(Football news) The summer transfer season for Manchester United has been tremendously hit-and-miss. Although the Red Devils have made some nice acquisitions, you always feel like they could need more players.

Some unexpected names are also being connected with probable departures because money must now be raised in order to bring in further signings. The newest is Raphael Varane. Some media outlets have reported that Saudi Arabia has been showing interest in the Frenchman.

But dependable journalist Julien Laurens has dispelled those allegations and calmed United supporters’ fears.

According to Laurens, despite the rumours, the United star is very pleased at the club and won’t be moving. The French journalist is still of the opinion that no contact has even been made; however, Rapha would reject any such offer.

Rapha has handled this situation flawlessly. The World Cup champion has publicly refuted the rumours as soon as they gained traction. You carry it out exactly like this.

Varane’s loss at this point would have been disastrous. He is essential to United’s style of play. His expertise, positional understanding, knowledge, and passing prowess are crucial.

He does sustain some injuries, but overall, over the course of a lengthy season, the advantages exceed the drawbacks.

I’m delighted he’ll be around for at least one more season since we need his winning attitude more than ever right now. I have no doubt that he will play a significant role in United’s turnaround, if and when it occurs.
