But he could depart when the transfer window re-opens amid interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia.

And Varane would be open to leaving according to TEAMtalk.

The report adds Cristiano Ronaldo‘s Al-Nassr are one of the clubs interested in buying Varane.

Several other Saudi clubs are keen on the Frenchman and his agent has reportedly received offers from several teams around the world.

And Varane could be tempted to leave by a lucrative offer.

Varane, 30, has missed the last few games due to injury.

He has been hit by injuries throughout his United career and the Red Devils could decide to cash in.

The club is said to be keen on signing a centre-back in January with Bayer Leverkusen defender Edmond Tapsoba amongst those targeted.

United could also re-ignite their interest in Jean-Clair Todibo after Nice turned down a £47million bid in the summer.

Benfica wonderkid Antonio Silva has also caught the eye but could cost an eye-watering sum.
