Hello Ed, now that Zidane has left Madrid, does it seem more likely that Varane will leave, and is this relevant to United at all?

{Ed002's Note - Raphael Varane (CB) If he does not sign a renewal he will be sold in the summer - possibly leaving Real Madrid needing to add three CBs. Manchester United have other targets but could be tempted. Mr Mourinho was looking for a way to sign Varane for Spurs in the summer but he will now be off the list for them. He is also on the list of CB options the Chelsea coach has identified. Manchester United were interested when Mr Mourinho was coach but have preferred options now. The situation regarding the Real Madrid coach departing may also influence any decision from the perpective of the player - who may then sign a new deal if he thinks the club are moving in the right direction. The player wants a new challenge and PSG may push for him in their quest for a leading French player to join to keep the fans appeased.}

Thank you Ed! Do you think the appointment of Ancelotti makes him more likely to stay or leave? I don’t know anything about their prior relationship at Madrid.

{Ed002's Note - Itbwon’t make a difference even though they know each other.}
