If Manchester United fail to sign Jose Mourinho in place of manager Louis van Gaal, their fate in the next season’s English Premier League title will be compromised.
This is due to a claim by Real Madrid star Raphael Varane, who says he will snub his deal with the Reds if Jose Mourinho doesn’t replace Louis van Gaal this summer.
United last talk with Varane yielded to £30m sign in of the player come this summer transfer window.
Varane, has been close to Mourinho, since he was his boss at the Spanish giants in 2011.
Missing out on Varane would therefore mean a huge blow to United, after missing on Matts Hummels who joined Bayern Munich.
