Manchester United are reportedly plotting a move to sign a top-class replacement for Raphael Varane this summer.

Manchester United are reportedly eyeing a move for Tosin Adarabioyo, the former Manchester City defender now at Fulham.

The 26-year-old Manchester native progressed through City's ranks but found limited opportunities before spending time on loan at West Brom and Blackburn.

Since joining Fulham in 2020, he's become a pivotal figure in their defense, becoming one of the first names on the team sheet.

According to Manchester Evening News, United are aiming to take advantage of his refusal to sign a new contract at Craven Cottage and snap the centre-back up on a free transfer at the end of the campaign.

Raphael Varane's future is uncertain, and Harry Maguire may leave the club at the end of the season.

 Adarabioyo has made 20 Premier League appearances this season and the Red Devils are confident of tying up a deal soon.
