The club has been keeping tabs on the situation of the French defender.
Varane won the world cup with France in Russia. However, it is Nacho that Lopetegui has favored to partner with Sergio Ramos.
It's looking like it's true what they say about Lopetegui. The coach surely does favor his own. However, Varane too can be given a share of the blame. He performed below par in the UEFA Super cup final.
Nacho Fernandez started ahead of the Frenchman in the game against Getafe and was cheered on by fans with every move, every tackle and every passing of the ball. The coach too was impressed.
Varane is now considering his position at the club and he's marked United as first choice should he choose to move away from the Santiago Bernabèu.
