Jose Mourinho wants to bring Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane to Manchester United.
Don Balon says he is determined to snap up the gifted defender.
United look set to appoint the former Chelsea chief after Louis van Gaal was axed by the club yesterday.
Mourinho will be tasked with overhauling the Red Devils' underperforming squad and a move for Varane is now on the agenda.
Varane is close to Mourinho after the Portuguese snapped him up him from Lens when he was boss of the La Liga giants in 2011.
