When they can get a deal over the line for Varane, United could then turn their interest to another blockbuster signing: Erling Haaland.
Haaland used to play for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Molde and both have since gone on to bigger and better things. Solskjaer signed a contract extension as Man Utd manager recently, while Haaland looks likely to be one of the best players in the world for years to come.
His scoring record since joining Borussia Dortmund from RB Salzburg has been spectacular.  Man Utd is among his suitors and a recent report reveals they are planning to entice Dortmund into selling with a swap deal involving Anthony Martial
Martial’s days in Manchester do appear to be numbered with Solskjaer accessing his options after the 4-2 friendly defeat at QPR.
The Frenchman has almost become surplus to requirements after United completed the signing of Jadon Sancho from Dortmund.
Martial was a regular starter under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer the last term but his goals output was poor. Indeed, he managed only seven in 36 appearances in all competitions.
Haaland would bring a goalscoring pedigree to Old Trafford not seen in years. Solskjaer would also be able to flank the striker with Sancho and Marcus Rashford in a devastating frontline.
The prolific marksman admittedly recently that he would miss his fellow Dortmund partner Sancho. However, the two of them could be reunited, if the report from Spain is to be believed. One thing is for sure, 126 goals in 170 senior club appearances would improve any team
