Lens coach Franck Haise has declared interest in Manchester United defender Raphael Varane.

Varane is being linked with a move away in January.

Haise said, "If Varane wants to return, we will welcome him with open arms. However, with the contract, it's another thing. I read that it would also be complicated for Bayern Munich to pay his salary. And if it is (difficult) for them…

"But maybe he wants to come back. I don't know. Who knows? However, it is not a current debate to be addressed now."

Varane left Lens in 2011 for Real Madrid.
