Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is serious about prising Raphael Varane away from Real Madrid.

The Telegraph says Mourinho is searching for defensive recruits as he looks to take his side back to the top.

And Burnley star Michael Keane is thought to be high on his wish list of potential centre-backs arrivals.

United are in pole position to prise the England international away from Turf Moor.

But they indicate Mourinho could abandon those plans if the chance to sign Varane arises.
