Does Raphael Varane want to leave Man Utd? Out-of-favour defender's stance on potential transfer revealed amid Bayern Munich links

The France international has fallen down the pecking order at United, being left out of the starting XI for each of the last five Premier League matches as Harry Maguire has regained Ten Hag's trust. His diminished status has resulted in reports that he could be set to leave the club in the near future, with Bayern Munich said to be interested.

Despite the reports of a possible transfer, The Athletic reports that Varane has not indicated that he wants to leave Old Trafford just yet. However, if his current situation continues, he may opt to pursue a transfer away from the club.

There have been reports of a possible rift between Ten Hag and Varane, resulting in the latter being dropped. However, Ten Hag claims he has no issue with the 30-year-old, saying: "I don't know what you're talking about. It's just rumours but there is internal competition. When you have to decide between two players who are brilliant - Varane and Harry Maguire - then you have to make a choice."

Varane will hope to convince Ten Hag to put him back in the starting XI when his side take on Everton in the Premier League on Sunday.
