The Realistic Transfers Man United Could Snatch This Summer

28-year-old Raphael Varane may be the perfect man to fit into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s defence, partnering up Harry Maguire at the centre of the back four and the Real Madrid man is wanting out of the club.

The French international is out of contract with Real next summer, meaning it’s likely he’ll be available for a cheaper price if Manchester United make a move. United’s defence is in need of improvement after conceding 44 goals in the Premier League this campaign, 12 more than champions Manchester City.

It has been reported by the Manchester Evening News that the vastly experienced centre-back may only cost as little as £40m, which for 28-year-old World Cup and four-time Champions League winner is an absolute steal in today's world.

United face serious competition from Paris Saint-Germain here, and Juventus are also reportedly interested.

The Red Devils pursued a deal from Borussia Dortmund to secure Jadon Sancho last summer, but failed to agree on a price after Dortmund asked for £120m for the winger. However, this summer, it is being reported that the German giants will accept offers from £80m for the highly sought after England international.

Sancho struggled for form earlier this season, but has since hit a purple patch, finishing the season on 16 goals and 21 assists in 38 games in all competitions. It has been reported by The Telegraph that Sancho is likely to be a priority for Solskjaer this summer, as he looks ahead to the 2021/22 Premier League season and it does, finally, look as if this one might go ahead, although, he was 1/20 to join them in parts of last summer, and he is now just 1/8 now, so anything could happen here.

With the uncertain future of Diogo Dalot, Aaron Wan-Bissaka could be the only out-and-out right-back going for next season for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, which has brought reported interest in England man, Kieran Trippier.

The ex-Tottenham Hotspur defender did recently win La Liga with Atletico Madrid, so it remains a tricky situation to figure out to see if he is actually desiring a move to a club that, despite its size, isn't winning anything. In fact, after losing the Europa League final at a time where Chelsea further stamped their authority on the English game with a Champions League win, there isn't really much in this transfer at all, but reports beg to differ.

These reports suggest Trippier wants a Premier League return after winning abroad, whilst it's supposedly of great interest for Solskjaer in recruiting another right-back for United. However, it's doubtful that Trippier would want to play back up to a man that isn't getting in the England squad in his position, because that would all but end his international career.

It has recently been reported by the Daily Telegraph that Manchester United senior players would like Solskjaer to make Jack Grealish a priority over Jadon Sancho this summer, but they are facing serious competition from Manchester City.

The England international can play both left-wing and as an attacking midfielder, and made 27 appearances for Aston Villa this season in all competitions, scoring seven goals and notching in with 12 assists. With rumours that Jesse Lingard may be moving to West Ham permanently, Soalskjaer may also be able to acquire Grealish with more funds.

West Ham United defensive midfielder Declan Rice has played a pivotal role in the Hammers’ outstanding sixth-placed Premier League finish this season, qualifying for the Europa League and reestablishing themselves as a top side in England.

The 22-year-old England international played 32 times for West Ham this Premier League campaign, and it is reported the Hammers won’t accept anything less than £80m for the player, whilst the latest reported state Rice is interested in a move to United but at no less than £100m.

However, David Moyes is said to have no interest in selling Rice, and is hoping that he can help guide West Ham to some European success next season.
