Manchester United and Chelsea have set eyes on Real Madrid’s number 2 Rafael Varane. Varane who is tipped to be the next Hierro at Real Madrid has not been starting games lately with Pepe and Sergio Ramos ahead of him. Varane, however did sign a new contract for the Los Blancos but that has not affected the interest of Louis Van Gaal or Jose Mourinho. Manchester United need a solid centre half to aid the in form David de Gea while Chelsea see Varane as their Captain, John Terry’s replacement. Jose Mourinho has been an admirer of the Frenchman. It will be interesting whether Varane decides to leave the Spanish capital or stay in the white jersey… more to follow 

Manchester United and Chelsea are interesting in the young Real Madrid centre
half Rafael Varane.

Manchester United

Brief History

Manchester United is regarded as one of the oldest football clubs in the Premier League. The team was formed in 1878, but under the name?Newton Heath LYR Football Club. It was only in 1902 that it was officially named Manchester United.

The Red Devils are arguably the most successful team in the Premier League. This was even back when the League was known as the Football League.

From 1945 onward, after the second World War, it was also the beginning of one of the greatest eras of Manchester United. In other words, it was the era of the 'Busby Babes'. However, in 1958, the rampant Busby Babes were halted in their tracks, by the Munich Air disaster, which claimed the lives of eight players. However, Matt Busby managed to rebuild the team once again.

Then, from 1986 to 2013, the next great Manchester United era began. Namely, the Sir Alex Ferguson era, where the Red Devils were dominant. Although they had a sluggish start, they came into their own in the 1990s.

Currently, after going through a few managers like David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho. Finally, the team has settled with United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Manchester United

Manchester United Brief History Manchester United is regarded as one of the oldest football clubs in the Premier League. The team was formed in 1878, but under the name?Newton Heath LYR Football Club. It was only in 1902 that it was officially named Manchester United. The Red Devils are arguably the most successful team in the Premier League. This was even back when the League was known as the Football League. From 1945 onward, after the second World War, it was also the beginning of one of the greatest eras of Manchester United. In other words, it was the era of the &#8216;Busby Babes&#8217;. However, in 1958, the rampant Busby Babes were halted in their tracks, by the Munich Air disaster, which claimed the lives of eight players. However, Matt Busby managed to rebuild the team once again. Then, from 1986 to 2013, the next great Manchester United era began. Namely, the Sir Alex Ferguson era, where the Red Devils were dominant. Although they had a sluggish start, they came into their own in the 1990s. Currently, after going through a few managers like David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho. Finally, the team has settled with United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Ownership The team is owned by the Glazer family and the finances are managed by Ed Woodward.
