Raphael Varane\u2018s Manchester United contract runs out at the end of this season and not in the summer of 2025 as previously believed, sources have confirmed to\u00a0<\/strong>90min.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Varane\u2019s deal does include a 12-month option to extend it until 2025, but if left untriggered by the club he could depart as soon as June as a free agent.<\/p>\n Despite being unveiled to much fanfare in 2021, Varane\u2019s future at Old Trafford is far from certain, having lost his place in the starting line-up in recent months. Harry Maguire has been preferred as a right-footed centre-back and even veteran summer arrival Jonny Evans has been ahead of him in the pecking order.<\/p>\n The 30-year-old France international joined from Real Madrid in a deal worth just over \u00a340m, but a new contract at this moment in time is looking highly unlikely. Whether\u00a0United\u00a0take up the option on his current deal is also doubtful but the club have not ruled it out.<\/p>\n Raphael Varane has been largely out of favour this season \/ Michael Regan\/GettyImages<\/p>\n Beyond Varane, United have several big-name players who could be out of contract in 2024.<\/p>\n Varane\u2019s international teammate Anthony Martial is one player in a similar situation. His contract expires in 2024 and includes an option, but as\u00a090min<\/em>\u00a0explained earlier this month, United are unlikely to use it to extend his stay any longer.<\/p>\n United are also considering the options they have on defensive pair Victor Lindelof and Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Both players are out of contract at the end of the season too and\u00a090min<\/em>\u00a0understands that United are yet to make a decision on either defender.<\/p>\n
