#2 Raphael Varane
Manchester United was close to signing Raphael Varane a few seasons ago before they settled for Phil Jones. Though they tried signing the Frenchman later, their effort was fruitless.
In 2018, Raphael Varane joined the list of the very few footballers who have won both the Champions League and the World Cup in the same year. For both Real Madrid and the France national team, Raphael Varane's prowess at the back has been extraordinary.
He has formed a strong defensive partnership with Sergio Ramos and Samuel Umtiti at club and country level respectively, which has propelled him to become one of the best defenders playing right now.
Despite his achievements, Raphael Varane is still young, and has a long career ahead of him. He has good captaincy skills, and is reliable with set-pieces as well. Hence, Manchester United need to try and sign him to avoid leaking further goals.
David De Gea needs a towering presence in front of him, and Varane is an ideal option for United.
