Man Utd are making huge changes ahead of Sir Jim Ratcliffe coming into the club | Football Digest<\/h3>\n

Raphael Varane could reportedly leave Manchester United in the January transfer window, with Bayern Munich one of the clubs interested in the French defender. The 30-year-old has seemingly fallen out of favour with Erik ten Hag as Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans have recently been preferred as the starting centre-backs, prompting rumours that Varane may depart Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Sky Sports Germany have claimed that Bayern have considered a move for Varane and internal discussions have taken place over a potential January swoop. They have been informed that a mid-season exit is a possibility, despite United\u2019s injury crisis at the back.<\/p>\n

Varane has been valued at \u00a317million though a loan is not thought to be an option currently. His salary demands are deemed unrealistic by the Bundesliga giants. He would expect a \u00a317m-a-year wage that the German side are currently unwilling to pay, though they are keeping a close eye on his situation and how it develops.<\/p>\n

Varane will undoubtedly be disappointed that he is below Maguire and Evans in Ten Hag\u2019s thinking. Even after the veteran suffered an injury it was Victor Lindelof who was preferred alongside Maguire in the 1-0 win over Luton, with Varane reduced to an 11-minute cameo off the bench.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely not,\u201d Ten Hag said earlier this month when asked if there was an issue between himself and Varane, with many perplexed at his omission. \u201cAs I said, it is about tactical reasons why I chose these partnerships. I think Harry and Jonny did well (against Fulham).<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I said last year, Harry didn\u2019t play a lot, so I was very happy with Rapha\u2019s performances. I have always been happy with his performance. But in this moment, Harry is playing very well and there is internal competition.<\/p>\n
