, it appears very likely that the Portuguese star will be leaving the club in the near future.

According to ESPN, United boss Erik ten Hag has told club chiefs that Ronaldo should not play for the club again.

That has led the club to begin their search for a replacement for the 37-year-old, with the Daily Mirror claiming Mbappe is one of their top targets.

They say his wage of £500,000-per-week could be matched by United, and they are one of the few clubs in world football to be able to do so.

And as rumours swirl, previous comments from United star Varane have been shared once again.

Varane's comments towards Mbappe on future

Varane, who could play a role in convincing his international team-mate to move to Old Trafford, was asked about the future of Mbappe prior to France's Nations League semi-final clash against Belgium in October 2021.

This was at a time when the Frenchman was still being linked heavily with Real Madrid - Varane's former club.

PSG rejected a huge €220m bid from Real on transfer deadline day in August 2021, which would have made the player the second-most expensive player in history, behind Neymar.

But Carlo Ancelotti's side could not get the deal done in January, and Mbappe went on to sign a bumper new deal with PSG before the summer window.

Speaking at the time, Varane told reporters: "It is he who decides. He has the maturity to choose with his close circle.

"He has his head on his shoulders. He knows what he wants. It is not my role to advise him."

Mbappe may well have a big decision to make - although that decision will surely be made far easier if United do not qualify for Champions League football next season, if they do place a concrete bid for his services.
