Raphael Varane needs to be replaced

The Red Devils in their second season under Erik ten Hag had a difficult start to the 2023/24 Premier League season, with 2 wins (Wolves, Nottingham Forest), 2 losses (Tottenham, Arsenal).

Besides Andre Onana who has not shown that he can replace De Gea, except for better footwork, Erik ten Hag also has no stability in the number 1 central defender pair Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez.

In the big match MU 1-3 Arsenal, Varane was absent after only playing 45 minutes of the match Devils came back 3-2 Nottingham Forest. Even Martinez was not in good shape, leaving the field in the 67th minute in the match against Arsenal.

According to "former player" Andy Cole, MU should consider finding a replacement for Raphael Varane - a player with a history of injury - in the summer transfer window next year.

Andy Cole said: “In the last five years, United have spent £150m on centre-backs and haven’t brought in a centre-forward until this summer. Now you’re talking about United buying another centre-back because you don’t know what Varane can do (for United) with his injury history.”

Varane has missed 35 games for MU after joining from Real Madrid in the summer of 2021.

According to Andy Cole, MU still has a lot of work to do if they want to compete for titles.

Luka Modric denies possibility of joining Inter Miami

Recently, veteran midfielder Luka Modric was spotted on vacation with Inter Miami boss David Beckham. The meeting took place in Spain, when Ancelotti gave Real Madrid players a few days off after their victory over Celta Vigo (August 26).

That makes fans speculate that the former MU and Real Madrid player is... luring Luka Modric to join Inter Miami, to play with the trio... Barca: Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.

However, the veteran Real Madrid midfielder has spoken out about their conversation, implicitly denying this possibility.

“It had nothing to do with football,” he said. “We met the Beckhams by chance, and my family was on holiday. We had dinner together, but all we talked about was Croatia, the Adriatic, the food and the people. David Beckham is a great gentleman, very nice to talk to, as are his wife and children.”

Sharing with his hometown media recently, Luka Modric said he plans to pursue a coaching career after hanging up his boots.

PSG wants to 'steal' Bernardo Silva

According to a source from France, when PSG wanted to 'steal' Bernardo Silva from Pep Guardiola's squad, Man City also expressed the opposite, suggesting to include Warren Zaire-Emery in contract negotiations.

However, PSG had no intention of losing the 17-year-old talent and refused. Instead, they offered Verratti and goalkeeper Donnarumma to Man City.

As a result, Pep Guardiola once again successfully kept Bernardo Silva, despite both PSG and Barca trying to tempt him.

As for Warren Zaire-Emery, he is one of the most exciting young talents in world football right now. The 17-year-old is currently a key member of coach Luis Enrique's first team and is considered an important part of PSG's future.
