Manchester United<\/a> will find out in the next 48 hours whether they have been successful in their bid for 18-year-old central defender Raphael Varane<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

United have reportedly lodged a bid of around \u00a39 million for the highly rated Frenchman but face competition from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.<\/span><\/p>\n

The defender admitted himself that he was taking his time to decide where his future lies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lens president Gervais Martel expects the youngster to make a decision on his future in the next couple of days.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Given the clubs involved, it would be very hard to stop him from moving,” Martel told\u00a0La Voix du Nord.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“I hope this will be finalised in the next 48 hours – I have just spent four hours on the phone, and there are many things to settle.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Varane is reportedly keen to play first team football next season and both United\u2019s and Madrid\u2019s bids include a clause for the under-21 international to be loaned back to Lens for next season.<\/span><\/p>\n

PSG have emerged as favourites to land the defender because the central defender is reportedly interested in staying for France for the time being.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
