Jose Mourinho has been heavily linked with the Manchester United job
Mourinho is expected to replace Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford this summer, after being sacked by Chelsea in December.
Reports have suggested that Mourinho has signed a pre-contract with United worth nearly £50million over three years.
But while there has been no official confirmation from the Red Devils, the possibility remains that the Portuguese coach could miss out on the Manchester job.
"And that doesn't include the young Frenchman Raphael Varane.
"He did not come through the 'cantera' (he was signed by Mourinho from Lens in June 2011)
"At 18 years old he played for the first time in the Champions League, and had stayed among the starting 11, with Jose, in his time at the Bernabeu, leaving experienced players like Sergio Ramos or Pepe on the bench.
"Examples of the ones who were sold are Alvaro Morata (Juventus), Jose Rodriguez (Galatasaray), Joselu (Stoke), Denis Cherichev (Valencia).
"Jese, Nacho, Casimiro and, of course, Varane remain Real Madrid players.

"That's why, like I said before, a lie will always be a lie even if repeated a thousand times.
"But there is more - Carlos Alberto is the second youngest player (at 19 years, 167 days) to score a goal in a Champions League final in 2004, playing for Porto. Guess who was the coach then?
"And that's not to mention players like Davide Santon (18 and winner of the Champions League with Inter Milan), Arjen Robben, Petr Cech, Dominic Solanke (the youngest ever to play Champions League at Chelsea), Kenedy, Kurt Zouma and so many others, all with ages between 18 and 20. This is something people like to forget.
"Does anybody really think that Louis van Gaal would play with Rashford for the love of it if Antonia Valencia, Matteo Darmian and Phil Jones weren't injured?

"Or does anybody believe that Rashford would play if Wayne Rooney, Anthony Martial and Marouane Fellani weren't also in the Carrington Hospital?
"At Madrid, Iker Casillas was put the bench so young Antonio Adam could play. Similarly, at Inter [Christian] Chivu was left out in favour of Santon.
"At Chelsea, Zouma was chosen ahead of Gary Cahill and David Luiz and before that Carlo Cudicini had to give way to the young Cech.
"These were options, not needs - options. Options from the coach that never gives a chance to young players."
