Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Manchester United rampage in transfer market. After successfully getting Jadon Sancho, Man Utd are ready to spend a lot of money to get Raphael Varane and Kieran Trippier at once.
Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has stated that a porous back line was Man Utd’s biggest weakness last season. For that Man Utd are hunting for defenders in the transfer market this season.
Unmitigated, the Daily Mail claims Man Utd are trying to buy Varane and Trippier at once. The Red Devils are rumored to have to spend £ 68 million or equivalent to Rp 1.36 trillion.
Varane’s contract with Real Madrid has one year remaining. The French player is believed to be available for Man Utd for £50 million.
Varane is claimed to have agreed to join Man Utd. But the management of Man Utd must be able to convince Real Madrid to release the 28-year-old defender. Because Madrid have lost Sergio Ramos to PSG.
While Trippier who is a former Tottenham Hotspur player will cost £ 18 million. Trippier’s contract with Atletico Madrid will expire in 2023.

If he manages to get Varane and Trippier at once, Solskjaer will most likely use a back three of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire and Varane at the back. While Trippier will play on the right wing of Man Utd.
Man Utd have previously reached an agreement with Borussia Dortmund for the transfer of Jadon Sancho for £73 million. The announcement of Sancho’s move will be made after the 21-year-old winger undergoes medical tests.
The arrival of Sancho makes Jesse Lingard’s position in the Man Utd squad threatened again. Lingard reportedly wants a permanent move to West Ham United. Atletico are also claimed to be interested in signing the 28-year-old striker.
