Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane is high on the agenda of Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho.
The Independent says he wants to reunite with Varane should De Gea leave United.
The Portuguese sees the France international as an ideal addition to his back four to partner Eric Bailly.
United will play hard ball with Real if they come calling for De Gea and they feel a move for Varane could give them leverage in any negotiations.
Zinedine Zidane wants to replace Keylor Navas with either De Gea or Chelsea star Thibaut Courtois.
