Man Utd expected to offload world-class star - Andy Mitten

Manchester United are expected to offload Raphael Varane when his contract expires during the summer, according to Andy Mitten.

The Frenchman is currently in his third season with the Red Devils and it could be his final one with his contract expiring in June.

The club have decided against triggering a 12-month option amid his injury woes, and there are no plans of discussing fresh terms.

Mitten has now revealed that the club are preparing for the departure of the World Cup winner, who is an 'absolutely world-class' player.

Varane came with a big reputation from his time at Real Madrid, but he has struggled to find the same consistency with the Red Devils.

United are yet to find a suitable successor in the transfer market, but they have an eye on Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite, as per reports.

The Englishman has been one of the best young centre-backs in the country and could be available for £60m amid Everton's financial woes.
